NHL DFS Analysis and Picks for 4/2/23

It's crucial to stay up-to-date with the latest team news and updates in preparation for the upcoming games.

Vegas Odds for the Day

 

NHL DFS Goalies

Linus Ullmark- DK $8.5K | FD $8.8K

Opponent - St. Louis Blues

The goalie tandem of Jeremy Swayman and Linus Ullmark has been phenomenal all season long for the Bruins. Boston played on Saturday, but Swayman was between the pipes, so Ullmark will be fresh going up against the Blues, who were crushed 6-1 by Nashville Saturday. Ullmark has posted an outstanding 37-6-1 record with a 1.88 goals-against-average and a .988 save percentage. St. Louis ranks fifth worst in the NHL, averaging 28.50 Shots For Per 60.

Others To Consider: Jacob Markstrom (DK $8.5K | FD $8.0K), Matt Murray (DK $8.3K | FD $8.3K)

 

NHL DFS Centers

Tim Stutzle- DK $7.4K | FD $8.6K

Opponent - Columbus Blue Jackets

Although several impressive centers are on the ice for Sunday's contests, Tim Stutzle of the Senators has a favorable matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Stutzle has played great this season, with a total of five goals and eight assists in his last ten games. The Blue Jackets were shut out in their previous game and gave up seven goals to Florida. Also, Columbus has an injury-depleted lineup, and they have the highest Goals Against Per 60 rate of 3.37.

Elias Pettersson- DK $8.8K | FD $9.9K

Opponent - Los Angeles Kings 

As Vancouver prepares to play against Los Angeles, Elias Pettersson is an outstanding choice for the center position. Having a slightly lower salary than Auston Matthews, Pettersson has amassed 14 points in the last ten games, the same as Matthews. Additionally, Pettersson and the Canucks could capitalize on a tired Kings team that had a challenging fought game against Seattle on Saturday.

Others To Consider: Jack Hughes (DK $8.6K | FD $9.8K), Sebastian Aho (DK $6.8K| FD $7.0K)

 

NHL DFS Wings

David Pastrnak- DK $9.7K | FD $10.1K

Opponent - St. Louis Blues

Although Pastrnak has a high salary, he is undoubtedly worth it. In the past ten games, he has scored nine goals, delivered 11 hits, and taken 61 shots on goal. With the Blues struggling with their goaltending and defense, having conceded 21 goals in their last four games, the Czech winger is in an excellent position to take advantage.

Kevin Fiala-DK $7.1K| FD 7.5K 

Opponent - Vancouver Canucks

Kevin Fiala is an excellent choice if you're looking for an effective winger option. Compared to top wingers such as Alex Ovechkin and Brady Tkachuk, he offers a more affordable alternative for players on FanDuel and DraftKings. Furthermore, Fiala has proven his worth with one goal and three assists in three games since his return from a lower-body injury. In addition, Vancouver, the team that the Kings are facing, allows an average of 2.93 Goals Against Per 60, which could benefit Fiala and his teammates offensively.

Others To Consider: Matthew Tkachuk (DK $8.5K | FD $10.0K), Zach Hyman (DK $7.0K| FD $8.1K)

 

NHL DFS Defensemen

Dougie Hamilton- DK $6.9 | FD $7.2K

Opponent - Winnipeg Jets

For Sunday's game against Winnipeg, Dougie Hamilton is a top defensive choice. He scored one goal and added one assist in his latest game. Furthermore, Hamilton is known as a power play specialist and could take advantage offensively on the point should the Jets take some undisciplined penalties in Sunday's contest.

Quinn Hughes- DK 5.7K | FD $7.4K

Opponent - Los Angeles Kings 

Quinn Hughes from Vancouver is always a defenseman to consider drafting when the Canucks are playing. Hughes has been hot in the last three games, recording two goals, three assists, nine shots, and four blocked shots. He has found the scoresheet in seven of eight games. Los Angeles is an excellent team, but they will have their hands full trying to contain the free-wheeling Hughes Sunday.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP): Kris Letang (DK $6.2K | FD $6.1K), Adam Fox (DK $6.2K | FD $7.0K)

 

Stacks of the Day

  • BOS Stack: Bertuzzi-Krejci-Pastrnak
  • NJD Stack: Meier-Hischier-Hamilton
  • OTT Stack: Tkachuk-Stutzle-DeBrincat

That's all for today. Good luck with your lineups, and thank you for choosing RotoBaller for your NHL DFS needs!
