GOALIE Pekka Rinne FD - $8700 DK - $7900 Opponent - DAL Proj Pts FD - 19.31 DK - 4.83 The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is having a solid start to the season with a 14-8-1 record while leading the league with a 2.15 GAA and his .925 save % is fifth best. The Predators open up after holiday break as -170 home favorites against the Dallas Stars who went into the break struggling losing six of their last eight games and rank 28th overall in road offense. Rinne is best used in cash games as the upside is somewhat capped as he only sees just over 28 shots per game and is in play on both sites but his best value most definitely comes on DraftKings where he is the 12th most expensive goalie. Matt Murray FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 20.97 DK - 5.24 If it's upside you are after, Matt Murray is exactly what you are looking for tonight. He missed nearly a month with a lower-body injury and since his return, he has won three straight starts while facing an average of 3.3 shots per game with a terrific .964 save % and a shutout. Tonight, the Penguins are huge -260 home favorites against a Red Wings team with a sub .500 road record(7-8-3) and went into the break losers of six of their last seven games overall. I do slightly prefer Rinne in cash games but could definitely make the case for Murray as well. CENTERS Steven Stamkos FD...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/20/18 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us another big slate with 12 games on the schedule including two teams(PIT, MON) playing on a back to back and third game in four nights. It appears we are also in store for another high scoring night with nine of the 12 games coming in with a Vegas Total of 6.0 or higher highlighted by the 7.0 total in the Leafs/Panthers game. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position and then grab a copy of my DFS NHL Cheatsheet where I highlight all my top picks and stacks along with a ton of advanced stats.

GOALIE Marc-Andre Fleury FD - $8800 DK - $8000 Opponent - NYI Proj Pts FD - 17.08 DK - 4.27 The goaltender position is pretty straightforward tonight, at least for cash games as we have a couple options who are big home favorites and playing well lately. I will start with Marc-Andre Fleury who, despite a lower save %(.897) lately, has won seven of his last 10 starts overall and has been much better on home ice this season with a 10-3-1 record and .928 save %. Tonight, he and the Golden Knights are big -192 home favorites against an Islanders team that has won three straight but is playing a third game in four nights out west on the road. All things considered, Fleury is my top cash game goalie and is also in play in GPP formats. Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 14.74 DK - 3.69 It has been an up and down season for goalie Bob who has allowed four or more goals five times but has also held opponents to two or fewer goals in three straight and 12 times total on the season. There is a high probability tonight will be one of the upside games as the Blue Jackets are home favorites against a Devils team that has lost 10 of their last 12 games overall and sit with the worst road record(3-11-3) in the entire NHL. Bobrovsky has only seen an average of 26.5 shots per game over the last...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/17/18 Welcome back hockey fans. Tuesday brings us a huge 11-game slate that includes three teams(ANH, NSH, NYI) who are playing on a back to back and third game in four nights. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position and then make sure to grab a copy of my DFS NHL Cheatsheet where I highlight all my top plays and stacks.

