Usually, Saturday is a busy day for the NHL. This week, though, it’s relatively light. Well, at least in the evening. Eschewing the three matinee games, there are five NHL games making up the main slate of DFS contests. Those are the games I am looking at with these recommendations. GOALIE Matt Murray, TOR vs. CGY ($36): This is a tough slate for goalies. Murray has been excellent though, posting a 2.34 GAA and .932 save percentage. The Flames haven’t been terrible, but at 3.08 goals per game… Source link

The lack of real-time data in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, while frustrating, was not a new problem for the U.S. A similar issue existed during the 2009 flu pandemic a decade earlier — but it was worse. “The way you found out about school-aged kids dying in emergency rooms wasn’t from a surveillance system. It was the front page of the Boston Globe,” said Dr. Taha Kass-Hout. He would know. Kass-Hout had just joined the CDC, mid-outbreak, as director of Health Informatics Solutions… Source link

Believe it or not, Costco is known more for its legendary $1.50 hot dog and soda combo than its steady stream of solid financial results over the past 30 plus years. And despite stubbornly elevated inflation, that mouth-watering price is seemingly here to stay. Longtime Costco CEO Craig Jelinek tells Yahoo Finance he has no plans to raise the price of the hot dog/soda combo — nor does he have plans to cut the price for it seeing as rival Sam’s Club lowered the price for its similar offering… Source link

I haven’t seen this kind of drop since 2008.” A house for sale in Washington, D.C., the… Source link

Lululemon ($LULU) saw its best Black Friday ever, but that wasn’t good enough to match Wall Street’s hopes for the holiday season during the company’s latest financial release on Thursday. The company guided for fourth quarter earnings per share (EPS) of $4.20 to $4.30 on revenue of $2.605 billion to $ 2.655 billion, compared to Wall Street estimates of $4.30 EPS on $2.65 billion in revenue. “Black Friday was the biggest day ever in our history in terms of revenue and traffic, driven… Source link

We’re heading into the weekend with 10 NHL games Friday. That’s a lot of options for your DFS squads. Of course, more options doesn’t mean more choices, so you have more name to pare down until you’ve put your roster together. With that in mind, here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups.
