Best NHL DFS Picks for December 1, 2017
NHL DFS Centers
Bryan Little vs. VGK (4.7k DraftKings, 5k FanDuel)
Bryan Little’s been great as of late for the Winnipeg Jets. He’s recorded three goals and two assists in the last five contests. Little centers the second power play unit and has tallied one goal and three assists in that context. The opposing Golden Knights will be on the second night of a back-to-back and could be going to a backup goaltender.
Aleksander Barkov vs. SJS (6.6k DraftKings, 6.9k FanDuel)
Aleksander Barkov’s potted a goal in the last two games and has collected four points in the previous five contests. He’s third on the Panthers in scoring with 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists). Barkov plays with Jonathan Huberdeau, who leads the team with 25 points and always gives Barkov a chance to have a big night. The 22-year-old hass sniped one power-play goal and three shorthanded goals.
Paul Stastny vs. LAK (5k DraftKings, 5.5k FanDuel)
This St. Louis center has five points in the last five games. He’s tallied 20 points with six goals and 14 assists in 25 games. He’s on the second power play unit and has sniped two goals and dished out two assists. Stastny’s potted three of six goals when the Blues are on the road. The second-line center also has one shorthanded goal this campaign.

Jordan Eberle vs. OTT (4.9k DraftKings, 6.1k FanDuel)
Sometimes all you need is a fresh start, and Jordan Eberle needed exactly that. He’s been on fire for the New York Islanders.

The Islanders are first in the league in goals per game at 3.67 while the Senators give up a whopping 3.13 goals a contest. Eberle could be in store for a big night.
Patric Hörnqvist @ BUF (6.3k DraftKings, 5.6k FanDuel)
The Pittsburgh Penguins have a ton of star power but Patric Hörnqvist’s been quietly contributing. He’s collected 15 points in the 23 contests, putting eight past the netminder. Hörnqvist gets power play ice time for the first team, and he’s tallied four goals and four helpers on the PP. He is also on a three-game point streak for the Penguins.
Pavel Buchnevich vs. CAR (6.1k DraftKings, 5.5k FanDuel)
The New York Rangers have found some scoring in Pavel Buchnevich. He’s put up three points last game against the Florida Panthers.
