Despite a strong start to the night, the FanDuel NHL DFS Picks of last night dropped short of the money lineup in GPPs.
I mean, we received contributions that were solid throughout the board. The Penguins crime was stifled in the home, but their goal was scored by Sidney Crosby while Jake Guentzel and Kris Letang were at on the assists. Regrettably, Dominik Simon couldnt get on the scoresheet on this one.
Our Jets mini-stack was a success since Patrik Laine notched three assists, a shot and a shot to direct our lineup in scoring. Neal Pionk scored his second goal of the young season to go along with a pair of blocks and shot on goal. Very nice results here.
It appeared that our Flames mini-stack was going to be successful when Mikael Backlund was originally credited with a target, however, the scoring was changed into Noah Hanifin and Backlund was left off the scoresheet all together and tallied just 1 shot at the evening. Sam Bennett completed with four shots on target.
The biggest disappointment on the night had been goaltender David Rittich that allowed four goals on ice in a 4-3 loss to the Kings. Rittich was peppered in this particular one making 36 saves but couldnt get out with a win.
On what is a small three-game slate, lets look to cross that money line tonight.
C — Jack Eichel (BUF) — $7,800 vs. MON
The Sabres are off to a nice start to the season and I like their chances of ongoing that tonight in home ice against the Montreal Canadiens. Carey Price owns a 3.69 GAA and .900 Sv% in 2 matches after allowing five goals at Toronto on Saturday, so let us see if we can strike a slender Habs blueline with a Sabres mini-stack in this one tonight. Eichel is off to a start with a goal and two helpers throughout three matches this season to go along with eight shots on target. Early-season results aside, we understand what we will get during a season out of Eichel. He is not the sharpest shot in the league because hes yet to eclipse 30 objectives after notching a career-high 28 final season, but he has essentially been a point-per-game player in his NHL career after notching a career-high 82 points in 77 games last year. We also know we are going to receive a boatload of shots on goal using Eichel because he chased 303 shots in goal per year ago and has got 3.6 shots on goal per game during his four-year NHL profession. Hes going to log a ton of ice time onto a slender Sabres offensive group as hes already at 21:30 per game this season and should be well more than 20 minutes each game again throughout the entire year. Lots of cross-category upside with the Sabres captain .
C — Kevin Hayes (PHI) — $5,500 vs. NJ
The New Jersey Devils were assumed to become a much-improved group this year (although I am not really buying it), no matter how the early-season outcomes are about, mostly from a defensive standpoint. Despite adding P.K. Subban — a offensive defenseman by commerce — in the offseason, the Devils blueline team leaves lots to be desired and theyve been subjected at the early going. New Jersey has surrendered 11 targets through two games this year, most recently taking a 7-2 wallop from Eichels Sabres on Saturday night. Its possible they locate themselves in a similar position again this season, after finishing among the worst defenses in the league this past season. Because of this, I am once again going to aim them using a stack, now in the Philadelphia Flyers kind. Call it a stack, but Im not going to fade the Kevin Hayes-Claude Giroux-Jakub Voracek line that pops together on the best power play unit of the team collectively in addition to the period that is five-on-five together. Keep in mind theres not much to talk about in regards to the Flyers as this will be their first North American sport of the year after opening the season with a 4-3 Global Series loss to the Blackhawks. Hayes is being saddled with responsibility and the worth is loved by me as a outcome.
W — Claude Giroux (PHI) — $7,500 vs. NJ
After busting out with 102 points to finish second in league scoring in 2017-18, Giroux regressed into some still-quality 85 points in 82 games a year ago along with his season did not get off to the ideal start using a pointless effort in a losing cause in Finland. Still, he did fire three shots on goal, something I think he will do plenty of this season. The shot totals of giroux have varied considerably from year-to-year within his NHL career. As many as 279 was published by him at the 2014-15 year, but he has also fired as the 2017-18 year old. Last year, he posted 229 which I presume is the flooring to get Giroux. His new centre Hayes is more of a pass-first player who doesnt boast large shot totals himself, so I think Giroux will soon be putting lots of pucks on net on this particular line, as well as Voracek. I expect the Flyers power play to be improved this season under new chair boss Alain Vigneault later Giroux scored just two power play goals each season. Its a certainty that that number is going rise this year, and I believe its a really good bet that he raises his goal total as well in the 22 he believed last season. Search for Giroux to get nearer to the mark this season with a large chance to jumpstart that aim tonight.
W — Jakub Voracek (PHI) — $6,900 vs. NJ
Competing our three-man stack is Voracek who would like to put pucks and despite not seeing softy goal totals could have this year as well an total. Voracek has fired at least 210 shots on target in every one of the last six months, however he has scored just 20 goals in each of the past 3 seasons and possesses a career-high of just 23 in the 2013-14 year old. The offender has been some criminally low shooting percentages of late, going as low as 5.2% at the 2015-16 season where he fired 213 shots on goal, however scored only 11 times in 73 games. After tallying 85 points about the back of 65 assists in the 2017-18 year, Voracek dropped all the way to just 66 points each season, and I think that it is a sure thing that he easily eclipses that indicate this season is exactly what ought to be a new Flyers offensive strategy. As he has posted as many as 35 power play points in a single season dating back to the 2017-18 33, voracek has left his cash on the power play. He dropped to only 28 last year on a futile Flyers man advantage, but as mentioned, I expect that group to increase tonight. The Devils are a horrid 50% on the penalty kill two games — 3 to 6 to the kill search for this Flyers three-man pile to perform harm in all situations .
