NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, April 6
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
Moneyball16: Auston Matthews – Montreal is a great matchup, as they are a bad team that takes a lot of penalties. The Leafs have the highest total on the slate, and Matthews is a great player who is playing at the top of his game. He is shooting the puck a lot, gunning for 70 goals this season, and the chemistry he has shown with Domi and Bertuzzi has been top notch.
TastefulTides: Auston Matthews – He has put up over 20 DK points in 8 straight games and has goals in 3 straight. This is a fantastic matchup against Montreal. We should see the Leafs have plenty of offensive zone time, which should result in plenty of shot attempts for Matthews. Montreal also has a bottom-10 penalty kill, which only adds to the floor/ceiling combination of Matthews.
Joda: Auston Matthews – It has been a season of epic proportions for Matthews, who has 63 goals. His shot volume gives him a strong floor, and he seems to score in every game. Matthews had a hat trick earlier this season against Montreal. The Canadiens will also be without one of their better defenders, Kaiden Guhle. Arber Xhekaj is also out.
