NHL DFS: The Point Shot Cheatsheet – Main Slate – Sunday, January 2, 2022

*Today’s main slate starts at 3:00 Eastern.

Key Skaters

W Johnny Gaudreau (CGY)

New Jersey Devils: Is Johnny Gaudreau A Good Option?

  • The Flames get to face the Blackhawks on Sunday as Chicago is one day removed from getting massacred 6-1 against the Nashville Predators. Gaudreau is coming off a two-goal, three-point night against Seattle on December 30th, Calgary’s first game since December 11th and they didn’t miss a beat scoring six goals. Gaudreau is priced at $6,400, more than favorable against one of the league’s weaker defenses.

W Alex Ovechkin (WAS)

  • I won’t shy away from the obvious play here as Ovechkin, coming off a two0goal effort finds another good matchup against the sub-par Devils. With the value that’s available on this slate, locking in Ovechkin against a team that has allowed eight goals in its last two games.
