NHL DFS Goalies:

With 12 games there are a good amount of top goaltenders to use tonight and with all the big names, like Marc-Andre Fleury ($8,200) and Connor Hellebuyck ($8,100) who are both great choices tonight, I am going with the Blues rookie, Jordan Binnington ($7,900) as my top goalie tonight. In 3 homes starts Binnigton is 3-0-0 with a stellar GAA of 2.18 and a .922 SV%. New Jersey comes into St. Louis losers of 3 of their last 4 and only scoring 7 goals in those 4 games.

My second choice in net is Frederik Andersen ($8,000) in Colorado. While everyone is focusing on the Ducks and how bad they’ve been, they seemed to have forgotten that Colorado has lost 21 of their last 26 games and haven’t won a home game since January 19th. Andersen hasn’t lost in regulation since January 20th and has only allowed 14 goals in the 5 games since that loss.

My GPP goalie for the night is Anthony Stolarz ($7,500) in a road game against a Minnesota team that has lost 5 of 6 and has only scored 14 goals in those 6 games.

NHL DFS Top Forwards:

Top Tier:

Patrice Bergeron ($7,700) – Bergeron is on fire right now with points in 8 of his last 9 games totaling 6 goals and 6 assists. Home is where Bergeron plays his best hockey this season as well with 37 points in 23 games this season and only 14 points in 17 road games. I love the Bruins top line as a stack tonight as well with Brad Marchand and Danton Heinen joining Bergeron.

John Tavares ($6,900) – Tavares had his 3 games multi point streak stopped on Sunday and will look to get a new streak started on Tuesday night. I also like Toronto 1 as a good stack tonight with Mitch Marner and the suddenly hot Zach Hyman. 

Vladimir Tarasenko ($6,700) – Tarasenko is coming of a 15 fantasy point game in which he scored a hat trick against Nashville. While Tarasenko probably won’t score another hat trick, there is a great chance he will keep his hot streak going against the Devils tonight.  Tarasenko is riding an 8 game point streak during which he has 7 goals and 5 assists.

Mid Tier:

Matt Duchene ($6,300) – Duchene is currently on a small 3 game point streak during which he has back to back multi point games and in total has 4 goals and an assist. In 2 games against Carolina this season, Duchene has 1 goal and an assist and a 4.3 FPPG average.

Ryan Johansen ($5,700) – Coming into tonight’s game against Detroit, Johansen is on a 4 game point streak, 2 goals and a 4 assists, and did net a goal last game against the Wings and picked up 5.5 fantasy points in that game. Pairing Johansen with linemate Filip Forsberg and Viktor Arvidsson. 

Frank Vatrano ($5,200) – Vatrano enters tonight’s game with 3 goals and an assist in his last 5 games. Vatrano plays on the Panthers 2nd line now after a short stint on the top line. You can also use Vatrano on a PP stack since he plays on the teams 2nd unit.

Value Tier:

Boone Jenner ($4,400) – Coming into Tuesday night Jenner is riding a 3 game point streak during which he has 2 multi point games. Even though he doesn’t play on the Jackets PP Jenner is seeing near 20 minutes a game.

James Neal ($3,600) – Neal has 7 points in his last 10 games for the Flames, which is a big turn around from his previous 43 games this season during which he only totaled 8 points. Right now is the time to use Neal before he goes back into his pointless skid.

Jesper Bratt ($3,200) – Bratt has a goal and 3 assists during his current 4 game point streak. Even though I am the big fan of Binnington tonight, I don’t think he’ll come up with a shutout tonight and hopefully Bratt can pot one in behind him tonight.
