GOALIE Curtis McElhinney FD - $8200 DK - $7900 Opponent - NYR Proj Pts FD - 18.99 DK - 4.75 Buckle up ladies and gents! If you thought goalie has been a mess a lately, starting off with McElhinney probably won't shock you. Looking at the landscape of the position Matt Murray and Pekka Rinne have come down to Earth lately and both play on the road tonight, Andre Vasilevskiy will be taking a seat as the Bolts are on a back to back on the road and while Devan Dubnyk is in a great spot at home vs. Anaheim, he has been terrible lately. That leaves us Curtis McElhinney who will never be in the conversation as one of the league's elite goalies but has a lot going for him tonight. He has been terrific lately winning eight of his last 10 starts with a .923 save % while facing 30 shots per game. He and the Canes are also -210 home favorites tonight against a rebuilding Rangers team that has struggled on the road(10-16-2) and rank 22nd in overall offense on the season. All things considered, McElhinney is my top goalie tonight in all formats. Carter Hart FD - $8400 DK - $7500 Opponent - TB Proj Pts FD - 12.78 DK - 3.19 Kevin Boyle FD - $7200 DK - $7200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 11.14 DK - 2.79 From a GPP perspective, you can almost go in any direction tonight but I am very intrigued by these youngsters having great starts to their careers. Carter Hart has won nine of his last 10 starts and through his first 20 starts already has 13 wins while posting an impressive .924 save%. The matchup is not great as the league's #1 team travels to Philly tonight but he should be very low owned, face a ton of shots, and have some win potential given the Bolts are running out their backup goalie, Louis Domingue. Kevin Boyle...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/15/19 Welcome back hockey fans and those basketball fans who will be tailing along during the NBA AllStar Break. We have a smaller four-game slate tonight but lots of relevant fantasy plays so let's dig in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position. After that, make sure to check out our projection system and lineup optimizer and if you have any questions make sure to hit me up in the DFSR Chatroom. 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 Jaroslav Halak FD - $8400 DK - $8100 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 15.01 DK - 3.75 The goalie options are very limited on this small slate but the one who stands out above the rest is Jaroslav Halak who has already been confirmed. He is coming off a huge win against the Avs in which he saved 35 of 36 shots he faced pushing his save % up to .921 on the season. He now faces a Ducks team that has fallen off the map recently losing 19 of their last 22 games while averaging under two goals per game. All things considered, Halak is my top goalie in all formats tonight. Also Consider: Alex Stalock or Devan Dubnyk(MIN) in GPP formats against a Devils team that is playing on a back to back and third game in four nights and have struggled on the road all season CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $8000 DK - $7600 Opponent - NYR Proj Pts FD - 16.35 DK - 4.79 An upper-body injury held Eichel out of three games at the start of January and while he was held off the scoresheet in his first three games back, he has been red-hot since. He comes into tonight with points in nine of his last 10 games with three multi-point efforts pushing him over the 60 point threshold for the second straight season. Eichel also provides a high floor for cash games with an 11.7 shots/60 and 18.5 iCorsi/60 on the season and faces a Ranger team that ranks 30th in road defense allowing four goals per game. Eichel will be a building block for me tonight in all formats. Stack with: Jeff Skinner, Jason Pominville Sebastian Aho FD - $7300 DK - $7300 Opponent - EDM Proj Pts FD - 16.5 DK - 4.77 Aho is another player I have...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Strategy for FanDuel & DraftKings Hello hockey fans. I have had many requests for an article to go over my strategy for cash games and GPP's and how they differ. I have also been asked many questions about my daily cheatsheet and some of the advanced stats that are provided and how they can help us make informed decisions when constructing lineups. Well, the time has come so let's get started. 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!   First of all, I wanted to touch on some of the websites I use on a daily basis to view line combinations, starting goalies, get advanced stats, and much more. You are doing yourself an injustice if you are not constantly monitoring LeftWingLock or DailyFaceoff. Both sites provide up to date lists of every team's line combinations at all strengths, projected and confirmed starting goalies with links to sources, weekly schedules, injury news, and much more all for FREE. You can also choose to upgrade to a paid service for DailyFaceoff that gives you access to a lineup optimizer, premium chat, and more. For LeftWingLock, you can pay around $3 a year for their smartphone app which gives you all the same information including notifications. For advanced stats, I recommend using Corsica which offers a ton of next level statistics at the team and player level. Last but certainly not least is Hockey Reference which gives you free access to almost any stat imaginable for any player or team in the history of the NHL. Cash Game Strategy A cash game is defined as a contest where around 50% of the field is paid out. It includes 50/50 contests, double-up contests, and head to head contests. The first thing to realize when playing cash games is that you are playing for the long term and really need to be disciplined in your strategy. I am not saying don't ever make adjustments to your strategy...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/14/19 Happy Valentines Day hockey fans. As a gift, the NHL is giving us a huge 11-game slate on Thursday night so let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position. After that, make sure to check out our projection system and lineup optimizer and if you are not a DFSR member yet, get your free trial today.