W — Tanner Pearson (VAN) — $5,100 vs. LA
The Los Angeles Kings will play their second match in as many nights tonight after bothering the Flames in overtime by a 4-3 count last night, so that I believe theyll be ripe for the taking and the Canucks need to have the ability to have any offense going in this one. The Kings will begin Jonathan Quick who was torched for six goals on just 31 shots (.806 Svpercent ) from the Kings season-opening loss in Edmonton on Saturday. Hes also coming by far the worst period of his NHL career where he posted a 3.38 GAA and .888 Svpercent in 46 appearances. The Kings have also allowed nine law targets over the two matches of this season, a far cry in the defensively-stout Kings teams of yesteryear. Consequently, I am likely to roll a three-man Canucks that are GPP-aimed stack tonight, beginning here with Pearson. Pearson has been a drive so far this season after a rough 2018-19 season that saw him perform three groups. He really ended strong with eight goals and 12 points in his final 19 games of the year with the Canucks and has scored a goal and a whopping 13 shots on goal through two games this year, logging 17:17 of average ice time in the procedure. He is going to skate on the next line along with Bo Horvat and will form a three-man second unit power play pile with a few other Canucks in this lineup .
W — Josh Leivo (VAN) — $3,800 vs. LA
Next guy up from the Canucks pile is Leivo that comes in a cheap cost but should be provided a great opportunity to make from a team thats fighting defensively and a goaltender that has struggled mightily for well over a year now. Following being seldomly used using the Maple Leafs in five years with the club, Leivo was transferred into the Canucks last time and also did a good job of tallying 10 goals and 18 points in 49 games with the club. He is with no point in two games this year, but has five shots on goal and is averaging a tick over 16 minutes of ice time. He opened the season around the top power play unit, although it looks like he has transferred down to the next group with this one tonight, and that is alright by as he will currently skate with Pearson at both even strength and on the man advantage. Given next power play device roles and the second line, Levio ought to at least maintain the 16 minutes of ice time tonight. Hes much more of a sharp-shooter in terms of his quick-strike capability and his deadly shot, therefore we can probably anticipate loads of shots on goal in Leivo if he can maintain his minutes up in a top-six role. Having a wonderful matchup in front of him, I am enjoying the worth Levio brings to the table .
D — Tyler Myers (VAN) — $4,900 vs. LA
Completing our three-man Canucks stack is Myers that will skate with all the Pearson-Leivo duo on the Canucks second power play unit. The 68??? Myers has been used more often with his new team in Vancouver compared with his old team at Winnipeg as he has logged 23:16 worthiness of ice time a game through two games this year after logging 20:21 last year with the Jets. Myers has certainly been involved early on this year as he has notched an assist and fired a few shots on target while blocking four shots as well. There is real nice possible in with Myers, particularly in a heightened role with the Canucks. He also scored nine goals and 31 points last season with the Jets, but in addition firing 156 shots on goal and blocking another 99 across 80 games. Thats not elite cross-category upside down like his teammate and cash-oriented Alexander Edler brings to the desk, but it is certainly good for a player that played just a little over 20 minutes per game on the blueline. The Canucks crime isnt as superior as Winnipegs but I could watch Myers chippin in more up front this year and he is already shooting plenty of pucks on goal from the early going. Hopefully the Canucks second power play unit could do the damage in this 1 tonight.
D — Rasmus Ristolainen (BUF) — $4,800 vs. MON
I have finally completed my Sabres upward against the Canadiens, although it took a while. After only 1 season, it is pretty obvious that Rasmus Dahlin is your Rasmus to possess on the Sabres blueline as hes taken over since the only defenseman on the very best power play unit, yet lets not forget the cross-category manufacturing that Ristolainen has given over recent years. Last season, Ristolainen scored five goals, added 38 assists, took 182 shots on target (for the second straight year) and blocked the next 121 shots to lead the Sabres in that class. This was the fourth consecutive season in which he is posted between 41-45 points, giving fantasy owners lots of consistency. The Sabres are certainly going to decrease the workload on the still-24-year-old following he logged over 26 minutes per game for 2 consecutive seasons. Their blueline was frees up by the Sabres during the summer months and late season and Ristolainen has averaged one sign under 24 minutes per game. However, thats a true good number and maybe less can be more with Ristolainen. Hes been great so far with a help, 10 shots and five blocks during three matches and Ill search for his consistency to continue into tonights activity.
G — Carter Hart (PHI) — $8,300 vs. NJ
The Kings offense has been really good to start the year and I am not sold on the Canucks blueline, therefore that I am likely to move with Carter Hart over Jacob Markstrom with this slate. Moreover, I feel the 21-year-old Hart is already the better goaltender after he assembled a nice .917 Svpercent despite playing one of the NHLs worst defenses last season as a 20-year-old. Thats not saying a whole lot, although the Devils must have an improved offense from a season ago. They are still quite thin following the top-six and that I feel than they did in the past, that a revamped Flyers blueline will be able to provide support to Hart this season. The Flyers are recorded as -125 favorites to win this one about the tonight, so the triumph upside is there. Hart surrendered three goals on 31 shots in the Flyers but that was against what should be a Blackhawks offense that was very good, and that which had been a offense from last season. I feel that the Flyers come out tonight that is while I surely believe they will get the success too. Hart is my best goaltender with this small three-game slate for a result.
