We had the first two series of the second round of the NHL playoffs begin Tuesday. Now, here on Wednesday, the second two series kick off. It’s time for some more DFS action. Let’s savor the time when we have multiple NHL games basically every day while we can. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineup. GOALIE Antti Raanta, CAR vs. NYR ($28): Wednesday, we have the teams that finished sixth, seventh, and ninth in goals per game this season. Then, we have the Rangers,… Source link

We have three Game 7s on Saturday, which is super exciting. That also means some DFS opportunities as well. The first game is at 4:30 p.m. EDT. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Mike Smith, EDM vs. LOS ($37): Smith remains my process-of-elimination choice in net. Antti Raanta is a backup being forced to start. Jonathan Quick and Jeremy Swayman are on the road against top-10 offenses. Tampa and Toronto have been piling up the goals. As such, give me Smith at… Source link

Just as a hockey fan, I love the fact that Sunday’s four Game 4s feature no chances of a sweep. Since the first game is at 12:30 p.m. ET, you’ll have to have your lineup in early. But once you take care of that, you can get to that Mother’s Day brunch or whatever and be all set. Here are the players to target, and to avoid, for your lineups. GOALIE Mike Smith, EDM at LOS ($38): Given the offensive support he’s received the last two games, Smith hasn’t needed to play well but still went ahead… Source link

It’s going to be a late night for hockey lovers on the East Coast on Wednesday. There are four games taking place — the first starts at 8:30 p.m. EDT, and the other three start at 10 p.m. EDT. You have a lot of time to get your DFS lineups in, so consider these recommendations when you do. GOALIE Kevin Lankinen, CHI at ARI ($20): The way things seem like they will shake out goaltending wise Wednesday this is an opportunity to roll the dice on Lankinen and save some salary. He hasn’t been… Source link

Since Saturday was packed to the brim with NHL action, Sunday features several teams on the second day of a back-to-back. It also features earlier starts. The DFS slate covers all six games, with the first starting at 1 p.m. EDT. Here are my Easter recommendations for players to target, and ones to avoid. GOALIE Marc-Andre Fleury, MIN vs. SAN ($33): With so many clubs playing on consecutive days, goaltending options are a little dicey. Fortunately, the Wild provide a better combo than most… Source link

Saturday is the men’s college hockey title game between Denver and Minnesota State, but there’s plenty of hockey at the professional level as well. I was tempted to do a full-game slate, since the first game starts at 2 p.m. EDT, but instead I will just focus on the nine games starting at 7 p.m. or later. That’s plenty of options! Here are the ones I recommend, and the ones I would avoid. GOALIE Robin Lehner, VGK vs. ARI ($31): Since returning, Lehner has had one good start and one bad start…. Source link

It’s a surprisingly robust slate of evening games in the NHL on Sunday night with five on the schedule. Here are a handful of players to target, and to avoid, for your daily fantasy hockey lineups. Good luck! GOALIE Robin Lehner, VGK vs. OTT ($33): Lehner hasn’t had the best season, but this is about the matchup. The Senators rank 26th in goals per game and are on the road for the second leg of a back-to-back. At the very least, I expect Lehner to pick up the win. GOALIE TO AVOID Igor… Source link

The eight NHL games Sunday run from 1 to 10 p.m. ET and no two start at the same time. For this full day slate, here are some players to target and to avoid for your DFS lineups. Get your lineups in early! GOALIE Jake Oettinger, DAL vs. BUF ($28): Oettinger has posted a 2.26 GAA and .921 save percentage with a 1.71/.940 line over his last 11 games. Buffalo ranks 26th in goals per game and has also lost five in a row. GOALIE TO AVOID Marc-Andre Fleury, CHI vs. STL ($27): It’s been an up-and-down… Source link

Hey, a day without afternoon hockey. How novel! We have six games on the slate for the NHL. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups. GOALIE Ilya Sorokin, NYI at SEA ($36): Both of these teams struggle to score goals, but the Kraken are last in the league in shots on net per game. Also, they are on the second leg of a back-to-back. As a result, sign me up for Sorokin, who has a 2.44 GAA and .921 save percentage. GOALIE TO AVOID Juuse Saros, NAS at FLA ($33): Saros has… Source link

The Olympics have a men’s hockey problem. It isn’t very good. That is said with all due respect to the former NHLers, career Euro leaguers and college kids who play as hard and as well as they possibly can to represent their countries. This isn’t even their fault. Part of the low quality of play stems from the fact these guys were thrown together on makeshift teams, given about three practices and told to hit the global stage. The IOC, true to its well-established arrogance, has always taken the… Source link
