NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, March 23
Who is your top overall play (when considering price, matchup, roster construction, etc.) on the board and why?
Moneyball16: Timo Meier – He has a great matchup and correlates well with other strong plays tonight, and Timo Meier looks like Timo Meier again after struggling for his first year with the Devils. He’s getting a ton of shots and is scoring points. Without Toffoli, his role on the wing and on the power play is much more secure.
TastefulTides: Jack Hughes – His price on DK is $1,000 too cheap in my opinion, and he is still wing eligible, so you don’t have to fill a center spot to use him. The matchup is incredibly advantageous. The Senators give up the 3rd-most goals against per game. They also have the 2nd-worst penalty kill in the whole league. Hughes on home ice is my top overall spend-up option, even with the likes of Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid on the slate.
Joda: Timo Meier – Meier has been magnificent in March, with 11 goals in 11 games while averaging 4.5+ SOG per game. In a game where a 6-5 scoreline would not surprise me for either team, Meier’s mid-tier price tag is a building block in all formats. Look for him to stay hot.
