NHL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 1/25

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction

The Pittsburgh Penguins are currently on a three-game winning streak, having outscored their opponents 16 to 6. Meanwhile, the Canucks have won only five home games this season and rank among the league's lowest-scoring teams. On paper, Sidney Crosby and the Penguins are clearly the superior team, with a significant advantage. They should have the upper hand from start to finish. We’re confident in backing them to win on the Money Line in regulation time.

Anaheim Ducks vs Calgary Flames Prediction

Remember when the Anaheim Ducks lost nine consecutive games? Well, they have since bounced back by winning six straight. They truly exemplify a streak team, and right now, they are on fire. Although Leo Carlsson is out and Mason McTavish won't be playing tonight, that doesn’t justify their being underdogs against the Flames, a team that has lost three games in a row and averages just 2.49 goals per game this season. We believe the Ducks deserve some respect, so we’re picking them to cover the Money Line.

 

 

 

Today's NHL DFS Cheat Sheet & Stacks

Goalie of the Day: Stuart Skinner - PIT

It's fascinating how leaving a below-average defensive team can enhance a goalie’s career. Stuart Skinner has an impressive record of 6-1-0 in his last seven starts, allowing two or more goals in only two of those games. While this hot streak won’t last forever, we should appreciate it while we can. The Canucks are not a strong offensive team, and I'm not sure they'll score more than 2 goals. I'm all in on Stuart Skinner!

Honorable Mention: Joey Daccord - SEA

Ideally, we would like to see Philippe Grubauer start tonight. However, the Kraken might decide to give their top goalie a break. Joey Daccord hasn’t been performing well this season and has lost his last three starts. That said, the Devils are in town, and they have been struggling to score. While playing Daccord is risky, it could be a strategy to win a GPP (Guaranteed Prize Pool).

Player of the Day: Sidney Crosby - PIT

Sidney Crosby is currently on a five-game point streak and aims to extend it. During this stretch, he has accumulated eight points and continues to defy the effects of aging. Although his shot volume isn't particularly high, he is a strong candidate to earn multiple points tonight. I am happy to include him in my lineup at his current price.

Honorable Mention: Jack Eichel - VGK

The last time Jack Eichel went without a point was on January 2nd against St. Louis. Since then, he has been accumulating goals, assists, and shots at a remarkable rate. The Senators are an above-average hockey team, but their goaltending leaves much to be desired. James Reimer played poorly yesterday, so they might consider switching to Mads Sogaard. Eichel is an expensive player, but if you can fit him into your lineup, it's definitely worth it.

Value Play of the Day: Mikael Granlund - ANA

With Mason McTavish also missing from the lineup, the Anaheim Ducks are becoming quite thin at center. This situation creates an opportunity for Mikael Granlund, who is capable of producing but can sometimes be inconsistent. His reasonable price tag reflects the potential value he brings to the team.
