We have a nine game slate tonight, and there are good options on the board. Stacking will be big tonight, so look for some value where you can, and then load up on the star skaters where you can afford them.

Vegas lines are big when it comes to picking games to target, and that's a good place to start for goalies. When it comes to skaters, goal totals is another main place to start. Usually 5.5 goals is average, so targets games at six, and can look for goalies in games with a total at five.

In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy hockey lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 2/8/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom. Let's get to it, shall we?

DFS Forwards to Consider

Kyle Turris - C, NSH @ OTT (DK - $5,800, FD - $5,100)

Turris is up against his former team tonight for the first time, so if you like a good DFS narrative, then this is the spot for you. He is on the second forward line and the second power-play unit, so plenty of ice time for him to rack up points. He has two points in his last four games, and is taking about two shots per game. The Senators are giving up three goals per game, so you should feel confident attack them anytime they are on the slate.

Patrick Kane - W, CHI vs DAL (DK - $6,900, FD - $8,400)

Kane is up against the Stars, who are a better defensive team, so he is a GPP option only tonight. He has three points in his last two games, and is taking over three shots per game. He is expensive, but if you use him as a one off in GPPs, he has potential to reach value. He is on the second forward line and the first power-play unit, so the ice time will be there, just a bit of a tougher matchup for him.

 

DFS Defenders to Consider 

Ryan Suter - D, MIN vs ARI (DK - $5,400, FD - $5,600)

Suter is on the first defensive pairing and the top power-play unit, so he will be seeing well over 20 minutes per game as he normally does. He has five points over his last seven games, and is taking over two shots per game. Suter is also blocking over two shots per game, so he can really rack up points in multiple ways, making him a good cash game play. If you want to stack against the Coyotes, use Suter on the first power-play unit.

Shayne Gostisbehere - D, PHI vs MON (DK - $5,800, FD - $6,500)

Do not sleep on the Flyers tonight. This is looking like the type of slate where ownership will be spread out for the most part, and the Flyers will come in under 5% ownership. Love the Flyers first power-play stack tonight, which is where Gostisbehere sees time, along with the first defensive pairing. He has four points over his last three games, and is taking about three shots per game. Up against the Canadiens, who aren't good this year, so stacking against them is a good call.

 

DFS Goalies to Consider

Andrei Vasilevskiy - G, TB vs VAM (DK - $8,400, FD - $9,200)

Vasilevskiy is looking like a cash game lock tonight, as he is a massive -255 favorite at home according to Vegas. He is up against the Canucks, who are one of the weaker teams in the league, and shouldn't be feared too much offensively. He has 31 wins in 44 starts this season, and is coming off a rough game, so a nice bounce back spot at home for him to pick up the win.
