DFS NHL Picks (October 10, 2017)

Center:

Bo Horvat - Vancouver Canucks: In the Vancouver Canucks' season opening 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, Horvat scored twice, once on the power play, and had two shots on goal. He led Vancouver in points (52) last season as well.

Wingers:

Vladimir Tarasenko - St. Louis Blues: Tarasenko is coming off two goals in a 3-2 shootout win against the New York Islanders on Monday, and has three goals, one assist and seven SOG in three games.

Martin Frk - Detroit Red Wings: Frk has two goals and one assist in his first two games of the season despite averaging 11:18 of ice time.

Defensemen:

Dion Phaneuf - Ottawa Senators: The Canucks had the third-worst penalty kill (76.7 percent) in the NHL last season. Plus, Phaneuf has with two points (one goal, one assist), eight SOG and nine blocks in two games.

Kevin Shattenkirk - New York Rangers: Shattenkirk registered two points (one goal, one assist), including his 300th career NHL point, on Oct. 7 at Toronto. He has tallied three points (one goal, two assists) this season, all on the power play, and he is tied for the NHL lead in power play points in 2017-18.

Goaltender:

Brian Elliott - Philadelphia Flyers: Elliott is a perfect 2-0-0 this season, having only given up five goals on 58 shots faced in those first two games. He defeated San Jose on Oct. 4 and defeated Anaheim on Oct. 7, logging 120:17 of ice time. His SV% is at .914 on the year and his GAA is at 2.50. He is expected to start at Nashville tonight.

DFS NHL Picks (October 4, 2017)

Center:

Leon Draisaitl - Edmonton Oilers: Draisaitl had a great Stanley Cup Playoff with 16 points in 13 games after recording 77 points regular season. He had six points (three goals, three assists) in five preseason games.

Wingers:

Patrik Laine - Winnipeg Jets: Laine finished among the League leaders in preseason goals (five; tied for 1st) and points (eight; tied for 3rd). Laine's 0.49 goals-per-game average last season was tied with Auston Matthews for second among rookies since the 2005-06 season behind Alexander Ovechkin (0.64) among those with a minimum of 70 games played.

Kailer Yamamoto - Edmonton Oilers: Yamamoto had seven points (five goals, two assists) in six preseason games, but he may be a slight risk due to his lack of NHL experience. But his prices can be so cheap that it's worth the risk.

Defensemen:

Kris Letang - Pittsburgh Penguins: Letang had 34 points in 41 games last season, and he is healthy after a full offseason recovering from season-ending neck surgery. Since 2011-12, Letang has dealt with multiple injuries but has the second-best point-per-game average (0.85) among defensemen behind Erik Karlsson (0.91).

Morgan Reilly - Toronto Maple Leafs: In Toronto's short playoff run in 2017, Reilly averaged 4.3 points per game on Draft Kings. He recordex four points (one goal, three assists), one power-play goal and 11 SOG in four preseason games.

Goaltender:

Matt Murray - Pittsburgh Penguins: With veteran Marc-Andre Fleuryselected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL Expansion Draft, Murray has the starting job to himself and should begin strong at home, where he was 17-3-2 last regular season and 5-0 last postseason.
