NHL DFS Analysis and Picks for 02/21/24

We have a fun slate of five hockey games tonight that should be fun to watch, and have all kinds of fireworks so let's see what stands out.

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

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Goalies - NHL DFS Picks

   - Karel Vejmelka DK $7.0K || FD $6.9K   

Opponent -  Toronto Maple Leafs

Toronto should be a very chalky team tonight, so why not roll with a goalie and team who have beat them 4 times in a row?

 Others To Consider (Cash/GPP):
  •  Sam Montembault - (DK $7.5DK || FD $7.6K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Auston Matthews - DK $10.0K || FD $10.3K 

Opponent -Arizona Coyotes 

I usually look for players who are undervalued and priced lower than they should be. However, when it comes to Matthews, it's hard not to have 100% exposure to him tonight. He is playing in his own house and has scored 49 goals so far, leading the National Hockey League (NHL) in goal-scoring. Furthermore, he is among the leaders in blocked shots per game, proving his defensive skills as well. What makes Matthews stand out from other players is his unique ability to score from almost anywhere on the ice. He doesn't need to be in front of the net to score goals, which is a rare talent in the NHL. He averages 2.62 goals per 60 minutes played, which is more than half a goal ahead of the second-place player.

 

 

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Mason McTavish (DK $5.0K || FD $6.1K)  

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

J.J Peterka- DK $4.6K || FD $5.6K 

Opponent - Montreal Canadians

I am a big fan of Peterka and his line. Tonight, they are up against the bottom 6 of Montreal. In his last nine games, Peterka has scored 5 goals and provided 3 assists. He has an impressive 36 shots on target. Over the last 10 games, Peterka's line has an XGF/60 of 3.8, HDCF/60 of 15.53 and has created 36 scoring chances per 60 minutes. They have been a dominant line but have yet to have that explosion game, which I know is coming. Peterka and his line will not have to face the Suzuki line or the combo of Matheson/Guhle, which could work in their favour.(See below)

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Bobby McMann (DK $3.3K || FD $0.0K)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Mike Matheson - DK $6.5K || FD $7.0K 

Opponent - Buffalo Sabres

Matheson is considered to be the best defenceman in Montreal, which is evident in the 26+ minutes he plays every night. He is part of the top power-play unit and also kills penalties, so he rarely leaves the ice. Due to his consistent performance, his floor is at least twice his price, and he usually averages three times his price, which is the kind of stability we want to build into your lineups. Tonight, he is up against the Sabres, a team that is among the bottom ten in the NHL in goals allowed to defencemen. Therefore, Matheson has a chance to score a goal from the point tonight, which could lead to a high-scoring game for him.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Zach Werenski (DK $6.2K || FD $6.8K)
