NHL DFS Picks for January 27, 2026: Top Stacks, Best Value Plays & Goalie Targets
Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Monster 10-gamer with a huge GPP on DraftKings. Let’s make some educated guesses and get lucky folks!
Top Stack of the Day
San Jose Sharks Power Play 1 (Toffoli, Smith, Wennberg, Celebrini, Klingberg)
I’m starting to think this Celebrini kid is good at Hockey. This is a major pivot point to the slate today as we get Celebrini in the best possible matchup in a homecoming to Vancouver versus the almost a hockey team Canucks. He projects as the second highest owned player on the entire slate, and you have to decide whether to play or fade. I say play, matchup is too good and the Sharks have shown life lately going 6-4 in their last ten with goals a plenty.
Top Value Stack of the Day
Toronto 1 (McMann, Matthews, Domi)
Matthews is one of the most expensive plays on the slate today, but he is worth it at home versus Sabres. What makes this line so affordable is his linemates, with perfect PP2 correlation and increased minutes, McMann and Domi have recently shown life. There are some excellent cheap defensemen today as well, which makes Celebrini/Matthews possible to play. This is my preferred build today and will really differentiate you in GPPS as most will play one or the other and not both.
TOP C Value
Cody Glass, New Jersey Devils (2.9k DK)
New Jersey hasn’t been nearly as good as expected this season, but it’s not Cody Glass’s fault. The 26-year-old Winnipeg native is having a completely unexpected breakout season, up to 13 goals, 18 points, 72 shots on net, 29 hits, 21 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-3 rating through 40 appearances. He’s probably one of the best bottom 6 centers in the whole league right now and downright affordable.
Top W Value
Morgan Geekie, Boston Bruins (5.2k DK)
Why is Morgan Geekie $5200 today? Boston is at home versus the sieve that is the Nashville Predators, and he plays line 1, power play 1 with one of the best skaters on the planet. He’s played so well this year that there were some small “snub” murmurings about being left off of the absolutely stacked team Canada and has an outside shot at leading the league at the end of the year in some offensive categories. He was priced up to almost 8k earlier in the season, but now he’s $5200 for literally no reason with 3 goals in his prior two games and great ice time to boot.
Top D Value
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Toronto Maple Leafs (3.0k DK)
Larsson’s teammate Rielly is projected as not only the highest owned defenseman, but the highest owned player tonight overall and I cannot fault that logic. OEL is also far too cheap tonight in the same matchup. He will quarterback power play 2 and likely see more minutes overall than Rielly tonight for only 3.0k, enabling correlation and fit with my favorite value line, Toronto 1 (whose wingers will both be on TOR 2 tonight.)
Top G Value
Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets (7.2k DK)
Finally got a goalie right as Talbot was very serviceable last week versus the Wild, recording 35+ saves and the bonus in an OT loss. Tonight, I’ll go right back to the well recommending somebody cheap with slate breaking potential, your reigning Vezina trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck as a +105-road dog in New Jersey. Yes, the Jets have been awful, but a big reason for a lot of that is that Hellebuyck hurt his back (really his knee) having to carry the Jets. He will probably be a little over-owned due to the name recognition, but it shouldn’t be too much to avoid in a decent enough environment at a bargain basement price.
