It’s the last day before the NHL goes on its All-Star break, so we’re about to have a few days off for the games that count, and also DFS hockey. There are only two games Wednesday, but let’s make the most out of it. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Jeremy Swayman, BOS at TOR ($34): If the Bruins are swapping starts, it would be Swayman’s turn. He has a .914 save percentage, but a 2.34 GAA thanks to his team’s stout defense and penalty kill. The Maple… Source link

Tuesday is busier for the NHL than Monday was, but to be fair Monday only had one game on the slate. In comparison, Tuesday having three games on the schedule is a veritable buffet. It’s the end of January, and here are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Darcy Kuemper, WAS at CLM ($33): In his first season with the Capitals, Kuemper has put up a solid 2.62 GAA and .915 save percentage. Facing the Blue Jackets is a good chance to improve those numbers headed into… Source link

Sunday is about the toughest day for DFS hockey I can recall. Not only are there only two games, but there’s no favorable matchup to target with all four teams in the top-10 in GAA and three in the top-seven. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Ilya Samsonov, TOR vs. WAS ($30): Samsonov is coming off a poor start, but hopefully he’s fully locked in to face his former squad. And he’s still posted a 2.37 GAA and .916 save percentage. The Caps have also… Source link

There were nine NHL games Thursday, and now we get eight games Friday. Sure, that’s probably in part because the schedule slows down heading into the break, but I’m not complaining about getting plenty of hockey to enjoy. These are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Ilya Sorokin, NYI vs. DET ($35): Sorokin’s last few starts have gone poorly, but he got a game off and still boasts a 2.44 GAA and .922 save percentage. The Red Wings are just below average in goals… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. Before you spend your afternoon watching NFL football, be sure to get your lineups in for DFS hockey. There are four games Sunday starting at 7 p.m. EST or later. Here are a few recommendations for players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Adin Hill, VGK at ARI ($30): Only one team on Sunday night didn’t play Saturday – the Bruins – so taking a goalie on the second leg of a back-to-back is OK. What Hill has going… Source link

If you were hoping to kick back and dig into some NHL action Friday, your choices are limited. There are only three games on the slate. Hey, some hockey is better than none. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Vitek Vanecek, NJD at ANA ($31): This is the one-and-only choice for goalie Friday. In a sea of questionable choices, Vanecek has a 2.37 GAA and .913 save percentage. The Ducks are maybe the NHL’s worst team, and they are 31st in goals per game at… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. It’s a busier Sunday than usual for the NHL, and there are five games during the evening slate that starts at 7 p.m. EST. That’s not a lot of action, but it offers more than most Sundays. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Jacob Markstrom, CGY at CHI ($32): Markstrom’s terrible start to the season was a bit puzzling, and truth be told his .909 save percentage over his last 11 outings isn’t… Source link

All-Star Game rosters are out, so we know we’re really into the thick of the NHL season. Friday features six games, with several All-Stars in the mix, of course. Here are some players to target, and some to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Kaapo Kahkonen, SAN at ANA ($23): Kahkonen has struggled this year, but he has a career .902 save percentage so I expect him to improve. He won’t necessarily be great, but he’s a better goalie than his current numbers (including an arguably-unsustainable… Source link

Wednesday is a light night for the NHL, with only three games on the slate. Of course, if your goal for 2023 was to take your DFS action to the next level, you’re still all in to tackle this series of contests. For the first Wednesday of the year, here are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Scott Wedgewood, DAL at ANA ($30): Yes, the Stars are on the road for the second leg of a back-to-back, but I still like Wedgewood in this matchup. His play in net hasn’t been… Source link
