NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Friday, January 26

Who is your favorite contrarian play (when considering price, matchup, projected ownership, etc.) on the board and why?

TastefulTides: Sidney Crosby – There is no denying how bad the Penguins have been this season. The one bright spot for the Penguins has been Crosby. He is still over a point-per-game player and has 5 goals in his last 5 games. There are better projected players to spend up on this evening so I don’t think he will be over-owned.

boggslite: Kevin Fiala – With much of the focus likely on MacKinnon and the Avs tonight, consider taking Fiala on the flip side of this game, who skates on the Kings’ “shutdown” line and will likely avoid Colorado’s top line playing on the road. Also featured on the Kings’ top power-play unit, Fiala will likely be leaned on offense tonight in a game where plenty of scoring chances will likely be exchanged.
