Below are optimal lineups for Wednesday's NHL DFS slate.

Today's cash game lineups are built around paying up for Evgeni Malkin. He's second in the league in scoring, and the Pens have the highest implied goal total of the night according to Vegas. As hot as he has been lately (and really, all season) it's very tough to leave him out of cash lineups tonight. The GPP lineups are built around San Jose's top line, centered by Joe Pavelski, which stays together on the top PP unit. San Jose has a great matchup against an Edmonton team that has struggled defensively this season and is starting backup goalie Al Montoya tonight. Becase San Jose is on the road, Vegas only has San Jose with the fifth highest implied goal total, which should keep their ownership levels down and give them more GPP appeal.
