Below are optimal lineups for Tuesday's NHL DFS slate.
Our cash game core plays come from Pittsburgh and Vegas as those teams are big favorites per Vegas, and they also have good matchups per our numbers. From Pittsburgh the Evgeni Malkin line is the safest play, and from Vegas Erik Haula's line should have a good matchup against the non-Sedin Vancouver lines. Pricing on DK and FD dictates that we choose different players from those lines. Leon Draisaitl is also a core play tonight. The Oil have a good matchup against Scott Darling who has been the worst goalie in the league among the 67 goalies with the most minutes played this season.
Our GPP lineups are built around the Dallas Stars top line/top PP unit. They're in Washington tonight, and the Caps have decided to go with the struggling Braden Holtby in net. As a result, we like Dallas' matchup a lot more than the Vegas line would suggest we should, so Dallas' studs should see low ownership tonight and always have the chance to post big numbers.
