NHL DFS: The Point Shot Cheatsheet – Main Slate – Monday, January 17, 2022

Key Skaters

C Mathew Barzal (NYI)

Despite the Islanders being a major disappointment to this point, the Flyers have been more of a disaster who have lost each of their last seven games. Barzal has two goals and three assists in his last four games and will have plenty of chances to build on that against a team that is near the bottom in most defensive categories.

W Jake Guentzel (PIT)

Guentzel has points in six of his last seven games with a total of four goals and six assists over that span. This should be an up and down contest with the Golden Knights playing at a relatively fast pace this season. With that pace, they’ve allowed more scoring chances than they’d like and I like Guentzel’s chances of burying one or two on Monday.

Favorite Line Stacks

New York Islanders

Mathew Barzal, Anders Lee, Oliver Wahlstrom, Noah Dobson

Pittsburgh Penguins

Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, Evan Rodrigues, Kris Letang

Nashville Predators

Mikael Granlund, Matt Duchene, Eeli Tolvanen, Dante Fabbro
