NHL DFS: 1-4-23

Tonight we have a massive 13 game main slate. If you have read our articles you know these are difficult to play and I like to find just a few games to focus on It is too easy to try and play everyone, and that is a losing proposition. There is also a really nice 4-game Late Slate tonight that starts at 10pm. If you are interested in this slate I will be available in Discord.

The heavy favorites tonight are the New York Rangers (-470)  playing Chicago at home, The LA Kings (-185) with the Red Wings coming to town, and Winnipeg (-265)  heading to San Jose.

We have 5 games with a high goal total of 6.5+:

Buffalo at Montreal
Columbus at Philadelphia
Vancouver at St Louis
Ottawa at Seattle
Detroit at LA

These lists are a great starting place for identifying potential lines. Detroit and LA appear in both lists, which is a great place to start. Detroit is a high-scoring team with very little defense, so it makes sense that this game is at the top.

Good luck and join me in Discord!

Christian Kirk expected to make season debut in Week 3
WR missed first two games with hamstring injury #Texans HC DeMeco Ryans on Christian Kirk and Braxton Berrios: 'Progressing very well, expect to get those guys back this week' (KPRC - Aaron Wilson) FF Today's Take: Kirk was supposedly having a very strong offseason before suffering his injury, so this should be a boost to the offense. He is one of the few receivers on the roster who has proven capable of getting open quickly against NFL corners as well, so his return could be part of what helps this offense get on track. The Texans are averaging 14 points and have yet to see a pass-catcher top 52 yards receiving.

Aaron Jones lands on injured reserve
Week 2 hamstring injury puts Jordan Mason in the spotlight The Vikings are placing starting RB Aaron Jones on Injured Reserve, knocking him out four games, per me and @TomPelissero. He has a hamstring injury. Jordan Mason now becomes RB1. Cam Akers is signing to the practice squad. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport) FF Today's Take: Jones will not be eligible to return until Week 8 because of Minnesota's Week 6 bye. While Akers will almost certainly find his way into a few carries, the Vikings traded for Mason this offseason with an eye on him complementing Jones for as long as the 30-year-old could stay healthy and featuring him if he was unable to avoid injury. Minnesota's offense is in a world of hurt right now, but it seems quite likely that the Vikings will lean heavily on the run with Carson Wentz replacing J.J. McCarthy (ankle) for at least the next couple of weeks.
