DFO DFS CHARTS – 12/20/24
The DailyFaceoff DFS Charts used to be a PREMIUM Tool, but we are now happy to offer them 100 percent FREE!
The charts are posted daily (Monday to Saturday) but usually aren’t available until all NHL lineups have been confirmed (roughly 3:00 PM ET). This year, there will be two separate versions of the charts, one for DraftKings, and one for FanDuel. The information is the same, but the site’s pricing differs. The links to these charts will change daily, so you’ll have to get the new links from the current day’s DFS Chart post.

HOW TO READ THE CHARTS
Implied Totals
The implied totals for all of the day’s games that are included in the DFS Main Slate. Implied totals are the number of goals each team is implied to score based on Sportsbook’s game line and total. Targeting players on teams with the highest implied totals is usually a good place to start.
Matchups and Matchup Score
Matchups are based on historical data on how a home team deploys their lines at 5v5. The percentage is the projected percentage that each line is expected to face other lines.
The Matchup Score is calculated based on the difficulty of each matchup and the amount they are projected to face each line. Each line’s matchup is weighted against all other matchups on the slate and given a score from 1-to-100, with 100 representing the best matchup for offensive success.
Line Stats
Line Stats showcase every line’s offensive and defensive metrics. O-Score and D-Score represent all of the metrics in one number weighted against the other lines on the slate. The higher the O-Score, the better that line is offensively. The same goes for D-Score. You want to target lines with high O-Scores that will face lines with negative or low D-Scores, which is represented in the Matchup Score above.
In this example, TBL1 is the best offensive line on the slate, and roughly 29 percent of their ice-time is expected to come against NYR2, which is the worst defensive line on the slate. That is a matchup that you’d expect TBL1 to dominate tonight.
Line Stack Rankings
Using each line’s expected TOI, matchups and stats of both them and their opposition, we get one number: 5v5 Score. It represents which line has the best chance for high offensive output on that slate. We also include each line’s Power-play xG to give you an all-encompassing view of each line’s expected production. It also includes the prices for all three players on the line and a full line-stack price.
Projections
Skaters
Stat-based projections for all of the Forwards and defensemen on the slate. Using the up-to-date lines on DailyFaceoff.com, we can accurately project for TOI and give us a better idea of each skater’s projected Goals, Assists, SOG and Blocked Shots.
Goalies
Projections for all of the goalies on the slate. Using a combination of team underlying metrics and sportsbook odds, we project Implied Win%, Implied Goals Against, and Expected Saves.
