MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIES Marc-Andre Fleury FD - $8700 DK - $8100 Opponent - TB Proj Pts FD - 19.85 DK - 4.96 Let's start off with the French-Canadian netminder who became the starter in Pittsburgh when Matt Murray went down with another injury. Well, young man you just may be warming the bench when you come back because Fleury has been scorching hot lately. The Penguins haven't played since Christmas Eve which is great for an older goalie so that he can rest his aches and pains. Fleury has won his last four starts while earning an awesome 1.79 goals against average with a shutout. The Lightning come into town to play their third game in four nights, so they will be very tired and they have only scored three goals in their last two games. Tampa is ranked ninth in the league on offense, but a big reason they are ranked so high was when Stamkos and Callahan were healthy. They haven't been good lately so look for Fleury and the Penguins to dominate this game today and Fleury is by far my favorite play in all formats. Corey Crawford FD - $8800 DK - $8000 Opponent - NAS Proj Pts FD - 18.72 DK - 4.68 It is going to be hard for me to get away from Fleury today, but if you feel that he will be highly owned (which I don't think he will be because Tampa Bay will scare people,) then Crawford is a great tourney play today against the Predators who are playing their third game in...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/7/17 Happy Saturday daily fantasy hockey fans! The first week of 2017 was busy with at least six games in each of the last four days and it continues today with 12 games including three afternoon matchups. You can play an early or main slate on both sites but if you are wanting to play the all-day slate you will have to head over to FanDuel. Looking at the entire slate there are seven teams playing on a back to back and four teams playing a third game in four nights. Here they are: With that, let's dig in and take a look at our top plays from the projection system. Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIES Early Slate Peter Budaj FD - $8500 DK - $7500 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 18 DK - 4.5 Budaj isn't confirmed at the time of writing this article but is expected to start after a game off on Thursday. He has been pretty good filling in for the injured Jonathan Quick with a 17-10-3 record to go with a .921 save percentage. He has been even better lately winning two straight games allowing just one goal total. The matchup isn't great but on a small slatethe salary relief is nice if you want the upside Lightning players in your lineup. Main Slate Cameron Talbot FD - $8800 DK - $7800 Opponent - NJ Proj Pts FD - 18.26 DK - 4.56 The Oilers head East tonight for a matchup against the Devils putting Cam talbot in a great spot to pick up a win. At the time of writing this there is no Vegas data released so things could definitely change but as of now, I would think the Oilers should be around a -140 favorite. They have actually been better on the road this year with a 11-6-5 record and while te Devils are...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/6/16
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/6/16 Hello hockey fans and welcome to a nice six-game NHL slate today. It's been an exciting year so far as we are nearing the halfway point of the season. We have the league's two worst defenses playing today as well as a few weak offenses and a few good offenses, so finding some nice value should not be a problem. Chicago, Carolina, and Nashville are the only teams playing in back to back games. Hang on because it's going to be a fun ride. 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! GOALIES John Gibson FD - $8600 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 12.55 DK - 3.14 To start things off we have a guy who has gone seven games without losing a game in regulation while giving up an average of only two goals per game during that span. He has won his last two games while facing a total of 74 shots. Wow that's impressive and last game he shut out the Red Wings at home where he will be facing the Coyotes and their 29th ranked offense this evening. There are only 30 teams in the league by the way and if Colorado wasn't as terrible as they are then Arizona would own the worst offense. Look for the Ducks to cruise to an easy victory tonight and Gibson is the top cash game play of the day. Thomas Greiss FD - $8400 DK - $7500 Opponent - COL Proj Pts FD - 14.67 DK - 3.67 If the Islanders were at home here then this guy would be right up there as the top cash game play. Actually, because Colorado is so bad everywhere they play, I think Greiss has some safety here. Where I do love him today though is for GPP's as Gibson should be highly owned tonight. The Islanders finally released Jaroslav Halak so now Greiss owns the crease in...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/5/17
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/5/17 Welcome back for another night of daily fantasy hockey with DFSR. Thursday brings us seven games with all home teams coming in as favorites once again. Even with six games last night there is only one team(DET) playing on a back to back. Let's dig in and take a look at some of the top value plays from the projection system. 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! GOALIES Corey Crawford FD - $8800 DK - $8100 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 19.25 DK - 4.81 The decision to roster Crawford in daily fantasy this season comes down to one thing. Play him at home! Looking at his splits, he is averaging close to 35% more fantasy points at home where he is 7-2-3 with an impressive .938 save percentage. He is already confirmed and the Blackhawks are the second biggest favorite(-190) on the slate. They get a plus matchup vs. the Sabres who sit at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings and don't provide much fire power ranking 28th overall in offense. Crawford is safe in all formats. Peter Budaj FD - $8400 DK - $7900 Opponent - DET Proj Pts FD - 17.62 DK - 4.4 Up next on the PTS/$ scale, when looking at the projections, is Peter Budaj who has been getting a ton of run while Jonathan Quick is out. He has been a key contributor to the Kings #6 ranked defense and has been really good lately winning two straight games and Budaj has not allowed more than two goals in a game since mid-December. The Kings are the biggest favorite(-205) on the slate tonight and get a matchup vs. a struggling Red Wings team who has lost eight of their last 11 games. I probably wouldn't consider him in cash games with Crawford in such a good spot but he makes an excellent high upside GPP play...
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/4/17
Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 1/4/17 Happy Hump Day DSFR friends! We have a nice six-game slate tonight with al six home teams coming in as favorites. A lot of that has to do with there being three road teams(WOG, MON, NYR) playing on a back to back. Let's not waste any more time and get 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! GOALIES Ryan Miller FD - $8100 DK - $8000 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 15.73 DK - 3.93 This is a tough position today but I believe after digging a little deeper that I have found a couple decent plays at the position. Basically, we are just going to pick on a couple of terrible offenses. Miller and the Canucks welcome the Coyotes and their 2nd worst offense to town and Vancouver has actually been playing some good hockey lately. The former Sabres star netminder has won his last three starts while giving up only five goals in that span. Arizona is simply a bad team and because the Canucks have been good lately I'm seriously considering Miller in cash games, and he makes a great play in GPP's today. Brian Elliott FD - $7700 DK - $8100 Opponent - COL Proj Pts FD - 16.49 DK - 4.12 Holy mackerel I didn't realize that Elliot and the Flames have been playing well until I started writing this piece. Elliot has won his last four starts and today he gets to face Colorado and their league-worst offense in his home barn. He's not a great goalie and not even much better than average, but the Flames are currently -190 favorites according to Las Vegas and because of the uncertainty he looks like he could be a decent play in all formats, but I said decent so don't be too upset if he puts up a stinker today because he is Brian Elliot, not Ken Dryden. ...
