NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, January 20

Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?

Moneyball16: David Pastrnak – He is a top player in the league with a great matchup at home vs. Montreal. He is easily the top projected player on the slate due to other typical top options having pretty tough matchups in away games. Pasta is coming off a hat trick and is on fire right now with points and shots.

TastefulTides: David Pastrnak – He gets an incredibly soft matchup on home ice against a Montreal team that has allowed the 6th-most goals in the NHL this season. Montreal also has a bottom-5 penalty kill, while the Bruins have a top-5 power play. Pasta will get fairly high ownership, but the matchup is very tough to pass up.

Joda: David Pastrnak – His shot volume and uncanny ability to score goals makes him the top option against Montreal’s poor penalty kill. “Pasta” has 3 goals and 9 assists in 5 games against Montreal dating back to last season.

Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
