Below are game breakdowns for each of Wednesday’s four NHL games followed by example lineups for tonight's NHL DFS slate.

Detroit is a slight home favorite in a game with an over/under of 6.5. Per my personal matchup stat, the Red Wings have the only clear plus offensive matchup of the day against a Chicago team that has allowed the most goals in the league and against whom the Wings will have a possession advantage. It’s a good matchup for Detroit whether it’s Colin Delia or Cam Ward in net for Chicago, but it’s obviously a better matchup if Ward gets the nod.

Because the Hawks don’t provide any specific individual matchups to target or avoid, you’ll want to go with Detroit’s best player, Dylan Larkin. Larkin centers the top line and plays on the top PP unit and is joined both at even and on the PP by Anthony Mantha, making them an excellent mini-stack. Larkin is priced a bit better on FD, and Mantha is priced very well there. They’ll work on DK as well due to the good matchup, but they’ll make lineup building tougher there. Mike Green skates with Larkin’s line a bit at even and sees work on the PP. Green is priced very well on FD and a good option to add to a DET stack.

Larkin’s line is Detroit’s best possession trio, and they generally take on opposing second lines in home games. As a result, Chicago’s top line, which has both Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews on it, is an option. Toews is too expensive for our liking on both sites, but Kane is priced reasonably enough on DK that he could be used there. With other expensive guys making sense in cash games (more on that in a moment), Kane may be tough to fit into cash lineups, but he’s worth including in GPPs for his upside.

We’re not wild about the goalies in this one, but if Colin Delia gets the start, he could be an option to include in a GPP lineup on DK as a hedge against Detroit exposure (since DK is the site where Larkin/Mantha aren’t priced as well). Jimmy Howard could also be included in a Detroit stack.

Winnipeg @ Colorado

The Jets are a slight favorite on the road, but the Avs are a good possession team at home as they rank eighth in Corsi For Percentage at home as opposed to 16th on the road. With the Avs being a slight dog and due to there being plenty of other viable expensive options on this slate, it’s possible Nathan MacKinnon ends up a little light on ownership.

MacKinnon is priced reasonably on both sites relative to his production and makes for an excellent GPP option as a result. Colorado has split up its top line recently, meaning Mikko Rantanen and Gabriel Landeskog did not skate with MacKinnon or even with each other last game. Check the lines in morning skate to see who to pair with MacKinnon in a stack. Alex Kerfoot and Sven Andrighetto played with MacKinnon at even and on a PP unit last game. Tyson Barrie would also be an option for inclusion in a Colorado stack as the D-man on the top PP unit.

We’re iffy on Winnipeg on the road, but you could find a little value in Mathieu Perreault on the third line. Winnipeg’s third line is a solid possession line that should have a possession advantage in matchups against Colorado’s bottom six. Perreault is the only member of the third line that sees PP work, and he’ll give you salary relief on both sites.

Both goalies in this game have some GPP appeal as there is the potential for sizable shot output on both sides. Winnipeg goalie Connor Hellebuyck is only an option on FD as he’s too expensive on DK. Semyon Varlamov could be paired with MacKinnon in a GPP lineup on either site with Varly being the second cheapest projected goalie on both sites.

New York @ Calgary

The Flames are the biggest favorite of the slate at -140 at home against the Isles. As a result, their top line figures to be chalky, so you’ll want exposure to them in cash games. If you can mini-stack Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau, go for it. However, it may only be feasible to roster one of them, and Gaudreau is the preferred option of the two even though he’s slightly more expensive. Mark Giordano also qualifies as chalk as the D-man on Calgary’s top PP unit.

Over on FD, second liner Matthew Tkachuk is an option due to an excellent price tag there, and he has a spot on the top PP unit with the top line. Fellow second liner Michael Frolik can be used as a salary relief option if needed even though he doesn’t get PP work.

Both goalies in this game are options, though in different contest types. David Rittich is an obvious cash game option due to the Flames being the only clear favorite of the slate. He’s a better option on FD as he’s the most expensive goalie of the slate on DK. On the other side, Robin Lehner and/or Thomas Greiss are viable GPP options on DK where the guy that gets the start will be one of the cheapest goalie of the slate. Both guys have played very well this season and would be very contrarian plays.

Boston @ Vegas

This game has the lowest over/under of the slate at 5.5, and both teams have below average matchups per my matchup stat. It’s even a bad fantasy game for goalies as Vegas is only a slight favorite, which makes the goalies iffy cash options, and both teams suppress shots well, which mutes the upside for goalies.

Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand are priced well on DK and talented enough to always have upside, so you could go with them in GPPs. David Backes could perhaps be used as a salary relief option as he sees work on PP2 and should see Vegas’ bottom six, but that’s about it for Bruins options.

As for the Golden Knights, Max Pacioretty could have some appeal playing on the third line since he’ll see Boston’s bottom six for the most part at even strength. Patch also has a place on Vegas’ second PP unit. Alex Tuch could be an option on FD simply because he’s way underpriced there with a salary $900 less than his DK salary despite FD having the higher cap.
