NHL DFS: The Point Shot Cheatsheet – Wednesday, February 16, 2022

Key Skaters

C Nathan MacKinnon (COL)

  • Despite having a “down” year, MacKinnon still has 44 points in 32 games but has just two points in four games. Facing Vegas, MacKinnon will have a good matchup against one of the most fantasy-friendly teams to the center position in the NHL.

W Kirill Kaprizov (MIN)

  • The young, star winger for the Wild is breaking out with 58 points in 44 games and has four points (three goals) in his last two games. Between the matchup and Karpizov’s high shot volume, he’s coming into Wednesday with tremendous upside.
