On March 20, 2025, NHL DFS enthusiasts have a rich slate to explore with 14 games scheduled, bringing various strategies for lineup construction. The top three teams boasting high implied totals are the Carolina Hurricanes (4), Las Vegas Golden Knights (3.5), and Los Angeles Kings (3.5). The anticipated matchups include key players like Jacob Markstrom of the New Jersey Devils, who has struggled recently. His performance against the Calgary Flames will be crucial for DFS players looking for goaltending options.

Also under scrutiny is Bo Horvat of the New York Islanders, who has shown consistent output with a solid scoring chance against the Montreal Canadiens. The center's shot volume and recent form suggest he is bound to produce. In addition, Sam Bennett from the Florida Panthers is highlighted as a value pick against the Columbus Blue Jackets, thanks to his second line pairing with Carter Verhaeghe, which should amplify scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, Jackson Blake of the Carolina Hurricanes is a sleeper pick, seeing ample ice time against the Sharks, where the opportunity for offensive output is ripe.
