NHL DFS: 10/22/22
We have a 9-game slate tonight but surprisingly only a few places to target. I like the LA Kings and Buffalo Sabres as underdogs tonight. They are inexpensive and score a lot of goals. Steven Stamkos has scored a goal in every game this year. This streak has to end, but I will find a way to squeeze him into a lineup until it does. The same goes for Andrei Svechnikov who is averaging 26 DK Points a game. Tristan Jarry is your best bet at goalie. He has been playing well and the LA Kings lead the league in shots on goal.

Top Teams to Target
Pittsburgh Penguins – The red-hot Pens head to Columbus where the Blue Jackets are giving up an average of 4 goals a game.
Washington Capitals – The LA Kings have a very good offense but they have no defense. They lead the league in Shots Allowed and Goals Against. Look for the Caps to take advantage.
Vegas Golden Knights – Colorado starts a 20-day road trip in Las Vegas. The Avs are struggling. They only have the top line and if they don’t score it will sink your entry. Vegas has been one of the toughest defenses to start the year with the best young goalie. Look for them to shut down the top line and win this game.
Buffalo Sabres – Vancouver is giving up over 4 goals a game while Buffalo is scoring over 4 goals a game. I really don’t see where the Vegas odds are coming from for this game. Buffalo should dominate.
