FanDuel NHL DFS Picks – October 16th
The FanDuel NHL DFS Picks of last night missed GPPs by the slightest margin, though I used the very same lineups in double-ups and was able to get into the money in people.
Our three-man Maple Leafs pile got manufacturing since Auston Matthews and Andreas Johnsson both scored goals and mixed with six shots on goal. William Nylander failed to get to the scoresheet for the second consecutive game but he was still a factor together with five shots on target. Not utilizing Morgan Rielly in the heap hurt because he listed four assists on the night.
Our Canucks heap also obtained notable donations from two associates and at ownership that was less than I anticipated. Both Elias Pettersson and Brock Boeser arrived at below 9% possessed and both delivered results in a 5-1 win. Pettersson led the way with a goal, two assists, three shots and also a pair of power play assists. Boeser notched three assists, including two on the power play, with just two shots on goal. Quinn Hughes recorded just one shot on goal.
The rest of the pile was a disappointment because the Flyers scored Ivan Provorov or Oskar Lindblom and just one goal were included.
Last, the disappointment lasted when Connor Hellebuyck allowed four goals on 35 shots in a 4-2 loss.
Let us look for a set on the slate of tonight, although it was a lineup!
C — Nicklas Backstrom (WAS) — $6,100 vs. TOR
Toronto Maple Leafs and Even the Washington Capitals get together tonight for what should be an entertaining hockey game the Capitals would seem to have the upper hand going into this particular one. While Washington has been Monday, the Maple Leafs played only last night, winning a 4-2 decision. Because of this, the Capitals not only get to face a questionable Maple Leafs defense on their second game in as many nights, but also get to prevent Frederik Andersen and rather face backup Michael Hutchinson who allowed five goals in his only start to the season to the point. As a result, I think that the Capitals boys can exploit the Maple Leafs in this one and I intend to load their line as a result. As he has notched a goal and four helpers to go along with 17 shots on goal too backstrom is once again enjoying a season. He appears far older than 31 given his longevity in the league backstrom looks and has tallied at least 70 points on his way to doing this time . Together with 20:21 of ice time on top power play unit and the team loine, he is a lock for my lineup .
C — Alexander Kerfoot (TOR) — $4,600 vs. WAS
The Maple Leafs might be in some problem on the end tonight, but theres been nothing much wrong as they enter one averaging four goals per game. The group has received contributions from up and down their lineup, including the third line that will find a tiny new-look for this 1 tonight. As hes tallied two goals and two assists through seven games to go along with 10 shots on goal, kerfoot has appreciated a genuine start to his Maple Leafs tenure on crime. That number also comes with a ice time per game, although he is averaging 14:34 of ice time daily. Kerfoot skates on the teams next unit, nonetheless Mike Babcock has deployed his second unit considerably more this year than it years past as Kerfoots 2:34 of power play time per game sits just under the 2:52 John Tavares averages on the top group. Nonetheless, I enjoy Kerfoot in GPPs tonight because the Maple Leafs take on rookie goaltender Ilya Samsonov whos off to a great start with a .944 Sv% through three appearances this season, but his 2 starts came against the Stars and Islanders, making tonight the very first true test for the 22-year-old netminder tonight.
W — Alexander Ovechkin (WAS) — $8,700 vs. TOR
Of course, I am not about to roll up Backstrom rather than Ovechkin since the duo have been reunited on top line together after Evgeny Kuznetsov has skated with Ovechkin occasionally during the previous couple of seasons. Ovechkins 51 goals from last year earned him yet another Rocket Richard Trophy plus he appears intent on winning the leagues goal-scoring race this season as hes devoting five goals and seven points from as many matches this season. Ovechkin has already put 30 pucks on goal (4.3 per game), after firing a whopping 338 shots on goal last year, the sixth consecutive season in which he is recorded at least 313 shots on target. Of course, many clubs has terrorized during a historic NHL career, but hes given treatment into the Maple Leafs. Hes played in 48 career games against Toronto, and also the sniper has tallied 39 goals and 68 points. Its definitely the most goals hes against any opponent hes played from his profession. He likes to feast on the Maple Leafs, and he is surely enthusiastic about confronting the Maple Leafs backup goaltender in this 1 tonight.
W — T.J. Oshie (WAS) — $6,400 vs. TOR
Completing our Capitals stack tonight is Oshie who is off to a genuine start himself this season. Oshie has never put up gaudy goal totals in his NHL career as he has had trouble staying fit while the 33 goals he scored in his second season with the Capitals are by far a career-high, however the 25 he scored last season are the third-most he is recorded in a single season. He seems on his way to notching a fresh career-high this year as Oshie has tallied four goals in seven games, albeit on just 13 shots and a enormous 30.8% shooting percentage — obviously an unspecified amount. Oshie is not likely to be a high shot total sort of player as hes never approached 200 shots in one season and recorded just 143 throughout his 69 games last season, or 2.1 per match. He is more of a quick-strike option for the Capitals, particularly on the power play where hes scored one of his goals that year and 57 of his 216 career NHL objectives. Hes skating on line together with Ovechkin and Backstrom and on top power play unit, therefore lets search to stay hot in that role tonight.
