NHL DFS: 12/6/22

We have a 9-game slate tonight with smash spots for Pittsburgh and New Jersey. In fact, I love a Columbus/Pittsburgh game stack!

For up-to-the-minute news and advice, join our premium Discord.

Top Teams to Target

Pittsburgh Penguins (Implied Goals 3.8) – Columbus is allowing 4 goals per game, the 2nd most in the NHL. Pittsburgh is scoring at a 3.5 goals per game clip but they allow the 4th most shots on goal per game.  This should be a high scoring game.

New Jersey Devils (Implied Goals 3.59) – The Devils are home against the Chicago Blackhawks, one of the worst teams in the league.  They have been playing tough but NJ should easily handle them at home

Ottawa Senators (Implied Goals 3.65) – Ottawa has a great matchup against an LA Kings team who is allowing 4.5 goals a game over their last 8.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Implied Goals 3.0) – I added Columbus because I believe their game with Pittsburgh will be the highest-scoring of the night. Columbus will give you some options to fill in your lineups and is a great game stack with Pit.
