NHL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today 11/9

New York Islanders vs. San Jose Sharks: Monday, November 9th

Its a small slate on tap tonight in the NHL but that's okay, it gives me more time to focus in on these matchups. The Sharks we all know can't buy goals right now and while the Islanders have been better on offense do we really trust that to continue?

Starting with the home team no team has scored less goals than the Sharks over the past 10 games. At even strength they have scored just 11 times during that time span, insanely bad stuff. Their defense has been okay allowing 2.2 goals per game but I just can't trust this team to light the lamp with the way things are going and shooting at elite goaltender Ilya Sorokin. 

On the Islander side they have played in some higher scoring hockey games than normal lately. They have gone over the total of their games in five of the last six but the number underneath these four plus goal outings is suspect at best. They have a expected goals total of 2.03 over their last 10 games playing at even strength yet they've out paced that number so far. Data is not often wrong but there can be exceptions. I don't think that today is one of them though and I believe the total of 6.5 goals is just a bit too high tonight for these teams. 

Pick: Islanders & Sharks Under 6.5 (-115 on DraftKings)

Today's NHL DFS Cheat Sheet & Stacks

Goalie of The Day: Ilya Sorokin, NYI

As it was explained in the best bets portion of this playbook, the Sharks can't score goals so far this season. Sorokin while not posting the best numbers of his career right now is still as good as they come so let's ride with him here. 

Player of The Day: Connor McDavid, EDM

The Rangers were a great story to start the season but the wheels are starting to shake loose now. Over their last 10 games they've given up 2.7 goals against at even strength which is the 3rd most in the NHL during that span. Based on that and McDavid is amazing, you do the rest of the analysis there. 

Value Play of The Day: Christian Dvorak, PHI

The Flyers center is quietly having a nice start to the month with three points and eight shots through four games thus far. He is also anchoring this top line of Tyson Foerster and Travis Konecny so great spot there. Plus the Canucks are probably the worst team in the hockey. 

Defenseman Play of the Day: Evan Bouchard, EDM

We are 18 games into the Oilers season and Bouchard has 31 points. The man is a stat menace on a nightly basis and the Rangers allow the 3rd most DFS points to defenseman on the season. Easy lock in my lineups tonight here. 

Top Stack of the Day: Oilers Forward Line 1

McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Vasily Podkolzin those are the names you need to know here. The Rangers defense is likely to get spanked and the main culprits are this group right here.
