NHL Daily League Lineup Picks for Saturday, November 26 

For those that are new to this, each day we'll be providing you with a few of our top DFS lineup picks for daily league cash games on FanDuel, DraftKings, and FantasyAces. We will also provide you with one of our favorite teams to stack for GPPs. You can grab the rest of our Premium DFS lineup picks and stacks through the NHL Cheat Sheet and DFS Premium Pass below.

Nicklas Backstrom (C, WSH)

DraftKings - $6,900, FanDuel - $6,900, FantasyAces - $5,400

His price is approaching a season high on all sites but there is still room for value. The Caps offense has really picked it up lately especially the powerplay that has scored in three straight and four of their last five games. Backstrom has been a big contributor to the success with nine points over his last five games, four coming on the powerplay where he pairs up nicely with Alex Ovechkin.

Mark Stone (W, OTT)

DraftKings - $5,100, FanDuel - $6,100, FantasyAces - $4,700

His price has caught up on FanDuel but he is still an excellent value on DraftKings and FantasyAces. The Sens have really been flip flopping lines lately but that hasn't interrupted the production of Stone. He has provided seven points over his last seven games. He doesn't offer the highest floor with minimal shots but makes an excellent GPP play with whoever he lines up beside.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic (D, SJ)

DraftKings - $4,300, FanDuel - $4,700, FantasyAces - $4,600

With a mid $4K price tag on all sites Vlasic makes an excellent cash game play on Saturday. The upside is limited as he has just seven points through 20 games but has provided a consistent floor for cash games. Over the last 10 games he has averaged 2.2 blocks and 2.9 shots per game.

Stacking Option

Los Angeles Kings - Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli, Tanner Pearson

The Kings are hot right now winning four straight, scoring 15 goals in total. The Carter line has been the main source of offense all season as he and Toffoli lead the team in overall points. Carter has also been red hot lately with 11 points(7 goals) in his last 10 games and carries a very high floor with 37 shots over that span. In a home matchup with a tough Blackhawks team coming to town, the Kings will turn to their top unit to lead the way.

Bonus: General NHL DFS Strategy Notes

For cash games, look at players who can contribute to your score even when they are not providing offense. Some examples are guys who take a ton of shots and defensemen who block a lot of shots. Also, look for guys who get power play time. You can find value in players who join a new line due to an injury, or just get a promotion and more ice time. It is also recommended to spread out your exposure to three or four different lines, and not put all your eggs in one basket.

For large field tournaments (GPPs), find payers who have multi-point upside and can grab double-digit fantasy points. If you want to stack the most upside in your forwards, a common strategy is to punt the defense position. This doesn't mean just grab anyone - try and look for a defenseman who will get power play time, or a playing time boost due to an injury. For a contrarian approach, paying up at the defense position can be a great strategy - but it also comes with more risk. GPPs bring a great opportunity for goaltenders in the value price range - you can look for backups on good teams.
