Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/3/18

Hello hockey fans and welcome to another awesome day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a nine-game slate on tap and there are only a few nights left before the playoffs start so let's not waste any more time and dive right into the picks, shall we?

Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night. When you purchase a DFSR NHL subscription to our base hockey projections you also get access to our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season.

GOALIE

Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $9500 DK - $8600
Opponent - DET
Proj Pts FD - 14.02 DK - 3.5

Let's start the nine-game slate with Goalie Bob who is 9-1 in his last 10 starts and he has a sensational .933 save % and a 2.01 GAA in his last 19 games. He and the Jackets are on fire right now just in time for a chance at a long playoff run and he faces the Wings, who are ranked 28th offensively and he's already 2-0 against them while allowing only three total goals. The Wings will already have their tee-times booked for the spring so all things considered, Bob is an elite play and my top goalie in all formats.

Keith Kinkaid FD - $8100 DK - $8300
Opponent - NYR
Proj Pts FD - 15.74 DK - 3.94

This guy has taken over the starting job in New Jersey and he is an impressive 9-1-1 in his last 11 starts while allowing only 11 goals in his last five. The Devils still need another victory to secure a playoff spot so look for them to be fired up this evening and they should be able to dominate the Rangers and their 23rd ranked road offense from puck drop. Lock and load Kinkaid in all formats.

Also Consider: Antti Raanta(ARI) Red hot lately but on road so GPP formats only.

CENTERS

Tyler Seguin FD - $8200 DK - $6900
Opponent - SJ
Proj Pts FD - 16.24 DK - 4.76

The veteran superstar is definitely better on home-ice but he recorded an assist and eight shots in his last road game and he has a goal, four asssits, and 17 shots in his last three games. Seguin has 40 goals and 36 assists in 79 games and he has an elite 4.2 shot per game average which is first amongst centers. The Sharks own the league's 10th-ranked offense but center is fairly thin for a nine-game slate so fire the superstar up in all formats, my friends.

Stack with: Jamie Benn, Alexander Radulov

William Karlsson FD - $7400 DK - $7300
Opponent - VAN
Proj Pts FD - 12.32 DK - 3.52

This guy has absolutely dominated the Canucks as he has three goals and three assists in only three games against them so far this season. What makes him even more appealing is the fact that he is on a four-game point streak where he has three goals, six assists, and 11 shots. Karlsson has 75 points in 79 games and while his 2.30 shot per game average isn't the most appealing for cash games, he he is an excellent GPP play against the Canucks and their 26th ranked defense.

Stack with: Jon Marchessault, Alex Tuch

Pierre-Luc Dubois FD - $6000 DK - $6100
Opponent - DET
Proj Pts FD - 8.33 DK - 2.47

Dubois has a great gig skating along two superstars on the #1 line and the #1 powerplay unit and he has four goals, two assists, seven shots and four blocks in his last three games. The Wings are ranked 21st in defense and the Jackets have scored 16 goals in their last three games so fire up Dubois in all formats this evening.

Stack with: Cam Atkinson, Artemi Panarin

 

 

WINGERS

Taylor Hall FD - $8300 DK - $7900
Opponent - NYR
Proj Pts FD - 16.7 DK - 4.86

Oh boy, Oilers fans must be upset seeing this guy do so well after he was traded for Adam Larsson two years ago. The superstar winger is on fire lately as he's on an eight-game point streak with six goals, seven assists, and a whopping 33 shots on goal. Hall even scored a short-handed goal while his team was killing a five on three powerplay last game and he has 89 points in 74 games with an elite 3.64 shot per game average. The Rangers are ranked 27th in defense and they will meet the Wings on the golf course very soon so Hall is my top winger and a sensational play in all formats.

Stack with: Kyle Palmieri, Nico Hischier

Travis Konecny FD - $8400 DK - $5400
Opponent - NYI
Proj Pts FD - 10.17 DK - 2.92

Guess what? The Islanders and their league-worst defense are in action so load up on the Flyers tonight and for me, it starts with this young man who plays on the #1 line and the #2 powerplay unit for the Flyers. Konecny had a goal, an assist, two shots, and three blocks against the Bruins last game and he has four goals, an assist, 14 shots, and five blocks in his last five. Lock and load Konecny in all formats and make sure you get more exposure to the Flyers against an awful Islanders defense.

Stack with: Claude Giroux, Sean Couturier

Anthony Beauvillier FD - $3900 DK - $4600
Opponent - PHI
Proj Pts FD - 7.73 DK - 2.2

The Islanders have freed the rookie up as they're out of the playoffs and he's paid dividends the last three games as he has three goals and an assist during that span and he has 16 shots in his last five. He plays on the #2 line and the #2 powerplay unit and he's an important value play this evening in all formats since we have to spend up at center this evening.

Stack with: Mathew Barzal, Jordan Eberle

Also Consider: Kyle Connor(WPG), Jakub Voracek(PHI)

 

DEFENSEMEN

Ivan Provorov FD - $8700 DK - $5300
Opponent - NYI
Proj Pts FD - 11.67 DK - 3.42

The former Brandon Wheat King is going to be one of the best defensemen in the league in a few years and you heard it right here. I watched him in Brandon two years ago where the Wheaties scored seven goals and he assisted on six of them. He is a special talent and he's came up huge lately as he has two goals, three assists, seven shots, and eight blocks in his last three games while averaging 24 minutes of ice-time. Value is tough to come by at the defense position so spending up to roster Provorov in all formats is a great idea against the Islanders.

Alex Goligoski FD - $3700 DK - $3800
Opponent - CGY
Proj Pts FD - 8.67 DK - 2.57

This guy sees a lot of ice-time and he scored his 12th goal of the season last game to give him a goal, five shots, and seven blocks in his last three. The Flames aren't playing like a team anymore this season so lock Goligoski into your cash game lineups and spend elsewhere.

Also Consider: Alex Edler(VAN)
