DraftKings picks: Nylander scoring in bunches

W – Jonathan Drouin, Tampa Bay Lightning ($3,100)Taking a flier on Drouin was a successful strategy Thursday, as the forward scored a goal on four SOG in his return to the Lightning after a stint in the American Hockey League. He played with Vladislav Namestnikov and Alex Killorn on the Lightning’s second line and made an immediate DFS impact for nearly minimum price ($2,600). His price has only risen $500, so there’s not much to lose in drafting him for the game at the Montreal Canadiens, who have been outscored 32-21 in nine home games since the beginning of March.D – Brent Seabrook, Chicago Blackhawks ($5,900)Seabrook has one goal and four assists with 10 blocks and nine SOG in the first four games of Duncan Keith’s suspension. He had one block and two SOG in his earlier game against the Columbus Blue Jackets, but takes on greater offensive responsibility Saturday. The Blue Jackets allow the fifth-most DraftKings points to opposing defensemen, so let the well-rounded Seabrook loose on your fantasy blue line.D – Aaron Ekblad, Florida Panthers ($4,900)Ekblad’s four-game point streak (six assists in span) ended Thursday, but he still chipped in a blocked shot and three SOG to salvage his DFS return with 2.0 DraftKings points. He’s priced below $5,000 and offers first-unit power-play exposure, which is significant because the Panthers’ convert at a 19.7 percent clip at home (T-15th in NHL) as opposed to 13.7 on the road (26th). He’s tied for 29th in price among defensemen and one of the most steady middle-range options on the market.G – Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings ($8,000)Quick has the second-most home wins (24-12-2) in the NHL and has the Kings on the cusp of the Pacific Division title. He’s tied for sixth in DraftKings price among goalies and has allowed four goals in two games against the Winnipeg Jets this season. His peripheral stats are on par with his career averages, but he has eclipsed the 40-win mark for the first time of his career. Roll him out with confidence in the Kings’ season finale if he gets the start. Jhonas Enroth is even cheaper ($7,100) if he gets the call, and is tied for second League-wide in even-strength save percentage (.937) among goalies with at least 15 games played.UTIL – William Nylander, Toronto Maple Leafs ($4,100)Nylander already has four multipoint outings in 21 games since debuting Feb. 29, and 10 of his 13 points have come at Air Canada Centre. His first three road points at the NHL level (one goal, two assists) came Thursday with four SOG to help Toronto play spoiler by defeating the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime. The Maple Leafs rookie is still far from a sure thing on a nightly basis in DFS, but he has certainly made waves in a top-six role and should be a prime sleeper candidate entering next season.—Check out DraftKings.com to play 1-Day Fantasy Hockey today.
