Welcome to the daily fantasy hockey picks article for DraftKings, FanDuel, and DraftPot for Friday, December 4th, 2015. Tonight we have 7 games on the schedule with 4 teams(ARI,NJ,FLA,DAL) playing on back to back nights. Lets take a look at some core plays for you cash and GPP lineups.
Tuukka Rask - Boston Bruins @ CGY *PROBABLE*
DraftKings - $7,600 FanDuel - $8,000 DraftPot - 4.80 DPPG
He is the closest there is to an elite goalie on Friday. Rask will face the Flames on Friday who he holds a 3-0 career record against. The Bruins have been a very good road team this year with a 8-2-1 record so I look for them to pull out another win in Calgary.
Cory Schneider - New Jersey Devils vs. PHI *CONFIRMED*
DraftKings - $7,200 FanDuel - $8,700 DraftPot - 4.72 DPPG
The Devils have beaten the Flyers three straight times and twice at home. Schneider has a 11-7-2 record with .927 save % on the year and has lead the Devils to a share of the wild card in the Eastern Conference. There is a ton of season left but Schneider has been a top 10 goalie on the year and comes at a great price.
Also Consider -Antti Niemi - Dallas Stars @ EDM
Tyler Seguin - Dallas Stars @ EDM
DraftKings - $8,800 FanDuel - $8,700 DraftPot - 4.85 DPPG
The projection system favors his matchup again on Friday(4.69 projected points) as the Stars western Canadian road trip continues on to Edmonton. After being held pointless last game, he came back and scored a beauty short side on Thursday in a win vs. the Canucks. Seguin and Benn have powered the Stars to the leagues #1 offense this season and he remains a great value across the industry.
Aleksander Barkov - Florida Panthers @ CBJ
DraftKings - $5,200 FanDuel - $5,200 DraftPot - 3.63 DPPG
He has been averaging about three shots per game the last few weeks and has 11 points in 14 games on the season. The system likes him for around 3 points tomorrow but with his inconsistent scoring should only be used in GPP formats.
Also Consider Patrice Bergeron - Boston Bruins @ CGY
Patrick Sharp - Dallas Stars @ EDM
DraftKings - $6,200 FanDuel(RW) - $7,100 DraftPot - 3.20 DPPG
He scored the game winner last night in Vancouver and will look to carry that momentum over into Edmonton tonight. He has a nice floor as he averages 17 CF/60 which has lead to 71 shots on goals and 21 points on the year.
Brad Marchand - Boston Bruins @ CGY
DraftKings - $5,500 FanDuel(LW) - $7,600 DraftPot - 3.50DPPG
He as been held scoreless over his last 3 games but still has seven points in his last 10 games with a +6 rating and 27 shots on net. Look for Marchand to turn it around tonight in Calgary as the Flames allow a league worst 3.56 goals per game.
Evander Kane - Buffalo Sabres vs. ARI
DraftKings - $5,300 FanDuel(LW) - $6,200 DraftPot - 3.73 DPPG
He has points in three of his last four games including back to back multi point efforts against Detroit and Nashville, two defensive teams. The offense has been a product of the amount of shots he takes as he averages 18.9 CF/60 and has 55 shots on net in 15 games this season.
Also Consider - Kyle Palmieri - NJ Devils vs. PHI
Aaron Ekblad - Florida Panthers @ CBJ
DraftKings - $4,800 FanDuel - $5,200 DraftPot - 3.70 DPPG
He makes a great cash game play as his floor is fairly high with the blocks and shots he takes. He has also added six points in his last 10 games with a +3 rating. The Panthers travel to Columbus to face the Blue Jackets tonight who are allowing 3.0 goals per game.
John Klingberg - Dallas Stars @ EDM
DraftKings - $5,900 FanDuel - $6,300 DraftPot - 4.47 DPPG
He sits second in the league in Defense scoring with 27 points. He has also added a +11 rating and 11 powerplay points. The projection system likes him again in this matchup against the Oilers on Friday and I feel he is safe in any format.
Also Consider - Kevin Shattenkirk - St. Louis Blues @ NYI
