There is a crap ton of hockey tonight as only 3 teams aren’t playing today. The NHL season got extended more than usual with COVID challenges and so we’ll continue our NHL DFS coverage a little longer even though MLB is going on right now and that has priority. The contest pool on DraftKings is actually fairly decent today.

Aleksander Barkov
On a massive slate in NHL there’s going to be tons of value so I would be okay with even paying $9500 for Barkov and he is only $8500. The Ducks are 30th over the last month in FPPG to Centers and 29th in Goals allowed. Barkov and the Panthers should be able to overmatch them early and often.

Alex Iafallo
Iafallo is a great value for the Kings at $4,100 on their top line vs Chicago. He has 15 G and 19 A on the season and two of the 3 Chicago Defensive pairings have a CORSI rating below 44%.
Also Like: Filip Forsberg, Alex Ovechkin, Patrick Kane, Lucas Raymond, Tim Meier
Rasmus Dahlin
I don’t like paying up that much for DEF on big slates. The Leafs are always generous fantasy wise to opposing defenses and Dahlin has averaged 9+ fpts vs them in his last 4.
