GOALIE Darcy Kuemper FD - $8000 DK - $8300 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 22.47 DK - 5.62 As of writing this, the Coyotes are just one game behind the Avs(playing on Monday) in the Western Conference wildcard race. It has been almost all on the back of Kuemper as the offense has scored more than two goals in a game just once int eh last eight games. Kuemper, however, has posted shutouts in two of his last three starts and has a .950 save % over his last 10 starts. Tonight he gets a terrific matchup as a -220 home favorite against a Kings team that ranks 30th in road offense and has been out of the picture for a while now. Fire up Kuemper in all formats. Pekka Rinne FD - $8300 DK - $7900 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 21.2 DK - 5.3 On FanDuel, it is Kuemper with the discount but on DraftKings I like Rinne who is $400 cheaper tonight. He has been very up and down overall but is enjoying a nice stretch lately allowing one or fewer earned runs in four of his last five starts. While on the road again tonight, he gets a terrific matchup against a Sabres team that has fallen off the map losing seven straight and 14 of 16 since the start of March. There is an argument to be made that Rinne is the top goalie on this slate in all formats. Dallas Stars Opponent - vs. PHI Moneyline - DAL(-180) Vegas Total - 5.5 Team Projection - 3.5 This matchup gives us two teams going in opposite directions at the moment. The Stars hold the #1 wildcard spot in the West at the moment while the Flyers have been recently eliminated from playoff contention. The other thing that stands out here is that the Stars have been better offensively at home while the Flyers are just bad defensively no matter the area. They come into tonight having lost four of...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/28/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us an eight-game slate that is split with four games with a 6+ Vegas total and four with a 5.5 total. Let's dig in and take a look at some situations we can attack.

GOALIE Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $9000 DK - $7600 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 20.33 DK - 5.08 Bobrovsky currently tops our projections and it makes sense for a couple of reasons starting with the weak goalie options on this slate. Not to be overlooked is how well he has been playing lately either with wins in four of his last five starts with three shutouts. Then there is the matchup which will have a playoff atmosphere as the Habs currently hold a two-point lead in the wildcard but the Blue Jackets have a game in hand. I am expecting a low scoring game and with a mid $7K price tag on DraftKings, Bob is my top goalie in all formats. Also Consider: Connor Hellebuyck(WPG), Jacob Markstrom(VAN) San Jose Sharks Opponent - vs. CHI Moneyline - SJ -220 Vegas Total - 6.5 Team Projection - 3.9 No team has been more streaky than the Sharks down the stretch who have followed up a six-game winning streak with a six-game losing streak. Great spot for them to get back on track against a Blackhawks team that ranks 30th overall on defense and who they have already beaten 7-3 and 5-2 this season. Timo Meier FD - $5800 DK - $6600 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 16.63 DK - 4.73 Logan Couture FD - $7300 DK - $6500 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 14.73 DK - 4.25 Marc-Edouard Vlasic FD - $4300 DK - $4700 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 10.49 DK - 3 When it comes to the Sharks, Timo Meier has been at the top of my list for a while as he checks off all the boxes. It starts with his floor as he is averaging 11.4 shots per 60 with an elite 20.2 iCorsi/60 and he has transformed that into a career year with 62 points. Logan Couture is my top player to pair him with in cash games as we are unsure about the status of Joe Pavelski. I would also consider Gustav Nyquist should...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/26/19
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/26/19 With about a handful of games remaining in the regular season, the playoff races are heating up with a ton on the line every shift. Let's dig in and look at some of the core fantasy plays at each position for this seven-game slate. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NHL optimizer! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NBA? Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Carey Price FD - $9200 DK - $8000 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 20.1 DK - 5.03 It has been ride or die with Price and the Habs down the stretch as he is slated to make his ninth straight start tonight. He has come up with a couple of stinkers but overall he has been terrific lately holding opponents to two or fewer goals in 14 of his last 17 starts while recording a .921 save %. Tonight, he and the Habs are big -185 home favorites against a Panthers team that is playing on a back to back and third game in four nights. The decision is a little closer on FanDuel where Price is over $9K but on DraftKings he is easily my top goalie in all formats. Mikko Koskinen FD - $7800 DK - $7900 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 20.23 DK - 5.06 For cash games, it just makes sense to pay up the $100 on DraftKings and roll with Price but on FanDuel it makes sense to consider Koskinen at a $1,400 discount. Sure he has been up and down lately giving up four or more goals three times in the last 10 games but the matchup is prime against a Kings team that ranks 30th overall on offense. Koskinen has also been much better on home ice this season with a 13-7-2 record with .920 save % and three shutouts(10-11-3, .896 save % on road). Also consider: Jacob Markstrom(VAN) in a great spot at home against the Ducks 31st ranked offense CENTERS Connor McDavid FD - $9200 DK - $8300 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 20.47 DK - 5.94 It's a "pay up at center" kind of slate and I will start with one of the best in the game, Connor McDavid. The Oilers playoff chances have slipped lately(8 points behind WC2) but in no way has it been McDavid's fault. Since the start of February, he has posted 35 points in 22 games which includes 13 multi-point...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/21/19 Buckle up as we have a very busy night in daily fantasy hockey with 12 games on the schedule as the season starts to wind down. Let's jump in and take a look at some top goalies, teams, and players to target to help you cash. Then make sure to check out our projections and lineup optimizer.

GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $9100 DK - $8300 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 21.13 DK - 5.28 I normally don't start with a road goalie but I absolutely love the spot for Rask and the Bruins tonight. They have won seven of their last 10 games and sit as the #2 seed in the Eastern Conference standings and now get one of the best matchups on the board. They face a Devils team that has lost eight of 10 in March while scoring just 21 goals, 10 of which came in a two-game span. Rask is coming off a shutout win over the Islanders and while he has been up and down he has held opponents to two or fewer goals six times in his last 10 games. The Bruins are -265 favorites tonight and Rask is in play in all formats. Jordan Binnington FD - $8500 DK - $7900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 23.07 DK - 5.77 If you are looking to go the value route at goalie, consider rookie Jordan Binnington. He may be one of the biggest surprises of the 2018-19 season as he has been terrific through his first 25 NHL starts. He has not only picked up 18 wins to this point but has also impressed with an elite .930 save % and five shutouts. Tonight, he and the Blues are huge -370 home favorites but he is still best for GPP as the Red Wings have their best player in Dylan Larkin back in the lineup and they are 2-0 since then. Also consider Mike Smith(CGY) who has an elite matchup at home against the Senators Calgary Flames Opponent - vs. Ottawa Senators Moneyline - CGY -375 Vegas Total - 6.5 Team Projection - 5.1 The Flames are closing in on locking up the #1 seed in the Western Conference and it never hurts when you get a matchup against the worst team in hockey. With a...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/19/19 Welcome back hockey fans. It's time to get ready for a busy Tuesday on the ice as we have 10 games on the schedule.

GOALIE Braden Holtby FD - $9000 DK - $8300 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 20.96 DK - 5.24 Despite the huge slate tonight, I am less than thrilled with the goalie options. I will start with Braden Holtby who is, by no means, having his best season overall but has been better lately winning seven of his last 10 starts with a .917 save % and one shutout. During that time, he has only faced 28.8 shots per game but on the season has faced over 30 so there is some upside here tonight. Adding to the upside is the terrific matchup Holtby and the Caps get as they face a Devils team that has dropped eight of their last 10 games and rank 22nd overall on offense. Holtby is in play in all formats. **Update: Phoenix Copley will start for the Caps tonight and can also be considered in all formats** Carter Hart FD - $7800 DK - $8100 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 17.19 DK - 4.3 After Holtby, I turn my attention to the Flyers rookie who will be between the pipes tonight at home vs. the Canadiens. The Flyers are just small -115 favorites but face a Habs team that is struggling down the stretch having dropped four of their last five games scoring just eight total goals. Hart spent some time on IR and after struggling in his first game back, rebounded in a big way on Sunday stopping 41 of 42 shots in a 2-1 shootout win over the rival Penguins. For just $200 more on DraftKings, I will likely just roll with Holtby but on FanDuel Hart makes ton of sense in the sub $8K range. CENTERS Tyler Seguin FD - $7900 DK - $7200 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 0 DK - 0 There are a ton of options at the center position tonight but what stands out is that the Top 8 on both sites are all on the road. Then...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/12/19
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 3/12/19 We are now less than a month away from the end of the regular season and playoff races are heating up putting emphasis on every shift from here on out......for most teams. Tuesday night in the NHL brings us a big eight-game slate with the feature matchup between Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals and Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top goalies, teams, and situations to target and then be sure to check out our projection system and lineup optimizer.

GOALIE Mike Smith FD - $7900 DK - $8400 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 23.14 DK - 5.79 David Rittich FD - $8000 DK - $8400 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 21.75 DK - 5.44 The Flames are still waiting for one of these goalies to take the rein's as the #1 guy and at this point, it is unclear who will get the start on Tuesday so I will list both. Both guys have been merely average lately with Rittich having the edge in save %(.911) on the season. Whoever gets the starts tonight gets a terrific opportunity to add their numbers as the Flames are huge -385 favorites against a struggling Devils team that has dropped six straight while scoring just seven goals and for the season, they own a league-worst 8-23-3 road record and rank 25th in road offense. All things considered, the Flames goalies are at the top of the list in all formats tonight. Jordan Binnington FD - $8800 DK - $7800 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.49 DK - 4.62 Binnington has been one of the best stories in the league this season as he comes into tonight with 16-3-1 record since being called up in the middle of December. He and the Blues are -200 home favorites tonight and the only reason he comes in as my second option tonight is the matchup. Against the Coyotes, you say? That's right, Arizona has been terrific lately winning eight of their last 10 games and entered last night just one game out of a wildcard spot in the Western Conference playoff picture. The good news for Binnington and the Blues who are holding on to a four-point lead for the #3 seed in the Central is that...
