The NHL season is back, and with a twelve-game slate on January 6, 2025, it's time to strategize for NHL DFS on DraftKings and FanDuel. Key matchups to watch include New Jersey and Washington both projected to score 3.6 goals, and Colorado at 3.5. Goalies like Sam Montembeault are set for pivotal roles against teams like the Vancouver Canucks, despite competition from rising stars like Jakub Dobes.
A standout pick is Dylan Strome, who has been productive for the Washington Capitals against the struggling Buffalo Sabres. His recent performance, alongside Alex Ovechkin, suggests a strong potential for points.
Ovechkin's pursuit of Wayne Gretzky's goal record adds another layer of excitement, as he aims to leverage poor defense from the Sabres. Defenseman Uvis Balinskis may also provide value with his recent performances, especially with expected absences on the blue line.
