Welcome back for another NHL Playbook and more NHL DFS picks! We have a massive 11-game slate with some very high scoring teams. There are plenty of elite players to choose from, but we need to ensure we select the right ones.

There are also a handful of games with a goal total of 5.5. These games tend to be low scoring, so targeting a goalie from these matches would be wise. Just remember: goalies are voodoo.

 

 

 

NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, December 10th

Before we get into NHL DFS picks, let’s make some pick’em picks for the night over on Sleeper Fantasy.

There are lots of ways we try to fill your wallet over here at Fantasy Alarm and this is just another option.

 

 

 

NHL DFS Pick'em Picks On Sleeper With Promo Code VAULT3

The Pittsburgh Penguins allow a ton of shots against, and Ross Colton is decent at generating scoring chances five-on-five. I don’t know why his shot total is low, but we will take it.

Matvei Michkov has points in his last four games and played a total of 19-minutes last game. John Tortorella will bring his minutes back down because he hates fun, but the rookie is in a good spot to keep his point streak alive.

The Sharks are just a team you want to exploit every time they are in action. They can’t defend on the road and the Hurricanes are pretty good at pushing the play. Sebastian Aho is going to see a healthy amount of ice time and he’s going to get his chances to fire the puck. 

The only thing that could slow him down is if this game is out of reach after the first period and he doesn’t see as much ice time.

 

 

 

Tuesday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Pyotr Kochetkov

Sticking with the Hurricanes, Pyotr Kochetkov is by far the best cash-game goalie on the slate and it’s not even close. He’s 7-1-0 on home ice and faces a Sharks team that just can’t score goals. 

He won’t see enough shots to flirt with the save bonus, but all we want is for him to pick up the win and that seems like a lock.

Play Of The Day: Kirill Kaprizov - MIN

When you have a chance to play Kirill Kaprizov on the road, you almost have no choice but to do it. Over 65% of his points have come on the road, and he loves shooting the puck. 

I don’t think his matchup on paper is elite, but he is, and I’ll gladly pay up for him and get him at low ownership.

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Shane Wright - SEA

Shane Wright has goals in his last three games and is seeing a healthy amount of ice time. Despite his recent surge, his price tag on DraftKings hasn’t moved, starting at $2600. 

Florida is a very good hockey team, but they have been leaking some goals of late. Wright doesn’t have to find the back of the net to hit value; a couple of shots on goal and a point is more than enough.

Stack Of The Day - LAK PP1 (Adrian Kempe - Quinton Byfield - Kevin Fiala)

I don’t love all three of these players, but I do love their matchup. The Islanders are last on the penalty kill, operating at 65%. Los Angeles isn’t great on the power play, but they will get their chances, and you have to believe one will find the back of the net. 

We also get exposure to three separate lines, so if the power play doesn’t connect, maybe we can get all three of these players to produce five-on-five.
