GOALIE Frederik Andersen FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 19.79 DK - 4.95 Andersen is coming off one of his best seasons in NHL as he posted a career-high 38 wins and finished fourth in the Vezina Trophy voting. He starts the 2018-19 season on home ice and the Leafs are currently the biggest favorites on the slate(-230) against a depleted Montreal Canadiens team that saw Alex Galchenyuk traded to the Coyotes, Max Pacioretty traded to the Vegas Golden Knights, and star defenseman Shea Weber out till mid-December following offseason knee surgery. While Andersen wasn't elite last season(9.18 save %, 2.81 GAA), he did face a league-high 33.5 shots per game giving him a high floor and in this matchup, he also has the best odds of all goalies to pick up the win. Fire up Andersen in all formats on this small slate. Also Consider: Martin Jones(SJ) for GPP formats CENTERS Sean Monahan FD - $7300 DK - $5900 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 12.78 DK - 4.88 These smaller slates are a bit tricky when looking at it from a cash game perspective so I will be going a more balanced approach tonight starting with Sean Monahan. Despite the Flames struggles overall in 2017-18(37-35-10 record), the offense ranked 13th overall scoring 2.96 goals per game and was led by Gaudreau(84 pts) and Monahan(64) who are slated to start the year side by side on the top line. He also averaged just under three shots per game in and almost 19 minutes of ice-time giving him a nice floor and with a matchup against a projected weak team in Vancouver, he is safe in all formats. Stack with: Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm Joe Thornton FD - $5700 DK - $4300 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 9.1 DK - 3.38 Joe Thornton is back for his 21st season in the NHL and looking young...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/7/18
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/7/18 Hello hockey fans and welcome to another day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have 15 games on tap for us but for the purpose of this article, we will be focusing solely on the 14-game main slate on both sites. Even though there is one game tomorrow, this will be the last NHL slate for the regular season. It has been my pleasure writing for DFSR this year and I'm not sure anyone realizes how much fun I've had in doing so. I love the game of hockey and I hope everyone has enjoyed reading my articles. Until next time, my friends and let's get this party 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! GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $9100 DK - $8400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 19.13 DK - 4.78 Choosing a goalie is a tough proposition at the very end of the regular season but when we are searching for one, it is a good idea to roster one whose team still has playoff implications to consider. Rask has allowed seven goals in his last two games but he reeled off four wins in a row before that while allowing only six goals during that span. What really helps make Rask my top goalie this evening is the fact that the Sens are bad at hockey as they own the league's 25th-ranked offense and they just got shut out as I'm writing this. The Bruins need to win their next two games to become the Eastern Conference champions so look for them to dominate this game from puck drop. Fire up Rask in all formats, my friends. Jonathan Bernier FD - $7800 DK - $7900 Opponent - STL Proj Pts FD - 15.6 DK - 3.9 Even though I will be rostering Rask in 100% of my cash game lineups, we need to separate ourselves from the masses...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/5/18 Hello hockey fans and welcome to another exciting day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have 12 games on tap for us and there are still quite a few teams with playoff implications so let's not waste any more time and dive right into the 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 Connor Hellebuyck FD - $8400 DK - $8600 Opponent - CGY Proj Pts FD - 16.6 DK - 4.15 This position is tough this time of year as we are not quite sure who is going to start in goal for their respective team but after the Jets rested this guy last game, we can fully expect him to get the start this evening against the Flames, who have stopped thinking about playing hockey for the season. The Jets still have a mathematical chance of passing Nashville for the #1 seed in their division and Hellebuyck has been sensational this season as he boasts a terrific 42-11-9 record to go along with a .922 save %, six shutouts, and a 2.40 GAA. Hellebuyck is an elite play and easily my top goalie in all formats this evening. Antti Raanta FD - $8000 DK - $8100 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 15.74 DK - 3.94 The Coyotes are showing us that they will be a force to be reckoned with next season and for years to come and this young stud has reeled off six wins in a row where he has allowed only seven goals during that span. Raanta also owns an amazing 2.07 GAA and a .930 save % while playing for a team who has not had a good season and even though everyone and their ancestors will be focused on the Sedin brothers playing their last home game this evening, look for this guy to ruin the show. Raanta is my favorite GPP play against the...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/3/18
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/3/18 Hello hockey fans and welcome to another awesome day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a nine-game slate on tap and there are only a few nights left before the playoffs start so 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 - $9500 DK - $8600 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 14.02 DK - 3.5 Let's start the nine-game slate with Goalie Bob who is 9-1 in his last 10 starts and he has a sensational .933 save % and a 2.01 GAA in his last 19 games. He and the Jackets are on fire right now just in time for a chance at a long playoff run and he faces the Wings, who are ranked 28th offensively and he's already 2-0 against them while allowing only three total goals. The Wings will already have their tee-times booked for the spring so all things considered, Bob is an elite play and my top goalie in all formats. Keith Kinkaid FD - $8100 DK - $8300 Opponent - NYR Proj Pts FD - 15.74 DK - 3.94 This guy has taken over the starting job in New Jersey and he is an impressive 9-1-1 in his last 11 starts while allowing only 11 goals in his last five. The Devils still need another victory to secure a playoff spot so look for them to be fired up this evening and they should be able to dominate the Rangers and their 23rd ranked road offense from puck drop. Lock and load Kinkaid in all formats. Also Consider: Antti Raanta(ARI) Red hot lately but on road so GPP formats only. CENTERS Tyler Seguin FD - $8200 DK - $6900 Opponent - SJ Proj Pts FD - 16.24 DK - 4.76 The veteran superstar is definitely better on home-ice...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/2/18
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 4/2/18 Welcome back hockey fans. Tonight, we get a nice six-game slate as the playoffs are looming and soem teams have a ton to play for if they want to be a part of the post-season. 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! Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! 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 Roberto Luongo FD - $8300 DK - $8000 Opponent - CAR Proj Pts FD - 15.53 DK - 3.88 The playoffs are closing in and it's do or die time for the Panthers who sit seven points back of the final wild-card spot with two games in hand. Tonight, they will turn to Roberto Luongo who has been up and down lately but still holds a .922 save % over his last 10 games with two shutouts. The good news is that he and the Panthers have been much more successful on home ice and sit as -175 favorites as they face the Hurricanes who have already been eliminated from playoff contention and sit 23rd overall in offense. Combine that with the nice discount on both sites and we can roll out Luo safely in all formats tonight. Curtis McElhinney FD - $7800 DK - $8300 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 20.28 DK - 5.07 The Leafs will turn to McElhinney tonight on home ice where the Leafs are huge -290 favorites vs. the Sabres. He is coming off a loss in his last start vs. the Jets but has been playing very well recently going 7-1-1 in his last 10 games played with an elite .948 save % and two shutouts. The only issue here is that the backup tender is an expensive option on DraftKings which should help make him an under-owned GPP play but on FanDuel you can consider him as a salary relief option in cash games if you plan on loading up at other positions. CENTERS Auston Matthews FD - $7800 DK - $7300 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 16.96 DK - 4.83 After missing a month due to injury, Matthews returned to the lineup and picked up right where he left off. He enters tonight's game with a six-game point streak(seven points) and also tallied 18 shots on goal. What I like most tonight is that while both McDavid...
