Welcome to NHL DFS Man Advantage for Tuesday December 4th! Tonight we are back with a big 10 game slate, including a Stanley Cup rematch when the Caps visit the Golden Knights. We also get a rematch of the Penguins and Avalanche from last Wednesday when they put up 9 goals. 

With as many NHL DFS games as we have tonight we will have plenty of top players to choose from, especially with 11 players priced at $7,000 or higher. We also have 6 games currently at 6 or more projected goal totals.

NHL DFS Goalies

With there being so man games with high projected goal totals we will have to be careful about who we use in net and try to find the right situations. Looking over the slate Devan Dubnyk ($8K)seems to be the best choice in net in a matchup with the Canucks who com in losing 12 of 14. Even though Dubnyk hasn’t won a game since 11/15 he still boasts a 2.72 GAA and a .909 SV%.

Both Antti Raanta ($7.8K) and Jonathan Quick ($7.3K) are playable options tonight in a matchup with each other. Neither team has been an offensive juggernaut on the season but if I had to pick one I prefer Raanta over Quick since Los Angeles is having a very difficult time scoring with only 7 goals in their last 4 games. If Raanta cannot go because of a lower body injury than Adin Hill ($7.6K) makes for a good play as well. Hill has won 3 straight starts allowing only 4 goals.

If Louis Domingue ($8K) starts for Tampa than he makes a good option against the Red Wings. Also Carey Price ($8.2) and whoever ends up in for Winnipeg against the Islanders.

NHL DFS Top Line Stacks

Colorado 1 / Pittsburgh 1 : This game has the potential to be the highest scoring on the slate with two high power offenses.

Buffalo 1 – Jeff Skinner – Jack Eichel – Sam Reinhart 

Toronto 1 or 2 : Both of the top lines mix and play on the PP units together so you can mix and match these two.

Vegas Golden Knights 1 : Jonathan Marchesault-  William Karlsson – Reilly Sith: Only Colorado 1 plays more minutes together than this trio

Florida 2 : Evgeny Dadonov – Jared McCann – Frank Vatrano
