DraftKings NHL Picks: January 12th Daily Top Plays
DraftKings NHL Picks: January 12th
Tonight’s slate features nine games, with Tampa Bay (3.1), Pittsburgh (3) , Dallas (3), Philadelphia (2.9), and Edmonton (2.9) holding the best projected team totals. I’ll be targeting players from these teams in cash games. Here are my DraftKings NHL picks.
VAN vs. PHI (-180), O/U: 5
PIT (-150) vs. OTT, O/U: 5.5
BUF vs. TB (-160), O/U: 5.5
MTL vs. MIN (-149), O/U: 5
BOS (-120) vs. NAS, O/U: 5
DET vs. DAL (-145), O/U: 5.5
NJD vs. EDM (-185), O/U: 5
ANA (-165) vs. COL, O/U: 5
STL vs. LA (-145), O/U: 5
DraftKings NHL Picks:
Evander Kane – BUF (W) – $5000
Evander Kane put up a huge night for us in his last outing on Tuesday. Even with the the difficult matchup, on the road, against Tampa Bay tonight, Kane is a terrific option that provides safety in his shot volume and time on the ice. This will be Ben Bishop‘s first game back and while Tampa Bay is still project to win the game, there is always an increased risk factor when coming back from an injury.

Patrice Bergeron – BOS (C) – $6100
Like Kane, Patrice Bergeron is almost always in play due to his time on the ice and his shot floor. Bergeron has seen an increase in both of late. In the last month, he’s averaging 20.44 minutes per game, in addition to an astounding, 4.47 shots on goal per game. This type of floor is is extremely valuable and his price does not truly reflect that.
Anton Stralman – TB (D) – $3700
Tampa Bay is currently a -160 favorite, and Anton Stralman is an excellent punt option tonight. Stralman will be part of the second defensive pairing as well as playing with the second power play unit. In the last month, he’s seen an increase in shots on goal, blocks, and time on the ice. Given the matchup and the price, Stralman should be considered in all formats.
Cody Eakin – DAL (W) – $3900
Cody Eakin is one of my favorite values play tonight. Dallas has an enticing team total of 3 goals and Eakin should be able to take advantage of that. Eakin is slated to skate with the second line and also receive time on the top power play unit. Since returning to the lineup early this month, he’s played over 18 minutes per game in each contest. I’ll be locking Eakin in, at this price, given his time on the ice.
Good luck!
