GOALIE David Rittich FD - $8200 DK - $8200 Opponent - CAR Proj Pts FD - 13.86 DK - 3.46 The goalie position is ugly tonight on this five-game slate but we can't just leave it blank so buckle up! The Flames are the biggest favorite(-180) on the slate and despite this being the highest total(6.5), David Rittich stands out as the top goalie option. He has been easily the best goalie for the Flames with an 18-4-4 record, 2.49 GAA, and .917 save % and has been even better on home ice from a win/loss perspective as he has yet to lose in regulation(8-0-4) in the Saddledome. Carolina has been better as of late winning eight of their last 11 games but do rank 27th in overall offense and have been slightly worse than .500 on the road. Rittich is my top goalie in all formats tonight but can't say I am in love it pushing me more in a GPP direction tonight. CENTERS Connor McDavid FD - $9100 DK - $8000 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 19.53 DK - 5.72 I haven't mentioned McDavid much this season as I have been on a value train at the center position as of late. Tonight with the lack of high-end goaltending and lack of high-end centers I think it is crucial to get McDavid in our lineups. He is an absolute beast and comes in with 14 points in his last 10 games and is one of just six players who have topped 70 points on the season. He has also seen a bit of an uptick in shots lately with 30 in those last 10 games and also leads all forwards on this slate with 22.8 minutes of ice-time per game on the season. To top it off, he gets a terrific matchup against the Red Wings who have given up nine goals in their last two games and...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/17/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us seven games on the schedule with just one team(BOS) playing on a back to back but they also join the Blues and Wild as teams playing a third game in four nights.

GOALIE Robin Lehner FD - $8500 DK - $8300 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 18.74 DK - 4.68 I never in a million years would have thought of leading off an article with an Islanders goalie but here we are. Lehner is having a tremendous season and has been a major reason why the John Tavaresless Islanders sit third in their division at the moment. He comes into tonight red-hot with a 9-1 record over his last 10 games with an elite .951 save % and with that now leads the league in both GAA(2.16) and save %(.928) and only sits further down the list in wins(13) as he splits time with Thomas Greiss. Tonight, he and the Isles get a terrific matchup as -150 home favorites against a Devils team that is 5-16-3 on the road while scoring just 2.5 goals per game. The decision is a bit closer on DraftKings where Lehner is the most expensive option but on FanDuel he is a lock for me in cash games as the sixth most expensive option at the position. Devan Dubnyk FD - $8800 DK - $7700 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 19.52 DK - 4.88 I will preface this write up by saying Dubnyk is not having his best season as he is currently sitting with his lowest save %(.911) since the 2013-14 season. What brings him into the fold tonight is the matchup as the Wild are -180 home favorites as the struggling Ducks come to town having lost 12 straight games while scoring just 20 total goals(1.7 per game). As the third most expensive goalie on FanDuel, Dubnyk is easily just a GPP option tonight but...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/15/19
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/15/19 Welcome back hockey fans. We have another busy Tuesday in the NHL with 10 games on the schedule. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position and then be sure to grab a copy of my DFS NHL Cheatsheet where I highlight all my top plays and stacks. You can then head over and check out our brand new optimizer tool where you can construct up to 50 lineups with a ton of filters. Good luck!

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 14.74 DK - 3.69 The goalie position is a bit of a mess today so let's start off with the player and team in the best spot. Bobrovsky has been at his best this season with a .903 save % but has been racking up the wins with seven over his last 10 games and now has 19 on the season. Tonight he and the Blue Jackets are in a great spot as -200 home favorites against a Devils team with a poor 5-15-3 road record and the 28th ranked road offense. On top of that, the Devils are also playing on a back to back and third game in four nights. All things considered, Bob is my top goalie in all formats tonight. **Update - Joonis Korpisalo will be starting for the Blue Jackets tonight. He comes at a discount and can also be used in all formats. ** Robin Lehner FD - $8200 DK - $8100 Opponent - STL Proj Pts FD - 18.89 DK - 4.72 The Islanders have been making a move up the standings lately winning eight of their last 10 and 11 of their last 14 games and Robin Lehner has played a huge role in that success. Over his last 10 games, he has gone 8-2 and while he has only seen around 27 shots per game, he sits with an elite .941 save % and has recorded a shutout. The matchup is nowhere near that of Bobrovsky's as the Blues have been better as of late but the Islanders are -150 home favorites and the Blues haven't been great offensively this season ranking 22nd overall. Like Bobrovsky, Lehner is an option in all formats tonight. CENTERS Mathew Barzal...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/10/18
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/10/18 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday is a very busy night in the NHL with 12 games on the schedule so let's jump in and take a look at some of the core plays at each position. Then make sure to grab a copy of my DFS NHL Cheatsheet and then head over and check out our all-new NHL Optimizer tool where you can create up to 50 lineups.

