We have a split slate today, 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 3/10/18. 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

Connor McDavid - C, EDM vs MIN (DK - $7,600, FD - $9,100)

McDavid seems a bit too cheap on DraftKings tonight, so I'd look to roster him. He is up against the Wild, who are on the second night of a back to back, so they will be down to their backup goalie. This puts him in a great spot, as he is always one of the more consistent players in DFS hockey. He has 10 points over his last six games, and taking almost four shots per game. Really like this matchup for him, for tournaments. The Wild do play good defense, so I'd shy away from him in cash games.

Riley Nash - C, BOS vs CHI (DK - $5,800, FD

Nash is now on the first forward line for the Bruins since Patrice Bergeron is out with an injury. He has seven points in his last five games, and is seeing some nice production being on the top line. This game is earlier in the afternoon, just be aware that this is an earlier start time. The one issue with Nash is that he doesn't play on the power-play, so his upside is limited a bit, but being surround by Marchand and Pastrnak are enough.

 

DFS Defenders to Consider 

Aaron Ekbald - D, FLA vs NYR (DK - $5,200, FD - $5,500)

Ekbald and the Panthers are hot right now, and up against the Rangers, who are seriously struggling on defense right now. He is on the first defensive pairing, and the second power-play unit, so plenty of ice time against this weak Rangers defense. He has five points in his last six games, and is taking almost three shots per game. Ekblad sees over 20 minutes per game, and is also blocking almost two shots per game. Really like him for cash games tonight, but can also be used in a stack.

Mikhail Sergachev - D, TB vs MON (DK - $4,100, FD - $ 4,200)

Sergachev is technically up against his former team tonight, so if you believe in a revenge narrative, then this is the spot. He is on the second power-play for the Lightning, who are the best offensive team in the league. They are up against the Canadiens tonight, who are giving up over three goals per game, and are down to their backup goalies. He is coming off a two assist game, which were his first points in eight games. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, and he can capitalize on this weak defense.

 

DFS Goalies to Consider

Marc-Andre Fleury - G, VGK @ BUF (DK - $8,400, FD - $8,700)

Fluery and the Golden Knights are -205 road favorites, which should tell you how weak the Sabres are this season. Fluery makes a good cash game option for this slate, as he is likely to come away with the win, and you are paying up for his price because of that. He has two wins in his last four starts, and is coming off a shutout in his most recent game. He has a bit of tournament upside since he has seen 30 or more shots in three of his last five games.
