NHL DFS Strategy and Core Plays for April 27

There are three games on the NHL DFS main slate Saturday, with puck drop set for 5 p.m. ET. I ranked my favorite line stacks and a few value plays below, as well as contrarian plays to consider in tournaments.

We’ll all be active in our NHL Discord, even when there are only one or two games on the NHL schedule. It’s important to stay on top of the news, and we’ll help you do that. A last-minute scratch can ruin your lineup if you’re not on top of it, but it can also create a ton of value and opportunity. Everyone inside the NHL DFS chat is on the ball, so keep a close eye.

Below, you’ll see a list of all the games on the NHL slate along with the goal total for each. I’ve also listed my favorite stacks, values, one-offs and goalies for the day’s NHL DFS slate. Good luck and let’s get it!
