The featured contests at Yahoo consist of the eight evening games beginning at 7 p.m. EDT. It’s a deep player pool, and there are two rematches between the Blues and Avalanche, and the Sharks and Kings. The Rangers, Canadiens and Avalanche are the largest favorites on the docket, whereas the highest over/under totals are in the Senators-Canadiens and Rangers-Sabres tilts. Here are picks and pans for Saturday’s action. All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Reference. GOALIE Carey… Source link

It’s a six-game slate in the NHL on Friday with Colorado the lone huge favorite on the docket. Washington and Toronto are also receiving notable road chalk, whereas Edmonton and Los Angeles are smaller home favorites. The two highest over/under totals are in the Toronto-Winnipeg and Washington-New Jersey clashes. Here are some picks and pans for Friday’s action. All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Reference. GOALIE Cal Petersen, LA vs. SJ ($29): A potential against-the-grain… Source link

It’s the first day of April, but there will be no pranks here. I’m giving you legitimate recommendations for your DFS lineup. There are nine games on the docket for the NHL, and the closest thing to a prank you’ll find is the Ottawa Senators‘ defense. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, to try and start a new month with a bang. GOALIE Igor Shesterkin, NYR at BUF ($34): Shesterkin has picked up where he left off after returning from injury, as he has a 2.36 GAA and .938 save… Source link

We end March on a Wednesday with six games on the NHL docket. If you want to end the month on a high note, here are some players I would recommend targeting for your DFS lineup, and also some I would suggest avoiding. GOALIE Philipp Grubauer, COL vs. ARI ($39): The Avalanche have allowed a league-low 24.9 shots on net per contest. Arizona has averaged a league-low 25.9 shots on goal per game. Will the Coyotes even register double-digit shots on Grubauer? This should be a very easy day for the… Source link

There are seven NHL games Tuesday, including the expected return of the Montreal Canadiens to action. Fingers crossed that actually happens, and if it does there is potential there for the Habs. Montreal is slated to host Edmonton, the only team on the second leg of a back-to-back Tuesday. Here are my recommendations for who to target, and who to avoid, for your daily fantasy lineup. GOALIE Jaroslav Halak, BOS vs. NJD ($34): The last time these two teams played, which was Sunday, Halak made 28… Source link

There are seven games in the NHL on Monday with the Avalanche, Golden Knights and Flyers the three largest favorites on the docket. It’s also worth noting that Anaheim is the only team playing for the second consecutive night. The highest over/under total is in the Toronto-Edmonton bout. Here are some picks and pans for Monday’s DFS action. All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Reference. GOALIE Brian Elliott, PHI at BUF ($28): The Sabres have scored the fewest five-on-five goals… Source link

Sunday is a day for early starts, but not a day for well-rested teams. The first game is starting at 12:00 p.m. ET, but I am still going to look at the full slate for my recommendations because five of the six start at 6:00 p.m. or earlier. Eight of the teams also played on Saturday, which means plenty of back-to-backs and recommendations. GOALIE Jaroslav Halak, BOS vs. NJD ($34): The Bruins are playing for the second straight day while the Devils are not, but I am still willing to go with… Source link

It’s an exciting Saturday in the NHL with six of the seven evening games that make up the featured contests at Yahoo projected to be close contests according to the odds. Toronto is the lone sizable favorite, and the Maple Leafs-Oilers game also has the highest over/under total. It’s also worth noting that Winnipeg beat Calgary 3-2, and Arizona topped San Jose 5-2 on Friday, so all four clubs are playing the second leg of a back-to-back start.

The NHL is being generous to hockey fans Thursday, as we have a whopping 11 games on the slate. However, one of those games involves the Bruins, who have had a couple games postponed due to COVID-19. The expectation at the moment is for that game to go on, but we can’t be certain. However, it’s also the Bruins versus the Islanders. If that game happens, I don’t expect more than a couple goals. Maybe just skip over that one, though the goalies on those two squads are always enticing. Here are… Source link

GOALIE Kaapo Kahkonen, MIN vs. ANA ($37): The Wild are using Kahkonen and Cam Talbot pretty evenly, so I can’t say for certain who will start. Kahkonen’s last start did go poorly, but that was against the Avalanche so that is understandable. Talbot may have played well in his last start but that was against Anaheim, and right before that he struggled against…the Avalanche. Either way, I’m happy to go with either of Minnesota’s goalies against a Ducks team that has scored 2.15 goals per… Source link
