FanDuel, DraftKings NHL DFS Lineup Picks (2/24/18): Daily Fantasy Hockey Advice

We have a MASSIVE 10 game slate tonight, and there are good options on the board. Stacking will be big tonight, so look for some value where you can, and then load up on the star skaters where you can afford them.

Vegas lines are big when it comes to picking games to target, and that's a good place to start for goalies. When it comes to skaters, goal totals is another main place to start. Usually 5.5 goals is average, so targets games at six, and can look for goalies in games with a total at five.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy hockey lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 2/24/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom. Let's get to it, shall we?

DFS Forwards to Consider

Alex Ovechkin - W, WAS vs BUF (DK - $7,800, FD - $8,900)

Ovechkin is one of the higher price priced players on the slate, and worth paying up for tonight. He has points in three straight games, and goals in two of those three. He is up against Buffalo, who are one of the worst teams in the league, and giving up over three goals per game. Ovi and the Capitals played the Sabres just three games ago, where he put up one goal, so hopefully he can repeat that performance tonight.

Vincent Trocheck - C, FLA vs PIT (DK - $6,600, FD - $6,900)

Trocheck is on the second forward line and the first power-play unit, along with being up against the Penguins, who are on the second night of a back to back. He has three points in his last four games, and taking over three shots per game. He makes a bit more of a GPP option for me tonight, but like the upside a full line stack has tonight.

DFS Defenders to Consider 

Drew Doughty - D, LA vs EDM (DK - $5,700, FD - $5,600)

Doughty does a bit of everything for the Kings, and is a great DFS pick tonight. He is taking almost three shots per game game, blocking over one shot per game, and up against a weak opponent tonight. He is seeing over 20 minutes of ice time per game, on the first defensive pairing and the top power-play unit.

Sami Vatanen - D, NJ vs NYI (DK - $4,100, FD - $4,700)

Vatanen is in a great spot tonight and really isn't that expensive. He is up against the Islanders, who are one of the worst teams in the league, as they have given up the most goals in the league this season. He is on the first power-play unit, and has five points in his last four games. Great upside for him tonight, and will a full slate of games, his ownership shouldn't be too much of a worry.

DFS Goalies to Consider

Sergei Bobrovsky - G, CLS vs CHI (DK - $7,800, FD - $8,700)

Bobrovsky is up against the Blackhawks who take a ton of shots every game, so it puts him in a great spot to rack up some points. He has three wins in his last six games, and since he is facing the Blackhawks, he is a good cash game goalie tonight. Not the most expensive goalie on the slate, but not the cheapest, so a good price to grab him at tonight.
