If you like options, days like Thursday are right up your alley. There are 10 games on the NHL slate, which means 20 teams worth of players to pick your DFS lineup from. It was supposed to be 11 games, but then San Jose and Vegas got postponed after I had written the first version of this article. Yes, I am annoyed. Of course, sometimes it helps to have those options pared down a bit, or a suggestion or two in your ear. Or in front of your eyes, as it were. That is to say, here are my… Source link

In prior seasons, Wednesdays would often be light days in the NHL. There would be two or three games on the schedule, usually for national broadcast. This season is different, which is quite the understatement. One of the ways it has been atypical is busier Wednesday schedules, like this week when we have seven games on the docket. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your daily fantasy lineup. By the way, two of the games start at 5:00 p.m. EST, so be prepared for an early… Source link

Opportunities for rested teams to face an opponent on the second leg of a back-to-back have been infrequent this season, but Tuesday the Devils are hosting the Sabres, who are visiting New Jersey after playing the Islanders on Monday. If there is one way to describe the Devils this season, it would be “rested.” There are plenty of rested teams in Tuesday’s six games. Here are my recommendations for your DFS lineup!

There are eight games in the NHL on Monday, and interestingly, there are eight home favorites on the docket.

Here’s a quick-hit primer to help with your lineup decisions.  GOALIE Jordan Binnington, STL vs. LA ($32): After allowing five goals in his last start, look for a bounce-back showing from Binnington.

The Canadiens and Bruins are significant favorites Sunday, while the Canucks are receiving short home chalk with the Yahoo featured contests only including the three evening games. Here’s a quick-hit primer to aid your lineup selections.  GOALIE Matt Murray, OTT vs. MON ($20): This is a letdown spot for the Canadiens after losing to Toronto 5-3 Saturday, and there’s potential for Murray to pad his fantasy point total through saves as Montreal has attempted the most shots per 60 minutes in the… Source link

The main contests at Yahoo consist of the eight evening NHL games starting at 7 p.m. EST. St. Louis is the largest favorite on the docket with Arizona close behind. After that, the other six games are projected to be close with the highest over/under totals projected to be in the contests featuring the North Division: Toronto at Montreal and Calgary at Edmonton.

Acquire Jack Eichel while his value is as low as it’s going to get. (Getty) This weekend the NHL will host two games at beautiful Lake Tahoe. The first game on Saturday will feature the Vegas Golden Knights and the Colorado Avalanche while Sunday’s matinee will see the Boston Bruins battle the Philadelphia Flyers. Obviously outdoor games are nothing new for the NHL and, at times, they’ve been overdone. The idea to host games at this type of venue, however, is pure genius. There’s… Source link

We’ve had quite a few games postponed due to COVID-19 in this NHL season, but recently the weather has been the culprit.

However, there are still nine NHL games Thursday, leaving plenty of options for your daily fantasy lineup. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your roster. GOALIE Cal Petersen, LOS at ARI ($29): It seems like the Jonathan Quick era is over in Los Angeles…. Source link

As I write this, no games for Tuesday have been postponed, but for some reason I’m feeling unusually wary. Hopefully all six of them do end up happening, even if they involve a few teams that have missed a lot of games thus far. While we’ve been getting some early starts this season, no puck gets dropped before 7:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday. Let’s get to the recommendations and hope they all remain relevant! I don’t like being this skeptical. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. NAS ($28): Oettinger is… Source link

It’s a quiet, two-game slate in the NHL Sunday and Colorado is returning from a layoff having last played Feb. 2. The Washington-Pittsburgh clash pits two long-standing rivals against each other, and the Golden Knights are coming off a 3-1 win over San Jose on Saturday. Both games feature small home favorites with a 6.5 over/under total. GOALIE Vitek Vanecek, WAS at PIT ($26): With the Penguins plodding along to a 6-5-1 record this season, Vanecek and the Capitals are ripe for a road upset…. Source link
