Welcome to another Playbook of NHL DFS picks! We have a tight 4-game slate with teams in very good spots. There are some very expensive options we could target, but the value players are going to help you take down a GPP. 

The margin for error is so small in these lighter slates so let's really dig into the must have players in your NHL DFS Lineups tonight.

Tuesday Salary Cap DFS Picks

Goalie Of The Day: Darcy Kuemper - LAK

Well it took me until almost to the end of January to put trust in Darcy Kuemper but today is the day! He has been a brick wall for the Kings this season in net with a 2.1 GAA and .920 SV% which are both among the best in the league to go along with just 4 regulation losses on the season over 22 starts! The matchup against the Panthers is actually a good one too as they just played last night and have struggled scoring against playoff bound team this month. The Kings also allow the fewest goals per game as a team at home at 2.11! 

Player Of The Day: Auston Matthews - TOR

On a night with a small slate its tough to fade the superstars and I will not be leaving Auston Matthews off of my lineups tonight. I have said many great things about the Blue Jackets this season, the opponent for Matthews tonight but they are a real dumpster fire on the road. As a team they allow 3.61 goals per game, the 3rd most in the NHL and their goaltender tonight in Elvis Merzlikins is allowing 2.99 goals per game and has a .884 SV% away from home. Matthews is going to have lots of chances tonight in a game that Toronto will likely score 4-5 goals so he's the lock button of the day. 

 

 

 

Value Play Of The Day: Stefan Noesen - NJD

This game is a wild card of the slate to me as the Bruins have been really bad on the road allowing 3.79 goals per game, the most in the NHL but Jeremy Swayman has been playing better in net. Either way I like the Devils at home this season a bunch and that's where Noesen fits into things at just 4.6k on DraftKings tonight. Bruins allow the 4th most DFS points to right wingers this season and he is on the top powerplay unit. Hard to beat for the price and he also has 16 points in 24 games at home this season. 

Stack Of The Day - TOR PP1 (Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner & William Nylander)

Much is the same here as it was for the Matthews play of the day rationale but now we add in his top powerplay teammates to the mix! This will be an expensive stack so if you don't have the room you can replace Nylanders with Matthew Knies but either way this team is going to score the most goals on tonight's slate and I want to be loaded up!
