This article is part of our Yahoo DFS Hockey series. Monday is a little light, especially since the primary slate of DFS contests on Yahoo doesn’t include a 5:30 p.m. ET start between the Islanders and the Senators. However, that means you have until 8:30 p.m. ET to get your lineups in, so you have a little extra time. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS contests. GOALIE Antti Raanta, CAR at CHI ($33): Frederik Andersen may return, but that’s up in the air, and… Source link

There are five games starting at 6 p.m. EST or later. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Igor Shesterkin, NYR vs. ARI ($36): Both teams are on the second leg of a back-to-back, but Shesterkin and the Rangers are at home. The Coyotes come in last in shots on net allowed per game.

Fridays are more fun with some DFS hockey. There are four NHL games on the slate here in the middle of November. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy, TAM at WAS ($33): While we are a little over a dozen games into the NHL season for each team, there are still some things I expect to shake out as the season goes on.

As with elections, DFS hockey is all about results. There are four games on the docket Wednesday, which is one or two more than usual so that’s something, for the NHL. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. Let’s get you some good results! GOALIE Tristan Jarry, PIT at WAS ($33): It’s a tricky night for goalies.

Sunday was a light day for the NHL, but so is Monday. Once again, there are only three games on the slate. Hey, every day can’t be brimming with hockey, even if that is what we’d like. This isn’t baseball, after all. Here are the players I’d target, and avoid, for DFS lineups Monday. GOALIE Linus Ullmark, BOS vs. STL ($40): Jeremy Swayman‘s injury is unfortunate, but Ullmark had already grabbed the lead role for the Bruins. He has a 2.16 GAA and .929 save percentage. It likely won’t continue,… Source link

Mitchell Miller signed an entry-level deal with the Boston Bruins on Friday. (via USHL) The Boston Bruins have signed Mitchell Miller. With that signing, according to hockey scholars, it has again been made abundantly clear that hockey has learned nothing, and that the insidious and toxic culture of the game persists. Originally selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 2020 NHL Draft, Miller has a history. In school, Miller used racist slurs, including the N-word, toward a Black classmate and… Source link
