The NHL’s Christmas break is nearing. In a few days we will be sans hockey for the long weekend. Wednesday, though, we have seven games on the slate. Here are a handful of guys to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Logan Thompson, VGK vs. ARI ($34): Thompson has slowed down a smidge after a hot start, but he still has a 2.64 GAA and .917 save percentage. This is the kind of matchup that can help boost his numbers, though. The Coyotes rank 26th in goals scored, which is actually… Source link

By no means is Wednesday a busy night for the NHL. There are three games taking place, and for whatever reason two of them are Canadian-on-Canadian matchups. Even so, the DFS opportunities are there. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Cam Talbot, OTT vs. MON ($29): In his last start, Talbot got the benefit of hosting the Ducks. He did his job, posting a shutout. This matchup is only slightly trickier. The Canadiens have averaged 2.86 goals and 29.3 shots on… Source link

We’re solidly into this NHL season, with some teams having even hit the 30-game mark at this point. Things have started to come together, in ways surprising (Tage Thompson) and expected (Connor McDavid). This Monday, we’ve got six games on the slate. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Cam Talbot, OTT vs. ANA ($29): Talbot’s overall numbers (2.77 GAA, .909 save percentage) aren’t good, but he’s mostly been solid and had three brutal outings, which over… Source link

Yahoo does not fear a Sunday matinee. The main slate of contests features all six games on the docket, even though that means a 3 p.m. EST start. Hopefully you can get your lineups in by then. Here are my recommendations. GOALIE Carter Hart, PHI at ARI ($25): Maybe this will go down as getting too cute, but I want to take a shot on Hart at this salary. He struggled following a hot start, but has compiled a 2.31 GAA and .923 save percentage from his last three outings. It’s only three starts,… 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. GOALIE Logan Thompson, VGK vs. PHI ($36): Thompson has had a few tough starts recently, but he still has a 2.68 GAA and .918 save percentage. The Golden Knights should give the rookie… Source link

Looking for a pick-me-up on a Monday? How about a little hockey? There are six NHL games on the docket, and here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. Good luck out there! GOALIE Dan Vladar, CGY vs. ARI ($25): There is a question of who will start in net for the Flames. Vladar, the definitive backup when the year began, has started four of Calgary’s last six games, and in those starts he has an 1.97 GAA and .940 save percentage. So, do the Flames run with Vladar, or… Source link

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. Hopefully you’re ready for some early DFS action because Yahoo has decided to cover the full five-game NHL slate in its main contest section. That means the first puck drops at 3 p.m. EST. That means you’ll need to take a look at these players to target, and to avoid, a little earlier than usual before selecting your lineups. GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. MIN ($37): There are a lot of teams on the second leg of a back-to-back… Source link

Hey, I’m a college football fan, but the conference title games this year are a little dodgy on paper. That makes Saturday a perfect night to focus on the NHL, especially with 12 games on the slate. Here are some players to target, and some to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Vitek Vanecek, NJD at PHI ($38): Vanecek has been a pleasant surprise, posting a .918 save percentage but also boasting a 2.24 GAA thanks to New Jersey’s stingy defense. A defense need not be elite to stifle the Source link

The first Friday of December is a light night for the NHL. There are only three games on the docket. Still, you want to take yourself into the weekend on a good note, right? Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Ilya Sorokin, NYI vs. NAS ($39): Sorokin has always been an above-average NHL goalie, but he’s playing at a Vezina level this year. The Russian has a 2.18 GAA and .933 save percentage. Nashville isn’t just in the bottom four in the NHL in goals per… Source link
