NHL DFS: The Slapshot – Feb 20th

Woah, lookie here.  If you are reading this after 1PM I am sorry for you because the slate already locked.  But there is a 7pm slate tonight as well in case you want to tilt enter that.

But we have a full slate for DFS purposes on DraftKings today, which is … Interesting.

I start things off with a BOLD take because there is a late night hammer game between the Wild and Oilers that has a 6.5 total which I want no part of honestly.  So I expect a good amount of ownership to try to jump on that game but there are plenty of other games which stand out as good spots for me.  I’ll cover them in detail in the BETS section.

CENTERS

  1. Aleksander Barkov
  2. Jack Eichel
  3. Mathew Barzal

WINGS

  3. Aaron Ekblad

GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Eichel, Pacioretty, Stephenson

Now that Eichel has some ice time under his legs it’s time for him to do his thing.  Eichel is someone I was always fond of bashing for not winning you a GPP on a big slate, but a new era in Vegas and games against the Sharks could definitely tilt that in his favor.

ISLANDERS

Barzal, Lee, Palmieri

Great value here on the Isles because they’re taking on the Habs and Palmieri back at min price is very tempting as a one off and also makes this an easy value stack to build around.

BLUE JACKETS

Jenner, Laine, Voracek, Werenski

Anton Forsberg – Senators

This is an interesting game as both teams are getting significantly out shot lately, so something has to give and my assumption is that both teams will struggle with consistent offense in a 2-1 game or this is a 9-8 game.  Lets go YOLO with Forsberg.

Jake Oettinger – Stars

I have zero use for this game outside of goalies and I have no desire to use the Coyotes at all anymore.
