NHL DFS: The Slapshot – December 12th

A good amount of B2B/3 in 4 teams tonight, which has been going very well all week long for picking spots.

  • Teams on B2B & 3 in 4 nights = Carolina, St. Louis, Minnesota, Anaheim
  • Teams on 3 in 4 nights but not last night = Nashville

LINE LOCK OF THE NIGHT

Vancouver Canucks

JT Miller, Brock Boeser, Tanner Pearson, Quinn Hughes

I whiffed last night on the Coyotes and so I am going to follow it up tonight with another longshot play.  This one though is a better offense who draws a road weary Hurricanes team playing B2B and 3 in 4 nights.  That should help the Canucks out and give us enough boost to consider this dirt cheap 2nd line.

SECONDARY STACKS

Vegas Golden Knights

Karlsson, Smith, Marchessault

I like Vegas to handle the Wild tonight, in a 4-1 type game with the Karlson-Smith-Marchessault line being the best full stack option.  We can consider crossing the top lines here simply to ensure that Pacioretty is in your lineup as he is the top overall winger on this slate, but having Wild Bill in a lineup is a safe play for good value and lets you have one of the top Avalanche who I expect to get a little ignored in a tough perceived spot vs Florida.

Colorado Avalanche

MacKinnon – Landeskog – Makar

If Barkov remains out for the Panthers then their defense is going to struggle to keep this line off the scoreboard.
