What an amazing start to the NHL daily fantasy season it has been for us. Tonight the national hockey league is giving us another opportunity to keep this hot streak alive. On this Tuesday night we have an 8 game slate; with 5 teams having favorable matchups.

Colorado Avalanche:

Hall($7.8k)-Hischier($5.9k)-Palmieri($6.4k)

We are back with a huge 12 game slate of hockey tonight. Puck drop will start as early as 7pm. Tuesday night was a great night for my picks in the QuickPick entry. I placed 1st place out of 342 people to win $100 dollars. The stacks have been on fire lately; 6 players out of the 9 scored a point or more on Tuesday! Especially the Dallas Stars top line, they had 8 points combined between the three of them. We look to continue the hot streak on this Thursday night slate. Three teams that are playing tonight have favorable match-ups on tonight’s slate; Colorado Avalanche, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Chicago Blackhawks.

Colorado Avalanche:

Landeskog($5.9k)-MacKinnon($8.6k)-Rantanen($6.8k)

Colorado Avalanche are traveling to Buffalo to take on the Sabres. The Avalanche top line almost looks unstoppable. Nathan MacKinnon’s line could be one of the most complete line in the NHL; they have it all from speed, and goal scoring to physicality. The Colorado Avalanche first line will take advantage of this young Buffalo team.

Tampa Bay Lightning:

Brayden Point($6.5k)-Gourde($4.7k)

The reason I only have two players in this section is because no one is really sure who is playing with these two young stars yet. Some reports are saying Tyler Johnson might make his season debut tonight and if he does he will complete this line. The fact of the matter is, that it does not matter who plays with them. These two players will thrive in this fast pace game against the Canucks. Tampa Bay Lightning’s Brayden Point, and Yanni Gourde also offer you some nice salary relief tonight.

Chicago Blackhawks:

DeBrincat($6k)-Toews($7.1k)-Kahun($3.6k)

The Chicago Blackhawks will be traveling to Xcel Enegry Center to faceoff against the Minnesota Wild. The Blackhawks season did not go according to plan last season, they did not even make it into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Chicago is not trying to make that same mistake again this season. They are off to a pretty good start with their record being 2-0-1 in their first three games. The Blackhawks two stars Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane are stepping up for their respected club so far. Jonathan Toews looks like a completely different player from last season; he looks faster, more physical, and hungrier. Tonight the Chicago Blackhawks have a tough task ahead of them in the Wild. If Chicago wants to win this game they need the Toews line to step up like they have been.

Defense Value Plays:

Josh Morrissey($4.2k) vs. NSH

Henri Jokiharju($3.9k) vs. MIN

Charlie McAvoy($4.8k) vs. EDM

Mikhail Sergachev($4.4k) vs. VAN

After a somewhat quiet weekend for the NHL, we are back tonight with a 6 game slate. Tonight there are three stacks that I think have favorable matchups.

Vancouver Canucks: 

Goldobin(3.6k)-Pettersson($5.2k)-Eriksson($4.7k)

The Canucks second line has been on fire the past two games. Elias Pettersson is a thrill to watch every time he steps on the ice; the rookie has three goals and two assist in his first two NHL games. This line tallied 11 points in two games for their club. They are playing against another favorable matchup tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes. The Pettersson line will give you some salary relief tonight as you can see the most you have to spend on them is $5.2k.

LA Kings: 

Iafallo($3.7k)-Kopitar($7.4k)-Kovalchuk($6.7k)

The Kings acquired Ilya Kovalchuk this offseason after he left the league in 2013. Kovalchuk compliments his new line mates, Kopitar, and Iafallo nicely; these three players combined scored 7 points in the first two games. The Kings have a tough matchup tonight against the Winnipeg Jets. If the Kings want to win tonight on the road this line will need to do some damage like they have the past two games.

Dallas Stars:

Benn($8.3k)-Seguin($7.9k)-Radulov($6.4k)

This line has been rolling lately, which should be no surprise to anyone. Jamie Benn has been off to a hot start this season so far with 2 goals and 3 assists in two games. The Stars top line has 13 points in two games. The Dallas Stars will faceoff tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs, which will probably be the game of the night. The Maple Leafs have let their opponents score a total of 13 goals in three games.

Defensive value players:

Robert Hagg($3.7k) vs. SJ

Samuel Girard($4.2k) vs. CLS

Connor Carrick($3.6k) vs TOR

What a great night Thursday was, 8 out of the 9 stack players scored a point or more! We look to continue that hot streak tonight on the main slate. The NHL has a loaded schedule tonight with 11 games set to play.

Toronto Maple Leafs Powerplay:

Tavares($8.2k)-Kadri($5.8k)-Marner($6.5k)

The Toronto Maple Leafs powerplay is very dangerous, even though they went 1 for 3 on Wednesday night against the Canadiens. The talent on this team is unreal and they could explode at anytime. The Senators are a young team and they are rebuilding after losing their captain Erik Karlsson this summer. They have a hard task ahead of them tonight playing against a highly talented and speedy team.

St.Louis Blues:

Perron($5.3k)-Bozak($4.4k)-Steen($5.4k)

What a game this will be as the St.Louis Blues will host the Chicago Blackhawks tonight! There is no secret here that these two teams flat out do not like each other. The atmosphere at Enterprise Center will be electrifying, this matchup will be very physical which could open up a lot of offensive opportunities. The Blues third line which consist of David Perron, Tyler Bozak, and Alexander Steen could take advantage of this match-up as veterans players. Not to mention this line is a value play and could give you some salary relief tonight.

Colorado Avalanche:

Landeskog($6.2)-Mackinnon($8.5k)-Rantanen($6.9k)

Why not ride the hot hand right? These three players have something special with each other. Every time they step on the ice you can almost see the ice tilt in their favor. All three of these players secure significant ice time on the first powerplay unit, making them more valuable in DFS tonight.

Last night we got a short preview of the new NHL season, with only 4 games on the slate. Tonight slate is much larger with 10 games to be played starting at 7pm. The three stacks that I will be talking about in this article have some favorable matchups tonight.

Columbus Blue Jackets Stack:

Panarin($7.6K)-Dubois($6.1K)-Atkinson(7K)

Columbus opens up their 2018-19 season on the road tonight in Detroit. The Red Wings blueline is banged up a little with guys like Mike Green and Niklas Kronwall starting the season on IR, forcing them to miss their home opener. I look for this 1st line to take advantage of that and post some points on the board.

Nashville Predators:

Fiala($4.6K)-Turris($5.1K)-Smith($5.1K)

Predators travel to Madison Square Garden to play their first game of the season against the Rangers. Nashville first line players will probably be heavy owned tonight in cash or GPP plays for good reasons, but their second line forwards were great last year and they will give you some salary relief if you would want to spend the money elsewhere.

Colorado Avalanche:

Landeskog($6.2k)-MacKinnon($8.5k)-Rantanen($6.9k)

Colorado starts this season on their home ice. This line last year was one of the most productive and definitely most exciting to watch at times. These three players combined produced 243 points last season. They look to do the same this season as they did last, I think it all starts tonight.

Thank You,
