GOALIE Jaroslav Halak FD - $8200 DK - $8400 Opponent - NYI Proj Pts FD - 22.46 DK - 16.78 Despite the Bruins struggling lately, Halak sits atop the raw points projections tonight and I have to agree here. He is a part of a 60/40 split with Tuukka Rask and has been the better of the two lately coming off a 31 save win over the Panthers. I am speculating he will start tonight as Rask has allowed 3+ goals against in four straight but either way, both are in good spots here as the Bruins are -150 favorites at home where they have slightly better defensively allowing just 2.4 goals per game. The Isles also fit the splits narrative as they have scored about .8 goals per game less on the road. All things considered, Halak is my top goalie in cash games tonight. Darcy Kuemper FD - $8800 DK - $8200 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 21.21 DK - 15.86 The Wild are another team that has a wide gap when looking at their home/road splits. At home, they are ranked 3rd scoring 3.77 goals per game but on the road, they rank 19th scoring just 2.6 per game. That is good news for the Pacific division-leading Coyotes who are Top 5 defensively no matter where they play. Kuemper is likely to start with Raanta dealing with an illness and that is great news as he has been terrific lately going 6-2-2 in his last 10 games with a .933 save %. Halak is the chalk choice on FanDuel at a $600 discount ut on DraftKings it is dealer choice as both are in play in all formats. Also Consider: David Rittich(CGY) as an upside GPP play CENTERS Mark Scheifele FD - $7600 DK - $7200 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 18.31 DK - 14.17 The Jets are in a great spot tonight as a -190 home favorite in one of two games with a monster 6.5 total. On the season, they have been slightly better offensively on...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/17/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Tuesday brings us a huge 11-game slate that is filled with a ton of value allowing us to spend up almost anywhere. Let's dig in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position.

GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9000 DK - $8300 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 22.73 DK - 16.53 The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has been very up and down to start the season but is in a prime spot tonight and is our top goalie on both sites. He and the Bolts open as huge -290 favorites against a Senators team that is playing on back to back on the road and third game in four nights and despite scoring over three goals per game on home ice, they are scoring just 2.4 per game on the road. Vasi is in play in all formats but his best value comes on DraftKings where he is the fourth most expensive option. Carey Price FD - $8500 DK - $7500 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 16.04 DK - 11.85 The narrative is very similar for Price who is another former Vezina winner who has started off very inconsistent this season. He comes a bit cheaper than Vasilevskiy on both sites but is a slight underdog on the road as the Habs go into Vancouver to face the Canucks. The good news is the Canucks have struggled a but lately losing two straight and three of their last four while scoring just seven goals while Price has allowed two or fewer goals in four straight. I don't think we need to go here in cash games, but Price is an excellent GPP pivot tonight. Also Consider: Tuukka Rask/Jaroslav Halak(BOS) CENTERS Patrice Bergeron FD - $8200 DK - $7200 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 18.15 DK - 14.72 If you have the extra salary, Jack Eichel is my top raw points play on this slate with his insane numbers lately but for a more balanced build, we can not ignore Patrice Bergeron. He centers arguably the best line in hockey, comes in with 11 points and 41 shots in his last 10 games, and backs that shot volume up with 19.8 shot attempts per 60 on the season. The Kings have been...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/12/19 Welcome back hockey fans. After a somewhat quiet hump day, we are back with a monster 12 game slate so let's jump in and take a look at some core plays at each position. Want more?

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Connor Hellebuyck FD - $8600 DK - $8400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 22.26 DK - 16.55 Targeting goalies against the Red Wings has most definitely become a thing and is the main reason I start the article with a road goalie on Thursday. Detroit comes into tonight having dropped 12 straight and 24 of their last 28 games and rank dead last offensively scoring just 2.1 goals per game on the season. Then there is Hellebuyck who has been one of the best goalies in the league since the start of November going 9-2-2 with an elite .943 save % while facing an average of 33.5 shots per game. Put it all together and you have our top projected goalie and my favorite option in all formats. John Gibson FD - $7800 DK - $7900 Opponent - LA Proj Pts FD - 20.25 DK - 15.04 Gibson has been up and down to start the season which has kept his price down making him in play in these plus matchups. The Ducks open as -150 home favorites against the Kings who rank 29th overall on offense(2.5 goals per game) and have scored under two goals per game over their last seven. More good news as Gibson has also been much better on home ice with a .920 save %(.900 on the road) while facing over 31 shots per game. I prefer Hellebuyck in cash but if you need the savings for a top forward or D-man I would not talk you off Gibson in any format. Also Consider: Tristan Jarry(PIT) CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $8800 DK - $8100 Opponent - NAS Proj Pts FD - 23.72 DK - 19.05 Eichel's price has crept right up and is only slightly cheaper than McDavid on both sites and it makes sense as they are both averaging almost identical points per game on both sites. With the slight discount, Eichel is my top guy tonight and he...