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 - $9000 DK - $8100 Opponent - SJ Proj Pts FD - 16.38 DK - 4.1 There are two goalies that stand out above the rest tonight and I will start with Marc-Andre Fleury who is the cheaper of the two on both sites. He was my top goalie on Tuesday and he didn't let us down stopping 27 of 29 shots en route to beating the Rangers and has now won five straight and seven of his last nine starts while allowing over two goals just three times. Like I mentioned on Tuesday, Fleury has been elite on home ice with a 14-3-3 record, .928 save, and five shutouts. The upside with Fleury is somewhat capped if he doesn't get you the shutout as he is facing under 28 shots per game which makes him a better target in cash games with the win potential as the Golden Knights are -130 favorites. Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9300 DK - $8400 Opponent - CAR Proj Pts FD - 16.99 DK - 4.25 If it's upside you are after, Vasilevskiy is the way to go at the top of the salary as he has faced just shy of 36 shots per game over his last 10 games and face a Hurricanes team that leads the league with 36.3 shots for per game. It has been a roller coaster ride for Vasi lately as he has given up five goals three times in his last 10 games but has won eight of those with a .919 save % and is coming off a shutout of the Blue Jackets on Tuesday. Tonight, he and the Lightning are -200 home favorites against the Canes who rank 27th overall on offense making Vasilevskiy a nice play in all formats. CENTERS Tyler Seguin FD - $7800 DK - $7400 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 16.77 DK - 4.99 I...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/8/18
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/8/18 Welcome back hockey fans. After a somewhat slow Monday night the NHL brings us a huge 11-game slate tonight with tons of plays at every price range. Let's jump in and take a look at a few at each position and then be sure to grab a copy of my DFS NHL Cheatsheet where I highlight all my top plays and stacks with advanced stats.

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 - $9000 DK - $8200 Opponent - NYR Proj Pts FD - 18.21 DK - 4.55 There are plenty of goalies in good spots tonight and I will start with Marc-Andre Fleury who comes in having won four straight and has gone 7-0-3 with a .921 save % over his last 10 games. On the season, he has been elite at home with a 13-3-3 record, .928 save % and a whopping five shutouts. He now gets one of the best matchups on the slate as the Golden Knights are huge -260 favorites against a Rangers team that has scored just three goals in their last three games, is 6-12-2 on road and rank 25th in road offense scoring just 2.4 goals per game. All things considered, Fleury is my top goalie and a great play in all formats. Matt Murray FD - $8800 DK - $8200 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 18.2 DK - 4.55 If you are looking to ride the hot hand, look no further than Matt Murray of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Since returning from injury in mid-December, Murray has reeled off seven straight wins with an elite .962 save % and two shutouts all while facing over 33 shots per game. The only reason I list him as my second option tonight is that he and the Penguins face a Panthers team that ranks Top 10 in road offense for the season but I am not too concerned as the Pens are still -185 favorites. I like the win upside and safety a little more for Fleury but for GPP's I am absolutely sold on the upside Murray gives us tonight.

GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9300 DK - $8300 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 20.66 DK - 5.17 I don't normally like leading off with a goalie on the road but with a lack of options, it makes perfect sense tonight. The Bolts are currently the biggest favorites(-180) on the slate as they go into Los Angeles to face a Kings team that ranks dead last in offense scoring just 2.2 goals per game. Vasilevskiy also has good form coming into this game having won five straight and eight of his last 10 starts and not only has big win potential but also has a ton of upside as he has faced an average of 37 shots per game over those last 10 starts. He is the most expensive goalie on both sites tonight but easily the top choice in all formats. Fade at your own risk. Robin Lehner FD - $7500 DK - $7900 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 16.84 DK - 4.21 If you are planning on fading the Vasilevskiy ownership tonight, consider Robin Lehner in all formats. First of all, he is at home as a -160 favorite against a Blackhawks team that has struggled mightily this season sitting near the bottom of the standings and has been one of the worst road teams(7-12-2) in the entire league. Lehner has also been brilliant lately winning five straight games while stopping 140 of 143 shots(.979 save %). The best part about this pick is that Lehner is very cheap on both sites which allows you to load up on at the other positions. Also Consider: Carey Price(MON) who is back after injury and is a big -175 home favorite against a Canucks team that is playing on a back to back and third game in four nights, all on the road.
