DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Anthony Cirelli- DK $4.8K || FD $6.4K  

Opponent - Detroit Red Wings

The Lightning are aiming to catch the Leafs and avoid facing Florida in the first round of the playoffs. Tonight, they will play against the Red Wings in a back-to-back game after losing to Florida last night. The Point line will likely be popular among fans, but Cirelli's line has also performed very well, especially at home. In his last game against the Leafs, Cirelli recorded five shots and should have no trouble getting shots on net against the Red Wings.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Nazem Kadri- (DK $7.3K || FD $7.6K)  

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Brendan Gallagher- (DK $4.0K || FD $5.3K)  

Opponent - Ottawa Senators

Montreal has clinched a playoff spot, but they are looking to catch the Senators for the 7th spot in the conference and possibly face Toronto. Having won six games in a row, Montreal is on fire, led by veteran Brendan Gallagher, who has been playing some of his best hockey in recent weeks. In his last four games, he has recorded three goals, two assists, and nine shots on net. I like him tonight for a goal, making him a great one-off choice.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP)

  • David Perron- (DK $4.2K || FD $4.8K)

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Luke Hughes- (DK $5.0K || FD $5.7K) 

Opponent - Pittsburgh Penguins

Hughes has significantly improved his performance in Hamilton's absence on the back end. In his last four games, he has scored one goal and recorded three assists, while getting an impressive 13 shots on goal and averaging over 20 minutes of ice time per game. His salary should be closer to $6,000 for tonight's slate. Tonight, he faces a Penguins team that is not playing well defensively as they finish out the season. Hughes is shaping up to be one of the top value plays on the slate.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Lucas Carlsson - (DK $2.9K || FD $4.3K)
