NHL DFS 10-18-24

We’ve started the season on fire, especially last night with our recommendation of the New York Rangers’ second line, which exploded for 4 goals, 2 assists, and a hat trick. Let’s aim to keep that momentum going today on a small 3-game slate.

Tonight, we have two heavy favorites in Colorado and Winnipeg. While they’ll be highly popular, I’m particularly high on the Jets to rack up goals. I’ll be focusing on stacking their top power-play (PP1) unit and mixing in players from other teams for variety.

Favorite Stacks:

  • WPG: Kyle Connor – Mark Scheifele – Josh Morrissey
  • CAR: Andrei Svechnikov – Sebastian Aho – Seth Jarvis
  • COL: Nathan MacKinnon – Cale Makar

Additional Players:

Goaltenders:

  • Connor Hellebuyck (WPG)
  • Frederik Andersen (CAR)
  • Joel Blomqvist (PIT)

Defense:

  • Shayne Gostisbehere (CAR)
  • Jake Walman (SJS)
  • Josh Manson (COL)
  • Jaccob Slavin (CAR)
  • Erik Karlsson (PIT)

Wingers:

  • Mikko Rantanen (COL)
  • Martin Necas (CAR)
  • Bryan Rust (PIT)
  • Nikolaj Ehlers (WPG)
  • Troy Terry (ANA)
  • Fabian Zetterlund (SJS)

Centers:

  • Sidney Crosby (PIT)
  • Casey Mittelstadt (COL)
  • Evgeni Malkin (PIT)
  • Mikael Granlund (SJS)
  • Mason McTavish (ANA)
