NHL DFS – The Slapshot
The NHL has a lighter than normal Thursday night slate tonight but a really good one. The eway it reads initially we are looking at lots of home teams in very favorable spots and a couple of them (Tampa, Dallas, Florida) who are looking for some bounce back potential today.

LIGHTNING
I see this as the best game on the slate. The Preds have been very generous in their defense against LW so Brandon Hagel is a must own when going full TB1 but Steven Stamkos should factor into the scoring for Tampa.
- Paul – Stamkos – Killorn
- Nashville run it back: Filip Forsberg
STARS
Robertson has been great, but DFS purposes the Hintz-Pavelski combination is the right cost and the right pairing as the Sens are 31st vs Centers and 29th vs RW, so play those two at their price and you should get enough points elsewhere in the lineup
- Hintz, Pavelski, Heiskanen
PANTHERS
Florida returns home finally and is lucky to draw the Red Wings. While that first game back in the Eastern Time Zone usually is a sluggish start, they should still find a way to get lots of SOG attempts on the Red Wings, which figures to help out.
- Bennet, Verhaghe, Tkachuk
