It’s a massive 13-game slate in the NHL today, which leaves us a myriad of ways to get some skin in the game. As I do on Tuesdays and Sundays, I’m heading the DFS route on the ice. Below is the lineup that I’ve crafted today in the Classic DraftKings $50,000 Salary format. I’ve also listed the prices for each player at FanDuel. The final thing to note is that this competition features only the final nine games of tonight’s schedule, which get underway at 7:00 p.m. ET at the earliest. Let’s dive into who I believe will have a big night on the ice!
Today’s NHL DFS Picks & Analysis
Lineup below is based on DraftKings, but FanDuel prices are also listed.
C1: Jack Eichel ($8,000 DK, $8,700 FD)
Let’s start with one of our heavy hitters tonight – it’s Jack Eichel. The centerman has obviously found his home in Vegas, as he helped lead the Golden Knights to their first Stanley Cup last season. He’s off to an impressive start in the new campaign, racking up 24 points on nine goals and 15 helpers. Seven of his points (4G, 3A) have come on the man advantage, which will have a solid chance tonight against a Washington team that’s 14th on the PK (80.95%).
