Game-by-Game Breakdown
Colorado Avalanche at Toronto Maple Leafs, 7:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
Colorado is the road favorite, and Nathan MacKinnon is the reason: 30 points, 20 of them assists. Artturi Lehkonen leads the Avs with 12 goals. Toronto has Auston Matthews (11 goals, 27 points) but a long injury list, including Max Domi on injured reserve and Morgan Rielly day-to-day. Colorado is without defenseman Josh Manson.
Players to target: Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Artturi Lehkonen, Auston Matthews, William Nylander.
DFS angle: Colorado's top line and first power-play unit are the correlation play here.
Props to investigate: MacKinnon shots on goal, Makar points, Matthews shots on goal.
Betting angle: Colorado's moneyline is the preferred side. The -1.5 puck line pays more but needs a two-goal win.
Prediction: Colorado wins.
Minnesota Wild at Montreal Canadiens, 7:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
Game of the night. Kirill Kaprizov has 16 goals and 31 points, and Quinn Hughes has 20 assists from the blue line. Montreal answers with Cole Caufield (11 goals) and Lane Hutson (17 points). Both teams are banged up. Minnesota is without goalie Filip Gustavsson and defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Brock Faber. Montreal is without goalie Samuel Montembeault, Mike Matheson and Ivan Demidov.
Players to target: Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel Eriksson Ek, Quinn Hughes, Cole Caufield, Lane Hutson.
DFS angle: Minnesota's top line is one of the best stacks on the slate, and Hughes works as a standalone defenseman too. Boldy's shot volume makes him a strong fantasy play.
Betting angle: Minnesota's moneyline is worth a look, but Montreal is 11-3-3 and at home. Don't underestimate the Canadiens.
Prediction: Minnesota wins.
Washington Capitals at Ottawa Senators, 7:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
Ottawa is the home favorite, and Tim Stützle is the engine with 9 goals and 23 points. Washington's offense is spread out: Alex Tuch has 11 goals, Jordan Kyrou leads the team with 14 points and Dylan Strome has 11 assists. Washington is without defensemen Rasmus Sandin and Vincent Desharnais. Ottawa is without William Eklund, Andre Burakovsky and Warren Foegele.
Players to target: Tim Stützle, Drake Batherson, Alex Ovechkin, Dylan Strome, Alex Tuch.
Goalie watch: Linus Ullmark is a strong DFS option if he's confirmed as Ottawa's starter.
Betting angle: Ottawa's moneyline is the preferred side. Washington +1.5 is worth a look if you expect a close game.
Prediction: Ottawa wins.
New Jersey Devils at Winnipeg Jets, 7:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
New Jersey is 13-5-0, and Jack Hughes is a major fantasy target with 9 goals and 25 points. Winnipeg has Kyle Connor (13 goals, 19 points) and Mark Scheifele (14 assists), but the Jets are 7-8-3. New Jersey is without Anthony Mantha. Winnipeg has Josh Morrissey on injured reserve, so check his status again before puck drop.
Players to target: Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Arseny Gritsyuk, Luke Hughes, Kyle Connor.
DFS angle: Jack Hughes and Bratt make a great mini-stack, and Luke Hughes adds power-play correlation with his brother.
Goalie watch: confirm Winnipeg's starter, Connor Hellebuyck or Stuart Skinner, before you lock.
Betting angle: New Jersey's moneyline is one of our favorite sides on the board.
Prediction: New Jersey wins.
Florida Panthers at Columbus Blue Jackets, 7:30 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
This line is nearly a coin flip, and Florida is short-handed: Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand are both on injured reserve. The Tkachuk brothers are carrying the load. Brady Tkachuk leads the Panthers with 10 goals and Matthew Tkachuk has 22 assists. Columbus has Kent Johnson (8 goals, 16 points) and Zach Werenski (12 assists).
Players to target: Matthew Tkachuk, Brady Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart, Zach Werenski, Kent Johnson.
DFS sleeper: the Columbus line of Cole Sillinger, Charlie Coyle and Mathieu Olivier is one of the best value stacks to look at tonight. It saves salary and still has upside.
Betting angle: Florida has the slight edge on the moneyline, but Columbus at home with Barkov and Marchand out is a real option.
Prediction: Florida wins a close one.
Detroit Red Wings at St. Louis Blues, 8:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
Two .500-ish teams, and the goalies could decide it. Detroit is missing a lot: captain Dylan Larkin, Albert Johansson, Marco Kasper and Simon Edvinsson are on injured reserve, and goalie John Gibson is day-to-day. Alex DeBrincat leads the Red Wings with 16 points. St. Louis has rookie Jimmy Snuggerud with 9 goals and Philip Broberg leading the team with 13 points.
