Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/28/17 Hello my fellow hockey fans and welcome back to another day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a seven-game slate in store for us with three teams playing in a back-to-back(MON, ARI, VEG), so there will be some matchups for us to take advantage of. Let's get started with some of my favorite picks, shall we? Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night.

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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW!  GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9500 DK - $8300 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 14.87 DK - 3.72 The Lightning obviously knew what they were doing last season when they traded away Ben Bishop as this young man is having one heck of a season so far. The young Russian tender earned a shutout last game to give him two in his last five, he has won seven of his last eight games and is ranked first with 23 wins, second with a 2.13 GAA and second with a .932 save %. It should be a routine walk in the park for the Lightning tonight as the Canadiens and their 25th ranked offense travel to Tampa where they historically do not fare well and they are losing in Carolina as I write this. With all of these important things considered, Vasilevskiy is an elite play and easily my top goalie in all formats. Frederik Andersen FD - $8600 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 14.67 DK - 3.67 This guy will be licking his chops this evening as he and the Leafs travel to the desert to take on the Coyotes and their second-worst offense. The veteran tender has had a solid year so far as he is ranked third in the league with 19 wins and he has won his last two games while allowing only three goals, and he has won six of his last eight. While Vasilevskiy will be in 100% of my...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/27/17 Hello hockey fans and welcome to an exciting day of NHL action here at DFSR. After a three-day Holiday break, we have a massive 11-game slate this evening and obviously all teams will be well rested, so it should make for a lot of fast-paced action. We have a few weak defenses to pick on as well as some high-scoring offenses to target, 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. If you want to see the numbers behind our projections, create lineups with a single click, or research as deeply as your heart desires, click the button below to test out yourself. MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 14.35 DK - 3.59 The former Stanley Cup Champ has been nearly equivalent to a brick wall lately as he has reeled off three wins in a row while allowing only four goals and he has a magnificent 8-0-1 record in his last 10 games. After a terrible start to the season, he has now brought his GAA all the way down to 2.28 which is fifth best in the league and I simply cannot see the Senators and their 23rd ranked offense(2.75 goals per game) having much of a chance this evening against a talented Bruins squad. With all of these things considered, Rask is an elite play and my top goalie in all formats. Semyon Varlamov FD - $7600 DK - $7600 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 14.11 DK - 3.48 If we want to win a tournament or two(I think that is the idea), then we need to separate ourselves from the competition and choose a goalie who is in a good matchup but should be lower owned. Enter "Varly" who is a very talented goalie that plays on a team who has had a lot of growing pains, but finally seems to be heading in the right direction. The Russian tender is 3-0-1 in his last four games while allowing...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/22/17 Hello my fellow hockey fans and welcome back to another day of daily fantasy hockey here at DFSR. Today, we have a cozy four-game slate in store for you that shall not be short of excitement as we prepare for the Holiday season. Let's not waste any more time and dive right into the picks. 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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Braden Holtby FD - $9300 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 13.19 DK - 3.3 Okay, I was a goalie back in the day and I would almost(not quite) recommend myself against the Coyotes and their awful 30th ranked offense as they score only 2.19 goals per game. All jokes aside, Braden Holtby is a good if not great goalie and he's won his last four games and he is second in the league with 20 wins so far this season. Like I have said in my articles before, I try and lean on goalies that are playing at home, but this is too easy of a matchup for Holtby and the Capitals for us to ignore, so make things simple and lock him into all of your lineups in every single format this evening.  CENTERS Sean Couturier FD - $6600 DK - $6800 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 14.2 DK - 3.94 I was getting worried about this guy as he has no front teeth(I really do hope that he asks for his two front teeth for Christmas). After being held pointless for three games, the young center scored a goal on six shots against Detroit two nights ago and he has 14 shots in his last three games. Couturier centers the top line and the #1 powerplay unit for the flyers, so he is an elite play tonight against the Sabres and their fourth worst defense(3.32 goals allowed per game). Stack with: Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds Jonathan Drouin...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/20/17 Welcome back to another day of daily fantasy hockey here at DFSR. Today, we have a tiny three-game slate in store for us and we have two teams playing in back-to-back games(TOR,DET), so fatigue could be an issue for those teams. Let's not waste any more time and look at some of my favorite picks for tonight's slate. 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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Brian Elliott FD - $8000 DK - $8300 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 13.52 DK - 3.38 This is a tough slate overall tonight and this position is no exception, but this guy looks like our best option as he is about to face the Red Wings and their sixth-worst offense(2.63 goals scored per game). Before he gave up four goals to the Kings last game, Elliot was on a blazing hot streak as he won six games in a row while allowing only nine goals during that span. The Flyers have been playing much better hockey lately and the Wings are playing at the time of this writing, so fatigue will be an issue. All things considered, Elliot is my top goalie in all formats this evening. Also Consider: Curtis McElhinney(TOR) GPP formats only. CENTERS Brayden Schenn FD - $7100 DK - $6900 Opponent - CGY Proj Pts FD - 12.82 DK - 3.72 This young man has been struggling by his standards recently, but he plays on the top line and the top powerplay unit with elite sniper Vladimir Tarasenko, so he is due for a huge game very soon(hopefully tonight). Schenn had an assist two games ago and he has nine shots in his last three, and he has 38 points in 35 games this season. The Flames are ranked 18 defensively(2.94 goals allowed per game) and even though Schenn has been struggling lately, it is a tiny slate, so he is a solid play in all...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/18/17 Hello and welcome to another day of daily fantasy hockey here at DFSR. Today, we have a small slate with only five games in action, but there are still some exciting games in store for us, so let's not waste any more time and dive right into some of my favorite picks. 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.

If you want to see the numbers behind our projections, create lineups with a single click, or research as deeply as your heart desires, click the button below to test out yourself. MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Cory Schneider FD - $8200 DK - $8100 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 14.96 DK - 3.74 This isn't an easy position today, but Schneider looks like the "safest" option as the Ducks are ranked third-worst offensively while scoring only 2.61 goals per game. The veteran tender has been sharp lately with a 2-0-1 record and only five goals allowed in those three games and he has a record of 5-2-1 in his last eight. The Devils should be fired up tonight as their superstar winger Taylor Hall will be back in action, so look for a Devils victory and fire Schneider up in your cash game lineups. Tuukka Rask FD - $8200 DK - $7700 Opponent - CBJ Proj Pts FD - 15.25 DK - 3.81 Here we have another veteran who has been sharp lately as he is 5-1-1 in his last seven games while allowing only 13 goals during that time. Tonight, the Blue Jackets and their 21st ranked offense(2.71 goals scored per game) travel to town and Vegas has the Bruins listed as -135 favorites to win. While I don't like targeting goalies in cash games when Sergei Bobrovsky is in the other net, I will be seriously considering Rask for my tournament lineups. CENTERS Nathan MacKinnon FD - $7800 DK - $6500 Opponent - PIT Proj Pts FD - 11.91 DK - 3.55 We have two elite centers in action today in Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby, but when we dig a little deeper, we find that this young superstar...
