DFS Fantasy Hockey Advice: Defensemen to Start

John Carlson (WSH) @ CGY

Carlson is by far the hottest defenseman in the NHL this season. Since the start of the 2019-20 campaign, he has produced a point in all but one game that he has played in. He has also had six multi-point games in this span and possesses a plus-six rating on the year.

The Calgary Flames are a middling offense and have not been as electric as some thought they would be considering the amount of firepower the team has in their artillery. With Carlson’s strong start on both the offensive and defensive sides of the puck, he’s a lock to start in fantasy lineups until further notice.

Brian Dumoulin (PIT) @ FLA

If you are looking for a solid defenseman to start up Tuesday night, then Dumoulin is your man. He may not be the flashiest defenseman in terms of offensive production, but he makes up for it with his ability to shut defenses down.

Over the course of his last four games played, Dumoulin has maintained a plus-eight rating which is second to Ian Cole. The Florida Panthers have been average at best in terms of scoring production this year, so Dumoulin could very well once again have a fairly strong outing on the rink for the Pens.

Alexander Edler (VAN) @ DET

While Edler’s plus/minus rating may not be the most spectacular so far this season (-1), he still has shown he can contribute to Vancouver’s offense often. The Red Wings are still a young inexperienced team with a lot of holes to fill.

With that being said, Edler stands to have a good chance of performing at a high-level Tuesday evening on the road in Detroit. He should be a solid option on the back-end of your lineups tonight if you have him on your roster.