GOALIE Ben Bishop FD - $9200 DK - $8300 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 21.75 DK - 16.32 We get a huge 12-game slate on Tuesday night but at the goalie position, one player stands out as the clear #1 option. Since losing five of his first six games to start the season, Bishop has been arguably the top goalie in the league winning 10 of 13 games with an elite .944 save % while facing an average of 32.4 shots per game. It gets better as the Stars open as -220 home favorites against a Devils team that has lost five straight and eight of their last 10 while scoring just 2.4 goals per game and rank 29th in road offense on the season. Bishop tops the raw points projections tonight is my top goalie in all formats. Antti Raanta FD - $8500 DK - $8200 Opponent - CGY Proj Pts FD - 20.41 DK - 15.43 With Bishop likely taking on a lot of ownership tonight, it opens up some pivots and there are plenty on this slate. One game I am focusing on is the Flames and Coyotes as it is one of just four games with a 5.5 total. Despite the Flames hot streak(five straight wins), the Coyotes and their #1 overall defense open as -140 home favorites as the Flames are on a back to back on the road and third game in four nights. Raanta is projected to start and despite losing back to back starts, he has been solid in the backup role posting a .926 save % and the Flames have also been much worse offensively on the road(1.8 goals per game) than on home ice(3.4 goals per game). Raanta can be considered in all formats but his best value comes on Fanduel where is our #1 PTS/$ play.  Also Consider: Laurent Broissoit(WPG) as a value GPP play on FanDuel facing the Red Wings who have lost 11 straight games and rank dead last on offense CENTERS Steven Stamkos FD - $8100 DK - $6700 Opponent - FLA Proj Pts FD - 18.4 DK - 13.89 Aleksander Barkov FD - $8000 DK - $7700 Opponent - TB Proj Pts FD - 17.9 DK - 13.75 Despite the Lightning playing on a back to back and...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/5/19 Welcome back hockey fans. Thursday brings a nice sized nine-game slate and I am going to go over some core plays at each position to help you build cash game and GPP lineups. Let's get started.

Be sure to read our free NBA Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $9100 DK - $8400 Opponent - CHI Proj Pts FD - 24.21 DK - 18.06 I wrote up Rask on Tuesday and while he didn't start, it was an easy pivot to Halak as Boston has the best 1-2 goalie combination in the league. Rask is projected to get the start again tonight and like I mentioned on Tuesday, he has been elite lately winning six straight while recording a .943 save % on 32.3 shots per game. The Bruins have yet to lose in regulation on home ice where they will be on Thursday night as -225 favorites against the Blackhawks who have dropped six of their last seven while scoring just 1.9 goals per game. Rask is in an elite spot tonight and my top goalie in all formats. Brian Elliott FD - $7600 DK - $8100 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.41 DK - 13.4 The Flyers have been on a tear lately winning five straight and six of their last seven games and a lot of the credit goes to the goalies. As a Flyers fan, I don't recall ever saying this before but here we are as Elliott has been tremendous lately winning three straight and four of his last five games while recording a .929 save % and facing a whopping 36.8 shots per game. The other good news here is that the Flyers have been terrific on home ice(9-1-4) and open as a -150 favorite against the Coyotes 18th ranked road offense. In cash games, I lean heavily to Rask on DraftKings but there is a case to be made on FanDuel where Elliott sits in the mid $7K range. Also Consider: Andrei Vasilevskiy(TB) in a great spot as a -225 home favorite against the Wild and their 22nd ranked road offense CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $8600 DK - $8000 Opponent - CGY Proj Pts FD - 22.58 DK - 17.87 If you have the extra salary, Nathan MacKinnon is once again an elite play but he is also playing a back to back on...
