NHL DFS Analysis and Picks for 01/26/24

We have a slate of four hockey games tonight that should be fun to watch. For fantasy purposes, it could be challenging, but let's see what we can find to help us win!

DISCLOSURE: Make sure to monitor the NHL news feeds for the latest player status and injury news.

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Goalies - NHL DFS Picks

 Jordan Binnington - DK $7.1K || FD $7.1K   

Opponent -  Seattle Kraken

Binny is the most affordable goalie on the slate, and if not stacking Seattle, he is the most reasonable choice.

 Others To Consider (Cash/GPP):
  • Logan Thompson - (DK $7.4DK || FD $7.7K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Jared McCann - DK $4.9K || FD $6.5K(Winger on FD)

Opponent - St.Louis Blues

The Kraken team may not be receiving the attention it deserves in the upcoming game. This could be a mistake, especially considering the impressive performance of McCann in his last 6 games. He has scored 5 goals, made 4 assists and taken 19 shots. Despite this, McCann's price on Draft Kings is only $4.9K. Along with Eberle and Tatar, McCann has been performing exceptionally well on home ice. They have dominated in every key statistic that I consider when targeting a line, making them a strong option for tonight's four-game slate.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Sam Bennett (DK $5.2K || FD $6.4K)  

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Kevin Fiala- DK $6.0K || FD $7.2K 

Opponent - Colorado Avalanche

"Despite the Kings' recent struggles to score goals, I am confident that Fiala and his line will bounce back in tonight's game against the Avalanche. While they fell short in their last game, they managed to get nine shots on goal and had some impressive chances. Although it appears that many people may overlook them for this game, I believe that Fiala and his line will have an advantage against Colorado's bottom six players. They will also have the opportunity to shoot against Georgiev, who has been performing poorly this season. I am confident that the Avalanche will eventually make changes to their lineup, and Georgiev will likely be demoted or moved as they prepare for a Cup run. Therefore, I strongly recommend considering Fiala and his line for tonight's game, as they have the potential to perform well and could be a great option on this four-game slate."

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Alexis Lafreniere (DK $4.4K || FD $5.4K)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Alec Martinez - DK $5.0K || FD $5.6K 

Opponent - New York Rangers

On a four-game slate, we need to identify value players with a high floor and the potential for a big game. Martinez is an excellent candidate for this strategy tonight. He has hit the blocked shot bonus in ten of his last twelve games and has returned 3x on his price in five of those games. I believe that anyone looking at Vegas defensemen will either choose to spend up on Pietrnagelo or save money by dropping down to McNabb, which will leave Martinez with less ownership.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Kris Letang (DK $5.4K || FD $6.4K)
