DFS Tuesday: Great Matchups For Draisaitl, DeAngelo, Zegras, And More

Brad Hayward

There are some really good matchups tonight, at least on paper. Florida, fighting to retain relevance in the East's playoff hunt, are visiting a Toronto club that's seen both Auston Matthews and John Tavares average over a point-per-game since Christmas. The Cats might be starting Alex Lyon (per GoaliePost). The Leafs won't lose three in a row again (which they did on 0-2-2 Pacific Division road trip in October…).

The Kraken don't seem like the real thing, but they will try to prove it again in the unfriendly confines of Rogers Place in Edmonton. You'll see my opinion below, in my picks.  

But my juiciest contest for DFS points is going to be the Anaheim Ducks vs. Philadelphia Flyers!   Both these clubs are on the back end of B2B, both starting their backup goaltender, and both tired defenses will give up opportunities galore. 

Here goes:

CentersLeon Draisaitl (DraftKings $7900), Tavares ($6400).  No real explanations needed.

WingsTrevor Zegras ($5300), Owen Tippett ($4400), Klim Kostin ($3400).   Kostin has four goals in his last three games, earning trust after the move up to Connor McDavid's wing.

DefenseTony DeAngelo ($5800), Morgan Rielly ($4800). I think DeAngelo is the best defensive play on the site today, for the cost.

GoalieCraig Anderson ($8300) against the Blackhawks, and for a Buffalo team that needs to rebound from last night's loss to Florida.

Utility:  Juuso Parssinen ($3700). Nashville gets a reeling Blue Jackets team, and while CBJ may score, they are still full of holes.

Option:  I'm still not sold on Morgan Rielly as I write this, and might sub in Neal Pionk ($4500), which would give me the extra bucks to play Cole Perfetti ($3800) or Lucas Raymond ($3900) instead of Parssinen. But the Alex Lyon start for Florida is just too tempting to pass up.  

Good luck!
