 🏒NHL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 11/15

 

🔥 Edmonton Oilers vs Philadelphia Flyers Prediction

The Oilers continue their road trip with a stop in Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. Mike Babcock and his team are coming off a 1-0 win against the Maple Leafs yesterday and are currently riding a four-game winning streak. They also boast the league's best road record, with an impressive 8-0-1. Even though this is the second game of a back-to-back, they are expected to be heavy favourites. 

On the other hand, the Flyers have shown some improvement over the last couple of weeks, but they are still struggling. They don't generate many shots on goal, and their offence just isn't clicking. While this game may not result in a blowout, it is likely to end with an Oilers victory.

 

🔥 Vancouver Canucks vs Vegas Golden Knights Prediction

There are several strategies we could consider for this matchup, but let's keep it straightforward and focus on shots on goal. The Canucks have only one win since October 4th and continue to struggle defensively, allowing numerous goals and scoring opportunities. There’s no indication their defensive issues will improve anytime soon.

Brett Howden has recorded nine shots in the last two games, yet his line is set at just 1.5. The Canucks allow the most shots on goal to left wingers, and Howden plays with Mitch Marner and William Karlsson, both of whom prefer to pass the puck. Howden is the primary shooter on his line, and as the game potentially becomes one-sided, minutes will be distributed among players. Given the current circumstances, Howden is in a favourable position, and I believe he has a good chance of exceeding this shot total before the end of the night.

  • Brett Howden 2+ Shots on Goal (-115 on DraftKings Sportsbook)

 

🏒Today's NHL DFS Cheat Sheet & Stacks

 

🏅Goalie of the Day: Juuse Saros - NSH

I’m not concerned about any aspect of the San Jose offence. Although they scored six goals last night, it was against Karel Vejmelka, who is having a tough season. In contrast, Juuse Saros is performing at an elite level with a 2.38 goals-against average (GAA) and a .922 save percentage (SV%). His stats are even more impressive on the road. Since the Sharks are playing the second game of a back-to-back, fatigue may set in as the game goes on. Overall, Saros is the clear top option on the slate.

🏅Honourable Mention: Tristan Jarry - EDM

Even on back-to-back games, I believe Tristan Jarry is a strong option. He holds a 3-0-1 record on the road, with a goals-against average (GAA) of 1.47 and a save percentage (SV%) of .940. Yes, Tristan Jarry! The Flyers aren't a high-volume shooting team, and even if they were, they struggle to find the back of the net. While his upside might be limited, he's worth considering if you're chasing a win.

🏅Skater of the Day: Leon Draisaitl - EDM

Leon Draisaitl's consistency this season is impressive. He is accumulating points at a remarkable rate, averaging nearly five points per game over the last six games—well above his career average. This puts him in an excellent position to provide good value, which is what we prioritize. Additionally, he is $900 cheaper than Connor McDavid on DraftKings, which adds to his appeal.

🏅Honourable Mention: Cutter Gauthier - ANA

We can't overlook Cutter Gauthier while he's on this impressive run. The Ducks winger has scored a goal in eight straight games and continues to fire the puck on net. Despite all this success, his salary is just $8,300, which is surprisingly low. Of his 17 goals this season, 12 have been scored at home. He will definitely be in my lineup, and I'll do whatever it takes to make it work.

🏅Value Play of the Day: Victor Olofsson - VGK

I'm not sure how we managed to get Victor Olofsson at $4,800 on DraftKings, but we'll take it! He has recorded four points and ten shots on goal in his last two games and faces an excellent matchup against the Canucks, who have struggled in nearly every aspect of the game. Olofsson is also part of the top power play unit, which could thrive against a penalty kill that operates at just 62.7%. He’s an affordable option with strong upside for production.

🏅Top Stack of the Day: VGK PP1

Do you want me to repeat myself? The Canucks' penalty kill is currently the worst in the league, sitting at 62.5%, and they also struggle with discipline. Any three-player combination you come up with for your lineup is fine by me, but if you need a suggestion, I recommend Jack Eichel, Mark Stone, and Victor Olofsson as my preferred trio.
