Linus Ullmark almost got us the shutout but that’s ok. A 35 save win is still big points and we feel great about it. All of our free guys scored a point and Miro Heiskanen popped off on the power play with a three point night.
Today we will be looking at the middle of the day games as the early ones are too close to release time. The Florida Panthers are going to find themselves on our list a lot this year as they are putting together a championship team.
Here’s a high flying lineup For DFS Hockey 10/23/21 (using DraftKings Values)

| Defense | Werenski/Rielly | ~$6,500 |

| Goalie | J. Binnington | $8,500 |

The easy choice for goalie today is Jordan Binnington. He had a huge game against the Golden Knights and will enjoy a game against the Kings who played last night. If the Blues are going to make the playoffs, they need him to be at his peak.
Sebastian Aho is definitely underpriced here since he is pushing two points a game and will be playing a mediocre Blue Jackets team. On the other hand, Elias Pettersson is having a modest start to the season with three points in five games. He will be playing a Kraken team that is already dealing with goalie issues. There will be some nice chances for this sniper tonight.
Just below the top tier of defensemen we have a couple of studs that will have all the ice time they want. Zach Werenski is one of the guys that got paid this off season when Seth Jones went to Chicago. He is the undisputed number one in Columbus. For a long time Morgan Rielly has been the top dog in Toronto. Nothing changes here. Matthews and Marner should find their form soon enough and make the Leafs power play one of the most deadly in the league.
Now what do you get if you sign up now?
• A raft of wingers to choose from
• Our cheap guy today who is getting top line minutes
• Early access to all the new talent that is going to blow the socks off the NHL. Stay ahead of the competition at FantasyDFSExperts.com. Six months, just $99. What are you waiting for?
Corey Perry is one of the most controversial players in the league and that is well deserved. He still has a ton of skill and has been bumped up to the top line in Tampa. That is worth a small piece of your budget.
Now for the entree. Anthony Beauvillier, Cole Caufield, Martin Necas and Sam Reinhart are the wingers we have our eye on. All of them are playing major roles for their teams and are being relied on to generate offense more than your average player. Necas and Reinhart in particular are setting up breakout seasons and will be featured a lot this year.
