DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks
Ryan Donato DK $4.8K || FD $6.2K
Opponent - Ottawa Senators
We may be late to this discussion, and FanDuel no longer has him listed as a value play, but I still believe he will be a sneaky option tonight. He has recorded seven goals and eight assists in his last nine games.
Tonight, he faces an Ottawa team that is in the playoff hunt but has lost three of its last four games. I like Donato to maintain his strong performance, and I also expect that he will find himself on a new team before the trade deadline on Friday.
Ryan Donato having a great season. 22 goals already(previous best of 16), best days ahead. Will be interesting to see where he is traded to. Ryan Donato scores twice in the Blackhawks' 6-3 victory over the Ducks - Rocky Mountain News https://t.co/S7SloPTUd4

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Adam Gaudette - (DK $3.8K || FD $3.8K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks
Connor McMichael - (DK $4.0K || FD $6.2K)
Opponent - New York Rangers
There is a significant mispricing on DraftKings regarding McMichael. In his last three games, he demonstrated impressive performance by scoring two goals, providing two assists, and accumulating a total of 10 shots on goal. Despite this, he is likely to be overlooked in an important road division matchup against the Rangers, a team known for its strong defensive play.
Given his recent form and the favorable odds, I firmly believe he is a must-pick on DraftKings tonight, especially considering his reasonable price point compared to other players in his position. Taking advantage of this mispricing could yield a strong return on investment.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Ivan Barbashev - (DK $3.5K || FD $5.9K)
DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks
Philip Broberg- (DK $3.8K || FD $4.6K)
Opponent - Los Angeles Kings
Broberg is a perfect example of the type of value defenseman I look for. He isn't afraid to shoot the puck, having taken 20 shots over his last 10 games, which includes three goals and three assists.
Additionally, he has 13 blocked shots, and almost as importantly, he is playing over 20 minutes a night. For a defenseman priced under $4K, that’s all we can ask for. He is essentially a lock for me tonight against a struggling Kings team, which has lost three straight games and is facing a schedule of five games in seven nights.
Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):
- Martin Fehervary - (DK $2.9K || FD $4.1K)
