Kyle Palmieri Daily Fantasy News, Rankings, Projections

The injury to Taylor Hall has led to more ice time and responsibilities for Jesper Bratt. Prior to the injury, Bratt was playing 12-14 minutes per night, but he's been bumped to 14-16 lately and has been on the number one line with Kyle Palmieri and Nico Hischier. While he doesn't see time on the number one power play, he does on the second unit. In his last game, he wasn't shy about putting the puck on net with 5 shots on goal. He should continue to shoot the puck in Hall's absence and makes a great value play.

It is likely that Martin Jones of the San Jose Sharks is going to be a chalky goalie tonight which would make the New Jersey Devils a solid contrarian and leverage play. Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmieri and Nico Hischier would be the go-to line to use as they are the one that will be scoring for the Devils should they get their offence going. Hall has 3 goals and 12 points over his last 10 games and has 8 goals and 31 points in 28 games this season. Martin Jones has struggled immensely with an ugly 2.91 goals against average and a .900 save percentage so there is no reason to trust him.

With the Florida Panthers — the New Jersey Devils opponent — likely garnering heavy ownership, the Devils are actually in a solid spot. Taylor Hall playing alongside Nico Hischier and Kyle Palmieri is a great line and being on the road does hurt their matchup, it's still a spot to consider. Over the last three weeks, the New Jersey Devils are putting up elite possession numbers with a 63.45 CF/60 which is second-best in the NHL. The Panthers are allowing 3.62 goals against per game this which is the second-worst mark in the league which should allow this Devils team to continue their possession dominance.

The New Jersey Devils will visit the New York Islanders who are ranked last in CF/60 (46.52) in the NHL. We know the Devil’s top line of Taylor Hall, Kyle Palmeiri and Nico Hischier have been possession monsters this season, posting a CF% of 54.39 while on the ice together. This trio has multi-goal upside again in a match up they should dominate from puck drop. Will Butcher can be used for some salary relief, and correlates on the first power-play unit.

The New Jersey Devils are hosting a Dallas Stars team that is on a back-to-back after losing to Ottawa last night. The Devils have only played three games so far and Hall hasn't scored yet but he's averaging four shots per game so I expect that to change soon. He has three assists but linemate Kyle Palmieri has been the one dominating in the scoring department putting up six goals in those three games. Nico Hischier is centering the line and with the trio remaining in-tact on the top power play unit we get full-game correlation which gives this line elite upside.

The top overall line stack of the night is the Devils top line which features Taylor Hall, Nico Hischier, and Kyle Palmieri. With a whopping 32 combined points over their last 10 games, this trio draws a juicy matchup against a Rangers team that has allowed the most shot attempts and owns the worst xGA/60 over their past 15 games. Not required to play the tough minutes against the opposition's top scoring threats, home ice advantage will allow head coach John Hynes to get his most talented scoring line against one of the many weaker defensive lines of New York throughout much of this game. In a must win game for the Devils expect a big performance from this trio in an important game for New Jersey as they fight for playoff contention.

If you're looking to differentiate your lineup in tournaments tonight, consider taking the top line of the Devils which features Taylor Hall, Nico Hischier, and Kyle Palmieri. Expected to return to the lineup tonight, Palmieri enjoyed tremendous success last season skating alongside Taylor Hall. Not required to play the tough minutes against the opposition's top scoring threats, home ice advantage will allow head coach John Hynes to get his most talented scoring line against one of the many weaker defensive lines of Edmonton and away from Connor McDavid throughout much of this game. Also featured on the league's seventh ranked power play unit, look for New Jersey's top line to be very busy on the man advantage against the league's worst penalty kill in a game that should feature plenty of scoring.
