DraftKings and FanDuel Centers - NHL DFS Picks

Max Domi- DK $3.3K || FD $4.5K  

Opponent - Tampa Bay Lightning

The Leafs, coming off a tough loss to Florida last night, need to win this game to avoid facing either of the Florida teams in the first round. They also require more production from Domi than they have seen for most of the season.

Domi is signed for three more years after this, but if he doesn't start contributing soon and help the Leafs secure some victories, he may be on his way out. The good news for him and his line tonight is that they'll avoid facing the Anthony Cirelli and Brayden Point lines, which should give them more opportunities to score.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Brayden Schenn- DK $4.5K || FD $5.8K 

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Wings - NHL DFS Picks

Blake Coleman- DK $4.5K || FD $4.9K

Opponent - Anaheim Ducks

The Flames have been in "must-win" mode for some time as they chase the last wild-card spot in the West. Coleman has contributed significantly, with two goals, one assist, and 14 shots over his last four games. The Ducks are no longer an easy opponent, and tonight's game will be challenging. Therefore, Coleman must maintain his high level of play and keep shooting the puck.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP)

  • William Eklund- DK $4.8K || FD $6.2K

 

DraftKings and FanDuel Defensemen - NHL DFS Picks

Jared Spurgeon- DK $4.8K || FD $5.5K 

Opponent - San Jose Sharks

Spurgeon and the Wild currently hold the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference and have what should be an easy matchup tonight against the Sharks.

Spurgeon has recorded at least two shots in four consecutive games, along with six blocks during that stretch. The Sharks, playing on home ice, rank in the bottom 10 for shots allowed to defensemen this season, so Spurgeon is likely to get his shots -- and hopefully score a goal tonight.

Others To Consider (CASH/GPP):

  • Justin Faulk - DK $4.7K || FD $5.1K
