Only two games on the slate today for our DFS Hockey preview. As mentioned the other day, I’ll be reviewing what I picked in the last post, where I was right, where I was wrong, and where we got a little unlucky. That plays into our overall strategy for future contests as well. I missed yesterday’s 7 game slate due to travel. It’s a long season, I can’t get to them all!
As a reminder, be sure to check out my primer on how to win big at DFS hockey. And as always, please bet and play responsibly. I won’t be putting that many words in each of these going forward, just the guys that caught my eye and why.

Reviewing Wednesday’s picks
Goalies:
- Cam Talbot: 8.4 DK points. Fine process, just not the result. I’ll take the L here.
- Connor Hellebuyck: -2.1 points. Yikes.
Stacks:
- Pettersson-Kuzmenko-Garland: 57.8 DraftKings points, an absolute smash.
- In DFS hockey, even 1 guy can carry a line.
- RNH-Draisaitl-Hyman: Edmonton got crushed. Good process, bad result.
- Zacha-Pastrnak: 27.5 points: Pastrnak was fine, Zacha was a miss.
- Toronto’s Big 4: They did what we expected them to do. You could have stacked or island-played them and it worked.
- Bunting-Aho-Jarvis: 35.5 points: Aho was the disappointment here.
Defense:
- Matt Roy: 12.7 points for $3k – smash
- Seth Jones: 8.2 points – fine, not great, but fine
- Evan Bouchard: 18.1 points – smash
My lineups had all of the stacks and defensemen, just whiffed on the goalies. It happens.
Today’s Goalies
- Akira Schmid ($7.9k) – Don’t overthink it. He’s cheap and the chalk. This is good chalk.
- Tristan Jarry ($7.8k) – If you want to be contrarian, Jarry is fine. Favored, the Caps shoot a bunch, but their powerplay might be a problem.
Top Stacks
- Jack Hughes/Tyler Toffoli/Jesper Bratt ($20k): Arizona is bad. This is the Devils best offensive line and PP2.
- A lot of people will be on this one. Nico Hischier/Timo Meier/Dawson Mercer ($17.4k) is fine too.
- Alex Ovechkin/Nik Backstrom/Evgeny Kuznetsov ($15.5k): Caps PP1 is still lethal, and the Penguins aren’t good defensively.
Defense
- JJ Moser ($3.2k) – Top pair, PP2 usage. Devils shoot a lot, should get the blocked shots bonus.