Players to target: Alex DeBrincat, Lucas Raymond, Jimmy Snuggerud, Philip Broberg.
DFS angle: look for players on the top line and first power play. Defensemen who shoot and block shots can pay off without a point.
Goalie watch: Joel Hofer is an alternative DFS goalie if he gets the start for St. Louis.
Betting angle: St. Louis' moneyline is the preferred side.
Prediction: St. Louis wins.
Nashville Predators at Los Angeles Kings, 10:00 PM ET
Our pick | Simulator | Box scores
Here's a strange one: the Kings are 5-8-2 and favored over an 8-4-5 Nashville team. Artemi Panarin leads Los Angeles with 8 goals and 18 points, but the Kings are without Kevin Fiala and Mats Zuccarello, and defenseman Erik Gustafsson is day-to-day. Nashville brings Filip Forsberg (20 points), Steven Stamkos (10 goals) and Roman Josi (18 assists). Jonathan Marchessault is day-to-day.
Players to target: Artemi Panarin, Adrian Kempe, Alex Laferriere, Filip Forsberg, Roman Josi.
DFS angle: the Kings' top line of Panarin, Kempe and Laferriere is our favorite full stack tonight. Laferriere has been shooting a lot lately.
Goalie watch: Juuse Saros has been good, but we have doubts he can keep it up.
Betting angle: the Kings' moneyline is the lean. The -1.5 puck line is the riskier alternative, especially against a team with Nashville's record.
Prediction: Los Angeles wins.
Line Combinations and Power-Play Stacks
In DFS, correlation is everything. Stacking players who share even-strength or power-play time gives you more ways to pile up points. Confirm combinations on the NHL depth charts before you lock.
- Kings: Artemi Panarin, Adrian Kempe, Alex Laferriere.
- Devils: Jack Hughes, Jesper Bratt, Arseny Gritsyuk, with Luke Hughes on defense.
- Wild: Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, Matt Boldy, with Quinn Hughes on defense.
- Blue Jackets value stack: Cole Sillinger, Mathieu Olivier, Charlie Coyle.
The Kings, Devils and Wild are the premium stacks. Columbus is the cheaper alternative.
Goalies: DFS Starting Goalie Watch
Top target: Linus Ullmark, Ottawa, if confirmed.
Alternatives: Joel Hofer (St. Louis), Jesper Wallstedt (Minnesota, with Gustavsson out) and John Gibson (Detroit) if he's cleared from his day-to-day status.
Proceed with caution: Juuse Saros (Nashville) and whoever starts for Winnipeg against the Devils.
These are targets, not confirmed starters. Always verify the starting goalie before puck drop.
NHL DFS: Players to Target
Premium forwards: Kirill Kaprizov, Nathan MacKinnon, Jack Hughes, Auston Matthews, Artemi Panarin, Matt Boldy.
Defensemen: Quinn Hughes, Cale Makar, Luke Hughes, Zach Werenski, Lane Hutson, and Erik Gustafsson as a value play only if he's cleared to play.
Value and sleepers: Alex Laferriere, Cole Sillinger, Charlie Coyle, Mathieu Olivier, Joel Eriksson Ek, Jesper Bratt.
Strategy: salary matters tonight. Build around one premium stack, add a secondary mini-stack and finish with value defensemen or forwards. In order, prioritize first-line deployment, first power-play time, shots on goal, recent ice time, the opposing goalie and confirmed starters. A player doesn't need to score to have a good DFS night. Shots, assists and blocks all count. Price it out on the NHL DFS value check.

Puck Line Strategy
The standard puck line is 1.5 goals, so the moneyline and alternate puck lines matter more than they do in other sports.
Favorites: take Colorado on the moneyline instead of forcing the -1.5, along with Minnesota on the road, New Jersey against Winnipeg and Los Angeles against Nashville.
Underdog puck lines to consider: Toronto +1.5, Montreal +1.5, Washington +1.5 and Columbus +1.5. A team can lose by one goal and still cover +1.5, which is why puck-line betting takes a different approach than just picking winners.

The Final Word
The difference between a good night and a bad one comes down to the details. Don't overlook goalie confirmations, don't ignore power-play assignments and don't build around players who aren't getting the ice time. Look for shot volume, top-line deployment and value players who can outperform their salaries. You don't need eight goals from your lineup to win a DFS contest. You need the right mix of production, opportunity and value.
