MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE John Gibson FD - $8200 DK - $7700 Opponent - TOR Proj Pts FD - 17.63 DK - 4.41 Wow, is goalie ever an ugly position tonight, at least from a cash game perspective. I did my very best to try and find you the best option for cash games and I'll explain why I like Gibson today. First of all, the Leafs are on their dreaded west-coast road trip, which is from one extreme side of the continent to the other side of our massive continent. That affects the players in many ways and the Leafs lost 3-2 to the Sharks two nights ago and now they have to play in Anaheim. Gibson only allowed one goal in a victory in Tampa Bay last game to move his record to 5-4 and he has a save percentage of .921. Let's call Gibson the best of the worst today for your cash game lineups. Pekka Rinne FD - $8500 DK - $7800 Opponent - SJ Proj Pts FD - 14.36 DK - 3.59 This slate has a GPP feel to it and the Finnish superstar tender has been lights out lately. He has allowed two goals or fewer in his last six games and he has a record of 5-1-2 so far this season to go along with a .940 save percentage and a GAA of 1.86 which are both amazing numbers. The Sharks are ranked 23rd on offense, but since this is a road game for the Predators, the Sharks are currently listed as -140 favorites. I personally think that Rinne stands on his head (maybe not literally) and the Predators sneak out...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/31/17 Happy Halloween everyone and welcome to another day of NHL action here at DFSR. We have a tiny three-game slate today, but it's been an exciting year so far and look for that to continue. Let's get started with some picks. 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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Jimmy Howard FD - $8000 DK - $8200 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 17.98 DK - 4.5 We know our options are thin when a Red-Wings goalie is the best of the bunch. Well, it's a tiny slate and I'm actually rather comfortable rostering this wily veteran today. His opponent, the Arizona Coyotes are ranked 26th in the league with 2.50 goals scored per game and they have an awful record of 1-10-1. They actually earned their first victory last night in overtime, but to expect back-to-back road victories on consecutive nights is probably not a good idea. Howard had a fantastic outing last time out as he stopped 44 of 46 shots in a victory against the Panthers and he has only given up more than three goals in one out of nine starts. The Red Wings are listed as -185 favorites today and Howard is easily my top goalie play in every single format. CENTERS Mika Zibanejad FD - $7200 DK - $6700 Opponent - VEG Proj Pts FD - 13.97 DK - 4.12 This young man is easily the Rangers' best center and he skates on the #1 line and the #1 PP unit. He has two goals, two assists and 10 shots on goal in his last three games and tonight it looks like Vegas will have their emergency fourth-string goalie between the pipes. His name is Maxime Lagace and he was awful in the minors and in his NHL debut last night, he gave up four goals on 11 shots. Fire Zibanejad up in cash games and make sure you stack...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/30/17 Hello my fellow hockey fans and welcome to another day of NHL action here at DFSR. I'm excited today as Monday's are usually very quiet, but today we have an impressive eight-game slate in store for us. Let's not waste any more time and dive right into the picks shall we? 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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Sergei Bobrovsky FD - $9400 DK - $7800 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 20.83 DK - 5.21 The reigning Vezina Trophy winner has been sensational in his last two starts as he allowed only one goal in each victory. The Russian superstar has a 6-2 record to go along with a save percentage of .938 and a GAA of 1.86 which are both very impressive numbers. Goalie Bob and the Jackets welcome the Bruins and their 16th ranked offense to town tonight who have scored only three goals in their last two games. Bobrovsky looks matchup-proof right now and he's money on home ice which makes him an elite play in all formats. Jaroslav Halak FD - $7700 DK - $7200 Opponent - VEG Proj Pts FD - 18.43 DK - 4.61 After a shaky start to the season, the Slovakian net-minder has earned a victory in each of his last three starts. Although he did allow eight goals in those three starts, he faced a whopping 106 shots. The NHL's newest franchise, the Vegas Golden-Knights travel to New York tonight and they've been tearing up the league in their first year, which means that Halak is not a "safe" play, but he offers huge upside for GPP formats as the Islanders allow a whopping 33.5 shots per game. CENTERS Tyler Seguin FD - $8500 DK - $7600 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 15.91 DK - 4.71 I heard a sports broadcaster say the other day that this has been a slow start to...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/29/17 Welcome back hockey fans. Sunday brings us a very small three-game slate with three of the six teams(ANH, PIT, WSH) playing on back to back days on the road. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position. 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.

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! GOALIE The goalie position is where the toughest choice is going to come on Sunday and we may not have a clear indication of who is starting for most teams until late morning so I am going to give you a quick rundown of the possibilities. The first game gives us the only confirmed goalie thus far in Scott Darling of the Hurricanes but he is nothing more than a deep GPP option as he has struggled early in the season with a .899 save % as he has given up three or more goals in three straight starts. For the Ducks, it was John Gibson getting the start on Saturday night and picking up the win but playing on back to back days it is very likely we will see Ryan Miller making his season debut as he was activated off injured reserve on Saturday. For cash games, I would feel more comfortable if Gibson was starting as he has been solid thus far with five wins and a .921 save %. The next game also has some question marks as the Penguins are also playing on back to back nights on the road and it was Matt Murray getting the start and the loss last night. If he is back in goal, he would be right up at the top of my list with Gibson as top cash game options but it is likely we will see rookie Casey DeSmith who has called up on Monday after Antti Niemi was put on waivers after his disastrous start vs. the Capitals. DeSmith has been...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/28/17 Welcome back to another Hockey Night in Canada edition of our daily fantasy hockey picks. There is one afternoon game that features the Sharks facing the Sabres in Buffalo but for the purpose of this article, I will be concentrating on the 11-game main slate tonight. Of the 22 teams on the ice tonight, there are six(NJ, CBJ, STL, NSH, CHI, COL) playing on back to back nights and both the Blue Jackets and Blues are also playing their third game in four nights and will be facing off. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position. 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.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9500 DK - $8000 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 18.14 DK - 4.53 Once again my top goalie is the Lightning's Andrei Vasilevskiy. He has been an absolute workhorse this season as he is tied with Mike Smith of the Flames with 10 starts this season and has posted some tremendous numbers going 9-1 with 2.20 GAA and .936 save percentage with one shutout. Tonight he and the Lightning are big -175 home favorites as the Ducks come to town having won just one of three road games this season and sit in the bottom half of the league in offense to start the year. Vasilevskiy is my top play in all formats tonight. **Update - It appears Vasilevskiy will be getting the night off so for cash game I may turn to Quick(uncharacteristic on the road but he is elite. I will also be splitting splittig with Jake Allen(STL) due to this tough goalie slate.** Jonathan Quick FD - $9300 DK - $7900 Opponent - BOS Proj Pts FD - 15.16 DK - 3.79 If the Kings were at home it would be a lot tougher choice between Quick and Vasilevskiy as my top option. Of all the...
