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.

We had a massive Saturday card, and it’s left us with crumbs for today. We actually have just four games, with three making up the main card. That means the pickings will be slim, but one matchup stands out above the rest. That happens to be the Houston-Sacramento rematch, in which the clubs combined for 240 points on Friday. The other contests should also offer plenty of fantasy value, so let’s go ahead and get into it. Guards De’Aaron Fox, SAC vs. HOU ($30) Fox was really struggling two weeks… Source link

All statistics from Natural Stat Trick and Hockey Reference. GOALIE Jordan Binnington, STL vs. DAL ($25): The Stars travel to… Source link
