Tuesday NHL DFS Picks & Game Previews for PrizePicks

Here are the top games to target for NHLDFS fantasy production today, Tuesday, February 25.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Boston Bruins: Preview, Pick

Time: 7 p.m. ET

How to Watch: ESPN+

The Bruins and Maple Leafs have had some exciting playoff series the last couple of years, which have escalated an already intense rivalry. That intensity has not been as prominent this season, with Boston struggling and currently out of the playoffs while Toronto is first in the Atlantic.

Much of that has to do with defense. The Bruins had one of the best defenses and goaltending tandems in the league, but they traded goalie Linus Ullmark in the offseason, which has forced Jeremy Swayman to play more. He’s allowed 2.98 goals per game and a .898 save percentage, acclimating to his increase in playing time.

Here are a few key stats to help you make your DFS picks for Tuesday’s NHL matchup on PrizePicks:

• Jeremy Swayman has a .868 save percentage against the Maple Leafs this season
• Toronto has out-scored Boston 10-6 in the previous two games.
• Toronto games have gone for more than five goals in 32 out of 57 games this year.
• Auston Matthews is one the best forwards in the league and is aggressive at shooting the puck with over three shots on goal in 23 of 42 games this season.
• David Pastrnak remains the focal point of the Bruins offense, and he has four or more shots on goal in 10 of his last 15 games.

NHL PrizePicks Pick: Bruins F David Pastrnak — 4 Shots On Goal

Edmonton Oilers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Preview, Pick

Time: 7:30 p.m. ET

How to Watch: ESPN+

This is one of the more exciting games on the schedule for today, as it features two top-tier offenses. The Oilers made a significant leap forward last year as they made the Stanley Cup finals. They brought back the same core of dominant forwards, including Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, and are poised to make another run to the playoffs.

It’s been a couple of years since the Lightning made it far into the NHL Playoffs, but they once made three consecutive appearances in the Stanley Cup Finals. Many players from those teams remain, including forwards Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point and goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Here are a few key stats to help you make your DFS picks for Tuesday’s NHL matchup on PrizePicks:

• Oilers F Leon Draisaitl has only three shots on goal in the past two games. Before this, he had three or more in 22 of his previous 28 games
• Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy has a .939 SV% and has allowed 2.00 goals per game in his last 11 games.
• Edmonton D Evan Bouchard is another prominent piece of the offense, and has at least three shots on goal in eight of the last 10 road games.
• Lightning F Nikita Kucherov led the NHL last year with 144 points and is third this year with 83. Has recorded a point in 23 of his 26 home games.
