It's an NHL DFS Showdown Monday, with what should be a high-scoring affair between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Philadelphia Flyers. Alex DeBrincat has been a goal-scoring machine all year, and our projections believe that he could have a big impact again today.

 

 

Captain

The Captain spot is arguably the most important position. This player needs to have a high upside but doesn’t always need to be an elite player. For the Flyers, you have a few choices. You’re going to want to look at Travis Konecny, James van Riemsdyk, Noah Cates or Ivan Provorov. The forwards all have the upside with points, but we shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that Provorov can contribute in a big way in multiple categories. 

For Chicago, there are three primary options - Alex DeBrincat, who gives a strong combination of shots and goal potential, Patrick Kane, who is similar to DeBrincat, and Seth Jones who has a similar upside to Provorov as he contributes to all categories, but Jones does it on a more consistent basis. 

 

 

Utility Options

For the rest of the lineup, we can consider any of the previously mentioned players in some combination, as well as Morgan Frost, Kevin Hayes, and Bobby Brink for the Flyers. All three players have been producing points and outside of Hayes, you can get Frost and brink for a very low price. 

For the Blackhawks, Jonathan Toews has come back to life it would seem with four points in his last four games. We have also seen Dominik Kubalik and Tyler Johnson show some productivity recently as well.

 

Goalies

While I would love to sell you one of these goalies, I simply cannot do it. The goalie situation here is one that isn’t worth investing in. Both teams have an implied goal total of over 3, which means we should avoid goalies today.
