Welcome to NHL DFS Man Advantage for Saturday night November 24! Tonight is a strange night in that we have 10 games following 15 games on the previous night so needless to say there is a plethora of teams on back to backs. 

With so many teams on back to backs there are going to be a few back up goalies in net tonight. Because of this I will be giving you the NHL DFS games I feel like are the best opportunities to find your goalie. I will still do the typical best individual players and line stacks as well.

NHL DFS Goalies:

If Frederik Andersen ($8.5K) starts against the Flyers he is my top pick in net for the night. Since this is the second of a back to back you may see Garret Sparks ($8.4K) get the starting nod and I am still ok with using him against the Flyers. In his last start Sparks stopped 38 of 39 shots in a Leafs victory.

Connor Hellebuyck ($8.2K) against the Blues tonight is another good option, but same as with Toronto, it is possible Laurent Brossoit starts the second of the back to back. Either way I am ok with starting who ever it is in between the pipes for the Jets. I know the Blues had a scoring outburst on Friday night, but that is not the norm for them and I don’t see another game like that tonight.

Other options for top priced goalies: Who ever starts for Buffalo, and Colorado. Carey Price for Montreal against Boston

Much like Friday night my best inexpensive option is Casey DeSmith ($7K). Since he didn’t start Friday I am pretty sure he will start against the Blue Jackets on Saturday.

NHL DFS Top Individual Plays:

High Tier:

Patrick Kane ($7.4K) – Kane has not played great of late, at least not Patrick Kane great, but with a game against the Panthers tonight is good spot for him to get going. Kane and the Hawks will be on the road in Fla against a Panther team without Roberto Loungo after he seemed to re-injure his MCL Friday night.

More from FanSided

Phil Kessel (6.9K) – Kessel is smoking hot right now as he enters the night with a 7 game point streak scoring 3 times and assisting on 7 Pens goals. He is now playing with Evgeni Malkin and Tanner Pearson on the Penguins second line.

Mitch Marner ($6.7K) – Over his last 6 games Marner has netted 1 goal and 7 assists. There is a chance he gets to face off against Alex Lyon for the Flyers who allowed 4 goals on 12 shots in his only other start on the season.

Mid Tier:

Sean Couturier ($5.8K) – Couturier is finally heating up picking 3 goals and 3 assists in the Flyers last three games. I am not sure how much exposure I will have to the Flyers, but I will definitely be starting it with Couturier.

Teuvo Teravainen ($5.7K) – Teravainen has 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 5 games while only seeing around 16 minutes of ice team per game. Playing with Sebastian Aho and Michael Ferland on the Canes first line makes this a good stack or mini stack against the Isles.

Zach Werenski ($4.9K) Over his last 10 games Werenski has 2 goals and 3 assists to go along with his 19 shots on goal and 11 blocked shots. Werenski may be on the 3rd D pair but he is playing over 19 mins a game and on the first PP line as well

Value Tier:

Andrew Shaw ($4.5K) – Andrew Shaw has been a very valuable piece to Montreal this season especially since they did not expect the production from him that they’ve gotten thus far this season. Over the last ten games Shaw has 9 points ( 5 goals 4 assists)

Reilly Smith ($4.3K) – Smith plays on the Knights first line with William Karlsson and Jonathan Marchessault which is one the top 5 combos with the most minutes played together per game in the league. Smith has 1 goal and 5 assists on 21 shots on goal over the last 10.

Rasmus Dahlin ($4.1K) It took some adjusting by the highly touted #1 overall pick this past June has finally started heating up. With 1 goal and 4 assists in his last 5 games he is starting to be a key contributor in the Sabres 8 game win streak

NHL DFS Top Line Stacks:

Columbus 1 – Artemi Panarin – Pierre-Luc Dubois – Cam Atkinson: Atkinson is one of the hottest players in the league and this line seems to be in on the majority of Columbus’ goals come from them

Buffalo 1 – Jason Pominville – Jack Eichel – Jeff Skinner : Skinner got the OT game winner on Friday. This has been Buffalo’s best line during their 8 game win streak

Toronto 2 – Kasperi Kapanen – Nazim Kadri – Patrick Marleau: This is the cheaper of the top two Leaf lines and makes the most sense to use on a night so many top lines in action. Also Marleau and Kadri play on the first PP unit with the aforementioned Mitch Marner.

Winnipeg 2 – Patrik Laine – Bryan Little – Kyle Connor: Like Toronto above this is a line to use for a little bit of savings. I love all of the Jets tonight, especially line 1, but line 2 is where I will focus my exposure in GPP’s to differentiate my lineups.
