Daily Fantasy Hockey: DFS DraftKings Values – March 10

Giroux

The only team that played last night that is also playing tonight is the New York Islanders. They are home to the Rangers, and are coming off a game that they were fortunate to win against the Leafs.

The heaviest favorite tonight, from Covers Experts, is Minnesota at (-235). I have no problem looking there for a goaltender tonight. After the Wild, other favorites include the Blues and the Kings. After Dubnyk, it’s a little bit of a mess in net. I would play it safe tonight for a goalie, but that’s just my opinion on this slate.

Play the $16,000 guaranteed, $2 entry Sniper contest tonight on DraftKings! Details below.

-$16,000 prize pool.
– First place wins $1,500
– $3 entry fee (FREE with first deposit)
– Top 1,225 finishing positions are paid.​
– Starts tonight at 7:00 PM EST
– Salary Cap Style Drafting. $50,000 to select 9 spots. 8 players and 1 goalie.
– Roster Format: 2 C, 3 W, 2 D, 1 G and 1 Util.

As always, check Left Wing Lock for goalie confirmations.

Players will be in order of perceived value, by position, and there should be enough to mix-and-match for each type of game available on Draft Kings. Some positions might only have a few plays, some might have several. It all depends on the day, the matchups, and the price.

Remember: players are in order of value, not necessarily in cost. Just because Sidney Crosby is $8000 one day doesn’t mean he’s a better value than Andrew Shaw at $4000.

Cash Games

Centre Wing Defense Goalie
Stepan (NYR) – $4300 Atkinson (CBJ) – $4300 Sekera (LAK) – $3300 Dubnyk (MIN) – $9000
Giroux (PHI) – $7300 Parise (MIN) – $8000 Suter (MIN) – $4200 Quick (LAK) – $8700
Granlund (MIN) – $4200 St. Louis (NYR) – $4500 Pietrangelo (STL) – $5200 Elliott (STL) – $8000
Johansen (CBJ) – $6100 Voracek (PHI) – $5500 Klingberg* (DAL) – $3900
Seguin (DAL) – $8800 Gaborik (LAK) – 5100 Murphy (CAR) – $3500
Stastny (STL) – $5500 Benn (DAL) – $7600
Kopitar (LAK) – $5400 Jaskin (STL) – $3600
Staal (CAR) – $6600 Ryan (OTT) – $5700

 

  • The first note is that John Klingberg appears to be a game-time decision for the Stars. If he’s in, I’m fine using him. If not, I would assume it’s Alex Goligoski that gets the biggest bump up.
  • I’m assuming the Boychuk/Leddy pairing from the Islanders goes up against the Nash line, freeing up Stepan and company.
  • Cam Atkinson is back with Ryan Johansen on Columbus’ top line. Also, Voracek/Giroux look to be reunited.
  • There’s not a real need to spend a lot on the blue line tonight.

Guaranteed Prize Pools/Tournaments

Centre Wing Defense Goalie
Granlund (MIN) – $4200 Parise (MIN) – $8000 Suter (MIN) – $4200 Bobrovsky (CBJ) – $7600
Giroux (PHI) – $7300 Pominville (MIN) – $8000 Klingberg (DAL) – $3900 Bishop (TBL) – $8300
Schenn (PHI) – $3600 Voracek (PHI) – $5500 Johnson (CBJ) – $4300
Seguin (DAL) – $8800 Benn (DAL) – $7600 Sekera (LAK) – $3300
Eakin (DAL) – $4500 Atkinson (CBJ) – $4300
Johansen (CBJ) – $6100 Gaborik (LAK) – $5100
Kopitar (LAK) – $5400 King (LAK) – $2500

 

  • I think Dallas/Philadelphia is the highest scoring game of the night, hopefully making both sides stackable.
  • Going against Cory Schneider is always a bit scary, but Minnesota (and particularly their top line) are otherwise in a good spot tonight.
  • With Atkinson playing on Johansen’s line, I do like that duo as a mini-stack.
  • I don’t mind the Kopitar line especially with Calvin Pickard in net, though them having split up their power play units is a bit annoying.

Slim’s Pickins (bargain plays)

Curtis Lazar (OTT-C, $2800) – If Ottawa does damage against the Bruins, I would think it’s the lines that don’t face Bergeron’s line tonight. Also, there are no good bargain centers tonight.

Dwight King (LAK-W, $2500) – Playing even strength on the Kopitar line.

Nick Holden (COL-D, $2900) – Still playing the power play for Colorado.

Good luck!
