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.
