Fantasy Hockey: Draft Kings DFS line up for 2/18/20

Here is my line up for tonight. I really like Ryan O’Reiley against a Devils defense that will be short handed after the trade of Andy Greene. O’Reily has struggled at times offensively but the match up is too good pass up. He has 41 assists on the season.

Mark Scheifele has a great home match up against a Kings defense that struggles to match up against teams that are big down the middle and can get to the net. The Hets are playing their best hockey of the season and Schifele is a big reason for that.

Tomas Tatar and Ilya Kovalchuk have a great match up at Detroit. Red Wings goalies have allowed nine goals in their last two games. Both Jonathan Bernier and Jimmy Howard have been inconsistent so that bodes we’ll for the Habs.

Brady Tkachuk averages 11.5 DFS points per game. Buffalo goalies have really struggled on the road so Tkachuk has a chance to build on a recent streak that has seen him pick up points in four of his last five games.

Drew Doughty and Mattias Ekholm both have an opportunity to get on the score sheet tonight in their respective match ups. The Kings take on the Jets who like to push the pace and play a wide open style. Doughty will have more opportunities to join the rush and get more scoring opportunities. Ekholm has struggled offensively but he is getting more pucks to the net in new coach John Hynes system.

Carey Price has a quality match up against the Red Wings but the Canadiens have only managed nine goals in their last five games so he may not get much support offensively.

Travis Zajac is a cheap play with what I had left. He should play more minutes in New Jersey with Blake Coleman gone. He’s an affordable DFS play despite the lack of production this season.
