MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9300 DK - $8400 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 20.44 DK - 5.11 Vasilevskiy is easily the top option at the position in all formats if he is back between the pipes for the Lightning. He has started all but one game this season and has been dominant with an 8-1 record and a .936 save percentage that sits #2 overall among goalies with five or more starts. Even after a few rough starts early where the offense backed him up, he has rebounded in a big way and has only allowed five goals against over his last five starts. Tonight he gets another top matchup as the Bolts are huge -220 home favorites facing a struggling Red Wings team that has lost five straight games. Vasilevskiy has reached a season-high salary on both sites but is still in play in all formats. Michal Neuvirth FD - $7400 DK - $7400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 14.48 DK - 3.62 If you are playing tournaments and looking for some upside and separation, consider Michal Neuvirth. He is the Flyers backup which helps keep his price in the mid $7K range on both sites and he has been terrific to start the season. Through three starts, he has allowed just four goals for a league-leading .957 save % but has fallen on some bad luck and lost two of those games. He sits as a GPP only play tonight as he draws another tough matchup on the road...

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Pekka Rinne FD - $8100 DK - $7800 Opponent - CGY Proj Pts FD - 17.75 DK - 4.44 After allowing eight goals in his first two games, the wily veteran has been nothing less than sensational in his last four starts while posting a very impressive .965 save %, a 0.99 GAA with a shutout. The Flames own the 4th worst offense in the league with only 2.50 goals scored per game and Rinne's record is currently 3-0 in his home barn. The veteran netminder has been absolute money on home-ice this season and he is an elite play in every single format this evening. Corey Crawford FD - $9300 DK - $7900 Opponent - VEG Proj Pts FD - 14.76 DK - 3.69 We all see and/or hear the news whether we want to or not. Vegas is down to their third-string goalie who I watched play the other night and he looked decent, but starting your first ever NHL game is an entirely different thing. I feel that this puts a lot less pressure on Crawford since his team should be able to score a few goals today. He is having a great start to the year as he has a 1.86 GAA and a .945 save % through seven games but because of the fact that the Hawks are on the road, I do not like targeting Crawford in cash game formats, but I believe that he is a solid GPP play this evening. CENTERS Jack Eichel FD - $7800 DK - $7000 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 14.81 DK - 4.26 Do you think that this guy has a chip on his shoulder after being drafted #2 behind Connor McDavid in the 2015 NHL draft? I do and he is proving to the league that he will be here to stay for a long, long time. The...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/21/17 Welcome back for another exciting day of hockey action. Saturday brings us two afternoon matchups but for the purpose of this article, I will be only covering the 10-game main slate. There are six teams(BUF, PIT, SJ, FLA, WSH, MIN) tonight who are playing on back to back nights with five of them on the road which could present some excellent fantasy opportunities. 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 Ben Bishop FD - $9100 DK - $7900 Opponent - CAR Proj Pts FD - 17.55 DK - 4.39 Bishop is exactly what the Stars needed to take the next step to get back to the playoffs. he had a down year last season with the Lightning and Kings as he dealt with injuries but has rebounded in a big way as he has gone 4-1 with a 1.93 GAA and .929 save %. The only hesitation in using him in GPP's is the upside has been somewhat limited as the Stars have been excellent at suppressing shots as Bishop has only faced 26 per game. The Stars are currently comfortable -135 home favorites which have him as my top cash game play of the night between the pipes. Corey Crawford FD - $9300 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 15.46 DK - 3.87 We can't talk about hot starts for teams looking to rebound without touching on the Blackhawks and Corey Crawford. Since winning the Stanley Cup in the 2014-15 season the Hawks were eliminated in the first round in back to back years and missed the playoffs altogether last season. With the help of Corey Crawford who has posted an elite .947 save % early in the season, they are back on track to get to the postseason. The Hawks are big favorites tonight(-155) on...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 10/20/17 TGIF hockey fans and welcome to another awesome day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a nice six-game slate ahead of us, so let's not waste any more time and get into my favorite picks of the day. 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 John Gibson FD - $8300 DK - $8300 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 15.76 DK - 3.94 We have to take advantage of every situation that we can possibly find in the world of daily fantasy sports and this is a perfect example. The Montreal Canadiens are an absolute mess right now and this will be their third west-coast game in four nights, which is a very tough task for an east-coast team. The Canadiens have scored only 1.43 goals per game so far which is by far the worst in the entire league and the Ducks are a respectable 14th in the league with 2.83 goals allowed per game. Gibson has a save % of .923 and has allowed two goals or less in his last four games. He is an elite play in all formats this evening. Chad Johnson FD - $7600 DK - $7600 Opponent - VAN Proj Pts FD - 17.63 DK - 4.41 The Sabres aren't great and I understand that, but they are improving and this a great situation for them to get a win tonight as the Canucks are playing in back-to-back road games. Buffalo is currently -165 favorites according to Vegas and the Canucks are ranked 26th in the league with only 2.50 goals scored per game. Johson did give up five goals in an overtime loss to the Golden Knights in his last start on the road, so he's probably better served as a GPP option only, but this just too favorable of a spot to ignore Johnson this evening. CENTERS Sidney Crosby FD - $9200 DK - $8100...

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Craig Anderson FD - $8300 DK - $7700 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 18.25 DK - 4.56 When it comes to the goalie position, my circle of trust does not extend very far this season, especially in cash games. Although he let us down in his last start, I am going back to the well with Anderson tonight who is already confirmed to start and sits as one of the biggest favorites on the slate(-150) as he will be on home ice vs. the Devils. Although the Devils have been scoring at will, they have never been known as an offensive force and this game is also favorited to play to the under giving Anderson a great shot to get his third win of the season. He also comes at a somewhat discounted price tonight in the second tier. Ben Bishop FD - $9100 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.23 DK - 4.56 While the Stars are the bigger favorites(-165) in the better matchup vs. the Coyotes, they are on the road which presents some risk leaving Bishop as a GPP only option for me tonight. Despite the Stars early struggles this season, Bishop has been excellent with his new team posting a 3-1 record, 1.49 GAA, and .944 save %. The other risk here is that the Stars have done a good job limiting the shots he has faced(25 per start) but could see more tonight as the Coyotes are averaging just under 31 per game and the current Over/Under is set at 6. Also Consider: Mike Smith(CGY) CENTERS Tyler Seguin FD - $8700 DK - $7900 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 18.3 DK - 5.54 All three of the top centers(McDavid & Stamkos the others) are on the road tonight and for cash games, I trust Seguin...
