DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Adam Lowry- DK $3.4K || FD $4.7K  

Opponent - New Jersey Devils

Lowry has been promoted to the second line but is still priced as a third-line center, which presents an excellent opportunity for us. He has always been on my DFS radar, especially when playing on home ice as part of a strong third line. While he continues to block shots, playing alongside Ehlers and Appleton on the second line increases his offensive potential. Depending on how you construct your lineup tonight, Lowry could be a great value choice as a one-off center.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

• Brett Howden - (DK $3.6K || FD $4.8K)  

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Brandon Saad- (DK $4.0K || FD $5.0K)  

Opponent - Chicago Blackhawks

Saad is a boom-or-bust type of player, but given his price and the matchup against the Hawks tonight, I’m willing to take a chance on him. He has been shooting the puck frequently, with 10 shots in his last four games, so he just needs one goal to help us achieve 2.5 times return on his price. Additionally, with Hertl missing the road trip due to injury, Saad and his line with Roy and Dorofeyev could be a sneaky option tonight.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

• Alex Killorn- (DK $4.4K || FD $4.9K)

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Marcus Pettersson- (DK $3.6K || FD $4.4K) 

Opponent - Columbus Blue Jackets

I love targeting value defensemen who regularly play over 20 minutes per game, block shots, and occasionally contribute offensively. Tonight, we have Pettersson, who has delivered 4X returns on his price in four of his last five games. Against the Jackets, he could even provide some offense, making him my top value option on DraftKings tonight. He also serves as a great one-off choice for your lineups.
