Below is a breakdown of Friday’s four-game NHL DFS slate followed by example lineups. 

Teams to Target

Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Winnipeg are teams that make the most sense to target tonight. Carolina is currently projected to be the highest scorer tonight based on implied goals. Aho, Svechnikov, and Teraveinen are all over a point per game in the last week, as has Jake Gardiner, which offers some stacking combinations. If you're looking for a lower cost option you can check out Erik Haula, who has also been scoring recently. Looking at Pittsburgh you have a lot of variance in price. You have the expensive players like Crosby, Malkin, and Letang, who are all worth using tonight. If you want to stack Penguins you have options like Zucker, and Simon who are much cheaper, to pair with the bigger names. Lastly, Winnipeg should be a team that is targetting tonight as well. Their top line of Scheifele, Connor, and Laine, have all been hot. Connor, in particular, has 7 points in his last 3 games, and not to be outdone, Laine has 4 goals in this last 3.

Value Plays

Erik Haula(3800-FD, 4400 DK)  - As a cheap option who gets some power-play time and some points upside Haula is a decent option. He is the kind of option who can get you some points and help you get other expensive options.

Jason Zucker(5300 FD, 4900 DK) - The most expensive of the 3, which you expect from a player playing with Crosby, is expected to get some PP time and is priced in a way that will let you stack him with Crosby tonight.

Jake Gardiner(3800-FD, 3000 DK) - Gardiner has points in 3 of his last 5 games and is going at a price that will allow you to stack up some of the bigger names on tonight's slate. Going against the Devils tonight and a high expected goal total, he could have a nice night and well out-earn his cost.

Goalies

It's a decent night for goalie's tonight. Despite their only being 4 games, there are still some solid options. Pittsburg doesn't lose much at home so either Murray or Jarry should be considered especially in cash games. If the Rangers start Shestyorkin, he is a good option with how well he has played so far. On the flip side of that, Elvis has been elite for the last month now, and the Blue Jackets are very good at home as well, so we should be in place in all formats as well. Lastly, I wouldn't forget about Hellebuyck either. He has been playing well lately, and the Sharks often struggle to score.
