NHL DFS: The Point Shot – Thursday, October 19, 2023

Key Skaters

W Nikita Kucherov (TBL)

Two words about Nikita Kucherov and the salary cap: tough noogies

To this point the Canucks have allowed the most high-danger score chances against and have the third-highest expected goals against rate. Kucherov comes in with two goals and two assists thus far along with 13 shots on goal. This game promises to be fast-paced and potentially high scoring with both teams being top three in the league in expected goals against rate.

 

C Nathan MacKinnon (COL)

MacKinnon has one goal and two assists through three games with a whopping 21 shots highlighted by a 14-shot effort the other night against the Sharks. The Blackhawks defense has been very suspect as they have the second-highest expected goals against average per 60 minutes and the fourth-most high-danger scoring chances per 60.