First time with MLB? Be sure to read our free MLB Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Mikko Koskinen FD - $8600 DK - $8100 Opponent - STL Proj Pts FD - 17.56 DK - 4.39 There are only two games on this big 11-game slate with a Vegas total of 5.5 so targeting a goalie in one of those matchups makes a ton of sense. It starts with Mikko Koskinen who after five years in the KHL returned to the NHL and signed with the Oilers and has been a key to their success. He comes into tonight with an 11-4-1 record, 2.18 GAA, and an impressive .928 save % with three shutouts. Tonight, the Oilers are -160 home favorites facing a Blues team that sits near the bottom of the conference standings and ranks 29th in road offense scoring just 2.17 goals per game away from St. Louis. All things considered, Koskinen is my top goalie in all formats tonight. Connor Hellebuyck FD - $8600 DK - $7900 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 17.04 DK - 4.26 I would normally have Hellebuyck as my top goalie of the night but he hasn't been as sharp this season. He is still racking up the wins(15-8-1) as the Jets lead the Western Conference standings and despite giving up four goals against the Lightning last start he still hit value making 43 saves against the Eastern Conference leaders. Tonight, he and the Jets are on the road both looking to extend win streaks(team at five straight and Helle at three straight) in Los Angeles against the league-worst Kings offense that is scoring just 2.18 goals per game overall. I am currently leaning Koskinen in cash games tonight but could definitely make the case for Hellebuyck in this spot as well. CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $7800 DK - $8000 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 22.29 DK - 6.4 Once again there are a ton of options...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/13/18 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings us a solid eight-game slate with just one team(DAL) playing on a back to back and one matchup between the Leafs and Lightning with a giant 7.0 Over/Under. 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 MLB optimizer and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Pekka Rinne FD - $9000 DK - $8400 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 14.23 DK - 3.56 There are some good goalies in great spots tonight and it starts with the defending Vezina Trophy winner, Pekka Rinne. He has won three of his last four starts allowing two or fewer goals in each and continues to lead the league in GAA(1.91) and save %(.932) and has been a major factor in the Predators ranking #1 in defense on the season allowing just 2.48 goals per game. The Canucks beat the Preds in Vancouver a week ago and have won three straight but still rank near the bottom of the league in offense(19th) and the Preds are the biggest favorites(-210) on the slate with the game in Nashville. The only downside here is that Rinne doesn't face a ton of shots capping his upside so I will be using him in cash games only tonight. Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $8400 DK - $7900 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 17.75 DK - 4.44 It has been a struggle for Bobrovsky this season as he sits with a sub .900 save % for the first time since the 2011-12 season. The good news is that the two-time Vezina winner has still flashed a ton of upside as he has allowed two or fewer goals in nine starts and gets one of the best matchups of the night. He and the Blue Jackets will face a Kings team that sit at the bottom of the standings(11-19-2) and rank dead last in offense and have been even worse on the road scoring just 1.7 goals per game. There is a ton of risk but Goalie Bob should be low owned and makes a perfect fit at his discounted price for GPP formats. Also Consider: Carey Price(MON) who faces a Hurricanes team that has dropped five of their last seven games while scoring just 10 goals in that time   CENTERS Jack Eichel FD...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/10/18 Tuesday brings us a big 10-game slate with jsut two teams(LA, DET) playing on a back to back and two more(BOS, OTT) playing a third game in four nights. Seven of the Top 10 teams in offense are in action and almost every elite player it seems like so expect some high-scoring games. 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 NBA optimizer and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Connor Hellebuyck FD - $8500 DK - $8300 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 20.53 DK - 5.13 After constant mentions of Hellebuyck a year ago, it has been mostly a love/hate relationship early in the 2018-19 season as he has been very inconsistent. The good news is that he has been better as of late winning four of his last five starts and his only loss was a 1-0 shutout against the Blues where he stopped 26 of 27 shots. He has also been much better at home going 8-4-1 and now gets a plus matchup against a surprisingly bad Blackhawks team that has lost seven straight and 18 of their last 21 games and now sits at the bottom of the standings. The Jets are -235 home favorites and Hellebuyck is my top overall goalie in all formats. **Update - Laurent Brossoit will start for the Jets tonight. He is GPP only on DraftKings but a nice value in all formats on FanDuel.** Tuukka Rask FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 11.43 DK - 2.86 Rask is another goalie I have had trouble mentioning on a consistent basis and not only because he has been somewhat inconsistent but he has been outplayed by backup Jaroslav Halak. The good news is that he has been better as of late and while the wins haven't been piling up he hasn't allowed more than three goals in a game since mid-October and the Bruins have the second-best home record in the Eastern Conference. The matchup also lines up tonight as they face a Coyotes team that ranks near the bottom of the league in offense(28th) and have been slightly worse on the road(2.5 goals per game). Rask is in play in all formats. CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $7700 DK - $7500 Opponent - LA...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/6/18 After a somewhat quiet Wednesday night, we are back with a very busy Thursday night that includes 11 games. 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 with advanced stats(via naturalstattrick.com) Now’s your chance to get DFSR PRO, which will give you access to our NBA optimizer and our new player lab!

We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Frederik Andersen FD - $9300 DK - $8500 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 14.71 DK - 3.68 When breaking down the elite teams in the league to this point, the Leafs are most definitely in the discussion at the top and in large part to their goaltending. Sure, the offense that ranks #2 overall has been huge but Frederik Andersen is having a career year as he leads all goalies in wins with 16, sits 7th in GAA(2.32) and have moved all the way up to 3rd with a .931 save %. The other thing that really stands out for fantasy purposes is the shot volume as he has faced 41 shots in three straight and an average of 33.5 per game on the season. Tonight he gets a plus matchup against the Red Wings who have dropped five of their last seven and rank 21st overall on offense for the season. Fire up Andersen in all formats once again tonight. **Update - Garret Sparks is starting for the Leafs. Pivot to Pekka Rinne in cash games   Adin Hill FD - $7700 DK - $7100 Opponent - WAS Proj Pts FD - 15.48 DK - 3.87 For GPP formats, Adin Hill presents a ton of value for a couple reasons starting with the value price in the $7K range on both sites. After a disappointing start for Tucson in the AHL this season(3.22 GAA, .871 save %), he was called up to Arizona and has quickly turned things around leading the Coyotes to four straight wins while allowing just two goals on 86 shots. He will likely be lower owned tonight as the Coyotes face the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals but they are a -110 favorite and Hill has already beat some good teams including Nashville and Minnesota. There is risk here but also a ton of upside at a projected low ownership and price which would...
