DraftKings and FanDuel NHL Power Plays, Monday 2/11

This Monday features a short four-game slate in NHL DFS. First off, let’s remind everyone of the Votts media list and a few links to follow. Then, we dive into the Power Plays.

When you are making your teams, one needs to make sure your goalie is confirmed and starting. Sites like Dailyfaceoff.com, Leftwinglock.com, and Goaliepost.com are great places for information. Another great source exists in the form of team beat writers.  Jeff has created a list on Twitter @Votts_DFS  for all of the NHL teams, and a separate list of all the beat writers for you to follow, it’s a great tool and a necessity. The advanced stats that I use and reference in this article come from Corsica.hockey and naturalstattrick.com.

If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact me on our premium Slack chat, or you can hit me up on Twitter @ChrisWasselDFS.

NHL DFS GPP Plays For Monday

High Priced Shots

Sean Couturier ($7,000) — The play will be high owned no matter what. Couturier playing against a Pittsburgh team that cannot get out of its own way defensively. At this juncture, the only thing that can stop Philadelphia is themselves. After the last couple of weeks, Pittsburgh cannot play any worse. However, chances should be plentiful and Pittsburgh’s penalty kill is hovering around 78% in its last 15 road contests. Couturier comes in at $7,000 on FanDuel as well. Evgeny Kuznetsov and even Claude Giroux are reasonable options on Monday night.

Evander Kane ($7,100) — Kane’s propensity to shoot the puck helps here. His production has been consistent all year –24 goals and 23 assists in 56 games. Also, he has 49 shots in the previous ten contests and eight goals. Vancouver’s penalty kill is inconsistent and so is their team defense. San Jose, in the meantime, scored 23 times over the last five games. Kane’s FanDuel price is $7,700. For the second-highest-priced winger on the slate, one gets an excellent floor and a solid matchup. Alex Ovechkin gets some looks but Jakub Voracek carries some intrigue on the Flyers’ man advantage.

 

Into The Middle

James van Riemsdyk ($4,900) — van Riemsdyk screams solid play with his DraftKings price and his expected moderate to low ownership. He has five goals and eight points in his last nine contests. The FanDuel price is $5,700 which is not as bad given his name. Again, Pittsburgh performing so bad over the previous six games makes this Philadelphia pricing interesting. This may feature a time to buy low in an attempt to diversify. Finally, high-scoring games dominate this rivalry. Travis Konecny remains an option along with Tom Wilson, who is back on the Washington top line.

Bo Horvat ($4,800) — Hell, play Horvat against San Jose as a low-priced GPP play. Why? He has consistent points and 33 shots on goal in his last ten contests. The floor screams must play here. He averages a block a game as well which is a bonus. Centers are plenty and the middle class is filled with them on Monday night. Value abundant plays are all over the place. Nolan Patrick is several hundred dollars less and does not carry a $5,500 price tag either.

 

Throwing Some Darts

Adrian Kempe ($2,800) — Kempe as a cash or value play is good here. He has seven points in his last nine contests. Playing on the second line for Los Angeles helps. He provides value by a fault on DraftKings and his FanDuel price ($4,200) remains in the value bracket. Jared McCann is a possibility also.

Josh Leivo ($3,200) — Leivo plays on the top line for Vancouver and has six points in his last six games. The $3,600 FanDuel price becomes icing on the cake. If a player garners 16 minutes of ice time a night at the price, you must play him somewhere. Pricing is absurdly low on this night so why not take advantage of it and stack around. Oskar Lindblom is still just $3,500 on DraftKings for the Flyers.

Ben Hutton ($3,700) — Hutton plays over 24 minutes now on the top even-strength and power-play units for Vancouver. His floor increased by a third in that time span. Therefore, even if points are not abundant, the value is. The FanDuel price remains under $4,000 as a bonus.

 

Goading The Goalies

Again, our best bet with this slate is to simply wait for confirmations to come in. The problem lies in the fact that  Carter Hart is priced so high on FanDuel. Pheonix Copley starts for Washington against Los Angeles which carries some value on FanDuel but not DraftKings. Jacob Markstrom expects to face 35+ shots again for Vancouver but will he start? That confirmation has not occurred yet.

More picks and choices will be available on Slack and social media later.

Best of luck on Monday! This expects to feature a lot of unexpected, slate wise.

 

The NHL Power Plays combines a lot of numbers to localize plays, especially on short slates this week.
