NHL DFS Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday, November 18

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

Moneyball16: David Pastrnak – He is the top projected scorer on the slate, having a great season, with a strong matchup vs Montreal. Montreal is a bad team that takes a lot of penalties. Also Pasta has full powerplay correlation with his even strength line.

TastefulTides: David Pastrnak – The price on Alex Ovechkin is very appealing on both sites, but I am going to stick with Pasta on home ice against a below average defensive team. He averages over four shots on goal per game and is a threat for the three point bonus every time he touches the ice. He and his linemates are in a fantastic spot to put up huge fantasy points.

Joda: David Pastrnak – Montreal edged Boston a week ago, but back on home ice, Boston should be able to dictate play. Pastrnak and the Bruins should find success with the man-advantage against a Canadiens team that continues to take far too many penalties for their own good. I expect 5+ SOG and a multi-point effort from “Pasta.”
