Tonight’s slate features five games, with Nashville (3.5), Boston (3.1), San Jose (3), and Toronto (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.

BOS (-120) vs. TOR. O/U: 6

ARI vs. NAS (-270), O/U: 5.5

SJ (-150) vs. DAL, O/U: 5.5

Roman Josi – NAS (D) – $6300

It should be no surprise to see Roman Josi on the list today. Josi continues to exceed value in nearly every game, and provides both the floor, and ceiling, needed in both cash games and tournaments. Nashville has a significantly higher projected team total, of 3.5 goals. Given that Josi is playing over 25 minutes per game and on the top powerplay unit, he should be considered.

Viktor Arvidsson – NAS (W) – $6400

Viktor Arvidsson is close to a must play tonight. Arvidsson will be playing on the top line, alongside of Forsberg and Johansen. He’ll also play on the top powerplay unit. Arvidsson’s has seen a noticeable increase in time on the ice over the past month. He’s averaging 18.42 minutes per game over the last 30 days, up almost two full minutes from his season average of 16.53 minutes.

James Neal – NAS (W) – $5100

If Nashville’s first line struggles tonight, James Neal should be in a spot to capitalize, anchoring their second line and seeing time on the first powerplay unit. Neal is a high volume shooter that has averaged 3.18 shots per game this year. Neal’s shots totals have been very consistent of late, and given the matchup, he should be a good bet to return value, for his price.

Best of luck!