W — Kasperi Kapanen (TOR) — $4,200 vs. WAS
I noted that theres a shift in the third lineup for the Maple Leafs, which alter revolved around Kapanen. Following a failed six matches plus a period stint on a lineup with John Tavares along with Mitch Marner, Kapanen switched positions with teammate Trevor Moore and will now skate on the third lineup alongside Kerfoot for this 1 tonight. The change of scenery has been required for both team and player as Kapanen can once again regain his position as a speedster right down the perfect side of the ice instead of a grinder tasked with catching pucks and getting them into Tavares and Marner to create plays with. I suggest, Kapanen is a good offensive player who notched 20 goals and 44 points since a 22-year-old in his first full year in the NHL this past year. The fantastic news for this stack is that Kapanen will even skate with Kerfoot on the groups second power play unit at which he has averaged a real healthy 2:31 this year, just 3 ticks beneath his new centre and now considerably lower than the Maple Leafs big boys. I believe well get Kapanen at low ownership tonight with him off the top line, but I feel that the new placement will give him the offensive leap he needed to get back on track.
W — Rickard Rakell (ANH) — $5,700 vs. BUF
A few the teams most surprising teams get together tonight in Anaheim since the 4-2-0 Ducks carry on the 5-0-1 Sabres in the Honda Center at Orange County. This game also includes a couple of the leagues top defenses so far this year as the Ducks position first however, also the Sabres rank fifth whilst allowing just 2.17 goals per game during the first six matches of the year. While the Ducks have scuffled on offense with only 2.17 goals per match themselves, I believe they can get to Buffalo in this 1 tonight because the Sabres goals against figures have nowhere to go but up. I know their blueline was strengthened by them at the summertime, however this is a lot of the identical team that ranked 25th in defense last year. Additionally, it is worth mentioning Buffalo ranks 21st with a 76.5percent markers on the penalty kill, and therefore Rakell has yet another route to get things finished tonight. Hes off to a solid start this year with 2 goals and an aid through six matches, but hes also averaging just short of four shots each match with 23 shots in that time also. His tiny 8.7% shooting percentage will tendency towards his 12.6% livelihood markers moving ahead and I am quite confident he can get on board from a Sabres defense due for regression tonight.
D — Tyson Barrie (TOR) — $5,800 vs. WAS
Completing our three-man Maple Leafs heap is Barrie who plays second fiddle to Morgan Rielly about the Maple Leafs power play, hence this becomes three-man next power play device stack involving himself, Kerfoot and Kapanen. Barrie is logging 2:16 of ice time around the Maple Leafs power play this year while one of his four assists on the year have come on that power play also. While he is with no goal, Im anticipating his first mark because a Maple Leafs to be on it imminently. I mean, we are talking about a man who scored 14 goals only last year in 78 games, and 12 of those goals came at even-strength with just two coming to the Avalanches star-studded power play from last year. Barrie has gone 17 shots without a goal in his short Maple Leafs tenure to this stage, and after scoring 14 goals on 218 shots a season past, Barrie scored once every 15.6 shots with the Avs past year. Hes scored between 12-14 targets in five of the last six seasons and owns a 6.9% shooting percentage for his career, a major number for a defenseman. His first objective is coming soon, and itd be wonderful if it may be a power play strike by Kerfoot and Kapanen in on the action as well.
D — Cam Fowler (ANH) — $4,800 vs. BUF
Completing our Ducks mini-stack is Fowler who, unlike his team, is off to a strong crime time, something that he could use following an injury-plagued year a season ago. After tallying 40 points from his 76-game newcomer year way back in 2010-11, Fowler has not reached that point total since and has had trouble staying healthy also. He recorded a strong 23 points in 59 games a season ago, and hes got just two goals and 3 points through six games with 10 shots as well. Fowler is not likely to wow you with his shooter totals as hes got a career-high of 186 from the 2016-17 year and had just 88 in his 59-game effort from a season ago (1.5 per game), but he stays the Ducks lone defenseman on their high power play unit, forming a mini-stack together with Rakell in this department too. Naturally, I want to find the Ducks power play a little better than the 0-for-14 theyve posted early in this season, linking the Devils and Senators because the only teams without a power play goal this season. Obviously, that amount is due for notable regression, even if the Ducks power play is not a powerful one this season. I have high hopes for this duo who must return to us in reasonable ownership tonight.
G — John Gibson (ANH) — $8,500 vs. BUF
Completing this lineup is Gibson that I think is the leagues most underrated netminder. I meanhe could very well be the best goaltender in the NHL right now as he owns a 1.82 GAA and .941 Svpercent through five starts on the year. The reality is, he has been one of the top goaltenders in the NHL in his eponymous career as he has submitted a 2.41 GAA and .922 Svpercent because of his career to this point. The problem is very likely to due to playing the west shore combined with playing a poor Ducks team at the moment, although they have flipt that script at the previous going. I like the fact that Gibson has allowed just two goals and owns a .971 Sv. Hes been excellent throughout his NHL career, submitting a 2.27 GAA and .926 Svpercent over 129 games played in the Honda Center. Yes, the Sabres input this one tongiht tied to fourth together with the Maple Leafs with four goals each game this season, however that number is expected for some regression as they are truly one of those thinner offenses from the NHL. The line is currently doing the overwhelming bulk of the harm and they do not have a lot of length supporting them. The Ducks are -130 favorites around the moneyline tonight and that I indeed think they will get the success behind another good performance from Gibson.
