NHL DFS: The Point Shot – Friday, October 21, 2022

Key Skaters

C Dylan Larkin (DET)

Larkin and the Red Wings have been putting the puck in the net to start the season with 12 goals in three games to this point. Larkin has one tally along with three assists and finds himself priced at just $5,900 in a great matchup. The Blackhawks are allowing about 33 shots per game, have one of the worst penalty kills, and average 13.7 penalty minutes per contest.

W Mikko Rantanen (COL)

Colorado is picking up right where they left off after its Stanley Cup Championship season. The Avs have 17 goals in four games and Rantanen is responsible for three of those scores while adding six assists. As heavy home favorites, Colorado should be able to push around the Kraken.

Favorite Line Stacks

Colorado Avalanche

Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Artturi Lehkonen 

As mentioned above, the Avs should have their way with the Kraken and the top line should get them going from the jump. All three skaters correlate on the top power-play unit as well which will alleviate some of the high salaries, specifically with MacKinnon and Rantanen.

Detroit Red Wings

Dylan Larkin, Dominick Kubalik, Lucas Raymond, Moritz Seider

The top line of the Red Wings last season was a force on the ice, mainly with Larkin and Raymond together but now Dominik Kubalik has a spot there as well. Despite there not being a full power-play correlation here, all of these skaters see time on the power-play in some capacity, especially Seider who runs the point on the top unit. Chicago has been a very heavily penalized team to this point and Detroit will look to take advantage.

Others: 

Tampa Bay Lightning: Brayden Point, Nikita Kucherov, Brandon Hagel

Goalies

Andrei Vasilevskiy (TB)

The start to the season has been up and down for Vasilevskiy but this is a good bounce-back spot for him and a matchup in which he should see plenty of work in net.

Other:

Alex Nedljkovic (DET)
