NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, January 6
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
Moneyball16: Connor McDavid – At home vs. Ottawa is a strong matchup, with them having bad goaltending and allowing lots of power-play goals. On top of that, the top line for Edmonton has been the best line in hockey, and McDavid remains the NHL’s best player.
TastefulTides: Connor McDavid – There are plenty of options on this loaded slate, but I am going to continue to attack this terrible Senators’ penalty kill with one of the best power plays in the NHL. Edmonton playing at home is already a huge advantage at 5v5, and then you add in the special teams advantage, and I think Ottawa is going to be in for a tough night.
Joda: Connor McDavid – The Hart race is back on, as McDavid has been electric since a nagging injury slowed him down for weeks. The Senators’ goaltending is nonexistant, and they take too many penalties for their own good. A multi-point night is almost automatic for McDavid at this point, and it would not be a shocker to see another ceiling performance.