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9400 DK - $8300 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 19.75 DK - 4.94 Despite there being 11 games on the schedule, no one goalie jumps off the page as the #1 option so I will be paying up for the biggest home favorite tonight. Vasilevskiy and the Lightning are -190 favorites tonight and while he isn't having his best season he is still fourth in save %(.925) and second in shutouts(4). Outside of Tyler Seguin, the Stars have struggled offensively this season especially on the road where they have scored just 15 goals in their last seven road games going back to the start of January and rank 29th in overall road offense. The win potential is high and the upside is also there as Vasi is facing over 31 shots per game on the season. He is my top goalie in both sites and in play in all formats. Jordan Binnington FD - $8000 DK - $7800 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.72 DK - 4.68 What stands out here is that Binnington's price continues to sit in the value range despite his tremendous start to his rookie campaign. He made it into lineups on Tuesday and while he didn't face a ton of shots(23) he made 20 saves for his sixth straight victory giving him a 10-1-1 record on the season with impressive 1.82 GAA and .927 save %. The Coyotes have been better recently scoring eight goals during their last two games but overall have struggled scoring just 2.6 goals per game on the season(28th). Binnington is our top PTS/$ option in net tonight and if you are trying to load up on skaters, he makes a great play in all formats. CENTERS Dylan Larkin FD - $7200 DK - $7100 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 18.62 DK - 5.34 After sitting out with a strained oblique muscle, Dylan Larkin...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/12/19 It's time to get ready for a busy night in the National Hockey League with 12 games on the schedule. Let's dig in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position and then be sure to check out our projection system and lineup optimizer to help you cash on DraftKings and FanDuel. 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 Marc-Andre Fleury FD - $8600 DK - $8200 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 21.75 DK - 5.44 There are currently five teams who are -200 or greater home favorites tonight and for my top goalie, I will start with one of the two of them that also has a low 5.5 Vegas Total. Fleury is coming off a loss where he gave up four goals but has been fantastic on home ice this season with a 15-7-3 record, .921 save %, and 5 shutouts. He now gets a plus matchup against a Coyotes team that ranks 28th overall on offense and that he has already beaten twice this season saving 48 of 51 shots he has faced. Fire up Fleury in all formats on Tuesday. Connor Hellebuyck FD - $8500 DK - $8100 Opponent - NYR Proj Pts FD - 19.23 DK - 4.81 I have mentioned it many times that this has not been Hellebuyck's best season but he still provides a ton of upside. We saw it in his last start where he faced 36 shots, saving 35 of them in a 3-1 win over the Sabres. The shot totals are nothing new as he has faced 35.6 shots per game over his last 10 games and while his save % is slightly better on the road the Jets overall have been a beast at home with a 20-6-3 record. They now face a Rangers team that ranks 27th on offense and have the third-worst road record(9-14-2) in the league. I don't quite trust Hellebuyck in cash but think his upside makes him a fantastic GPP play tonight. CENTERS Sebastian Aho FD - $7300 DK - $7300 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 16.47 DK - 4.78 If you have the salary to make it work, Patrice Bergeron is the pay up option at the position but I will be again taking a more balanced approach tonight, at least in cash games. It starts with Sebastian...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 2/9/19 Welcome back hockey fans. After just one game on Friday night, we have a monster slate on Saturday that includes 14 games in total. The day starts with an early seven-game slate followed by a six-game main slate with one game in the middle that is only included on the all day slate on FanDuel. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position. Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NHL optimizer!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Early Carter Hart FD - $8700 DK - $8100 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 20.08 DK - 5.02 Not only has Carter Hart earned his place among the top rookies but he is also looking like one of the best goalies in the league lately. He comes into this afternoon's matchup having won seven straight and eight of his last nine starts while posting a .935 save % while facing an average of 35.8 shots per game. The price is rising fast but I am willing to pay up today in a terrific matchup against the Ducks who have lost six straight and 18 of their last 20 games while scoring two or fewer goals 14 times. Fire up Hart in all formats. Also Consider: Tuukka Rask(BOS) who has been equally as good lately winning eight of his last 10 starts while posting a .947 save % Main David Rittich FD - $8300 DK - $8000 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 12.17 DK - 3.04 Goalie is a lot tougher on the main slate with Fleury, who I love at home, in a tougher matchup against the Blue Jackets, Holtby is the most expensive option and hasn't been great lately(.901 save % last 10), and Vasilevskiy faces a Crosby-led Penguins team. Instead, I will turn to David Rittich who has been terrific(20-4-4/.916 save %)  for the Flames who lead the Western Conference standings. While he doesn't face a ton of shots(30 shots/60) but has been consistent in holding opponents to two or fewer goals in 17 of his 32 starts this season. At the slight discount and plus matchup against the Canucks, Rittich is my top goalie on the slate in all formats. Also Consider: Frederik Andersen(TOR) in GPP formats, especially on DraftKings in the sub $8K range CENTERS Early Jack Eichel FD - $7800 DK - $7500 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD...
