After the holiday weekend, it’s time to get back to business. That is to say, the business of playing NHL DFS contests, which you probably did over the weekend anyway. There are six games on the docket Monday night. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Logan Thompson, VGK at CLM ($37): After a hot start, Thompson’s play has been a little spottier, but he still has a 2.48 GAA and .920 save percentage.

Here are my players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups.

Hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving. The NHL was off, but it’s back in a big way Friday! However, a lot of the action is in the afternoon. Still, in the evening there are seven games taking place, so you have plenty of DFS options. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Ville Husso, DET vs. ARI ($36): The Wings took a shot on Alex Nedeljkovic last season and…it didn’t work out.

This Thanksgiving week, the NHL is all over the place schedule wise, with days either having only a couple – or no – games, or being packed to the brim. Monday, fortunately, is the latter. There are 10 games on the slate. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Juuse Saros, NAS vs. ARI ($25): Saros’ numbers are surprising, given that he came into this season with a career .920 save percentage.

This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. It’s an unusual day for this point in the NHL season. There is only one game on the schedule Friday, which means a random single-game DFS contest day for us all. The Vancouver Canucks are hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Obviously, I don’t want either team’s starting goalie. However, I have $105 in salary to divvy out to five players, one of whom is my Superstar and earns 1.5 times the points. Here’s my suggested lineup. SUPERSTAR
