Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/30/17 Welcome back hockey fans. It's a bit slower Saturday than we are used to with just six games tonight but definitely not short of excitement. There are six teams(OTT, NJ, CAR, STL, NSH, MIN) playing the second of a back to back and all but Florida and Los Angeles are playing a third game in four nights. Let's jump in and take a look at some of the top plays at each position for this small slate. Hockey is back and with it come our NHL projections which help inform these picks every night.

MAKE NHL and NFL LINEUPS NOW! GOALIE Tuukka Rask FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 14.36 DK - 3.59 It's an unusually small slate for a Saturday but we have some decent goalie options to sift through. It starts with Tuukka Rask who has been red hot lately winning four straight games allowing just five total goals and has completely turned his season around after a slow start and now sits with 23 wins and a .920 save %. He also gets an elite matchup vs. a struggling Sens team that ranks 28th in offense so fire up Rask with confidence in all formats.   Also Consider: Carter Hutton(STL)   CENTERS Patrice Bergeron FD - $7300 DK - $7200 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 14.8 DK - 4.48 Riley Nash FD - $3900 DK - $3400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 8.03 DK - 2.37 Center is a tough position tonight with no elite options so I will turn to Patrice Bergeron who has bordered that tier lately. Over his last 10 games, he has provided an elite floor with 44 shots and also flashed upside with seven points including three multi-point efforts. Considering he gets a matchup vs. a struggling senators team that ranks 28th defensively, Bergeron is safe In All formats.  If you are looking for some value, stick in the same game on the same team...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/29/17 Welcome back to another exciting day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a huge 11-game slate in store for us with only five teams playing in a back-to-back(Tor, Phi, TB, Chi, Cgy) so there will be a lot of well-rested teams in action this evening. Let's take a look at some of my favorite 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 Cory Schneider FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - BUF Proj Pts FD - 15.03 DK - 3.76 It's not that I like picking on Buffalo, but when their team is this bad, I have no choice. The Sabres are ranked dead last in the league with only 2.16 goals per game and they are about to face one of the hottest goalies in the league right now in Corey Schneider. The veteran tender has won five games in a row and is 6-0-1 in his last seven games to go along with a sensational .937 save %, and a 1.83 GAA in that span. The Devils are tied for first with the Capitals in the Metropolitan Division and look for them to keep on trucking this evening against a lowly Sabres squad. Schneider is an elite play and my top goalie in all formats. Peter Budaj FD - $7900 DK - $8100 Opponent - PHI Proj Pts FD - 14.53 DK - 3.63 Andrei Vasilevksiy and the Lightning just defeated the Canadiens 3-1 as I'm writing this, so the Slovakian veteran will most likely get the start this evening against the Flyers as both teams will be in a back-to-back scenario. The Lightning should be a massive favorite this evening against Philly who are playing their second road game in consecutive nights and they're ranked 22nd defensively. Budaj hasn't been great this season, but he still has a 3-2-1 record and while Schneider will be in 100% of my...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/28/17 Hello my fellow hockey fans and welcome back to another day of NHL action here at DFSR. Today, we have a seven-game slate in store for us with three teams playing in a back-to-back(MON, ARI, VEG), so there will be some matchups for us to take advantage of. Let's get started with some of my favorite 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.

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 Andrei Vasilevskiy FD - $9500 DK - $8300 Opponent - MON Proj Pts FD - 14.87 DK - 3.72 The Lightning obviously knew what they were doing last season when they traded away Ben Bishop as this young man is having one heck of a season so far. The young Russian tender earned a shutout last game to give him two in his last five, he has won seven of his last eight games and is ranked first with 23 wins, second with a 2.13 GAA and second with a .932 save %. It should be a routine walk in the park for the Lightning tonight as the Canadiens and their 25th ranked offense travel to Tampa where they historically do not fare well and they are losing in Carolina as I write this. With all of these important things considered, Vasilevskiy is an elite play and easily my top goalie in all formats. Frederik Andersen FD - $8600 DK - $8400 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 14.67 DK - 3.67 This guy will be licking his chops this evening as he and the Leafs travel to the desert to take on the Coyotes and their second-worst offense. The veteran tender has had a solid year so far as he is ranked third in the league with 19 wins and he has won his last two games while allowing only three goals, and he has won six of his last eight. While Vasilevskiy will be in 100% of my...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/27/17 Hello hockey fans and welcome to an exciting day of NHL action here at DFSR. After a three-day Holiday break, we have a massive 11-game slate this evening and obviously all teams will be well rested, so it should make for a lot of fast-paced action. We have a few weak defenses to pick on as well as some high-scoring offenses to target, 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 Tuukka Rask FD - $8400 DK - $8400 Opponent - OTT Proj Pts FD - 14.35 DK - 3.59 The former Stanley Cup Champ has been nearly equivalent to a brick wall lately as he has reeled off three wins in a row while allowing only four goals and he has a magnificent 8-0-1 record in his last 10 games. After a terrible start to the season, he has now brought his GAA all the way down to 2.28 which is fifth best in the league and I simply cannot see the Senators and their 23rd ranked offense(2.75 goals per game) having much of a chance this evening against a talented Bruins squad. With all of these things considered, Rask is an elite play and my top goalie in all formats. Semyon Varlamov FD - $7600 DK - $7600 Opponent - ARI Proj Pts FD - 14.11 DK - 3.48 If we want to win a tournament or two(I think that is the idea), then we need to separate ourselves from the competition and choose a goalie who is in a good matchup but should be lower owned. Enter "Varly" who is a very talented goalie that plays on a team who has had a lot of growing pains, but finally seems to be heading in the right direction. The Russian tender is 3-0-1 in his last four games while allowing...

Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings 12/23/17 Welcome back to a jam-packed Saturday and the last day of hockey before the Christmas break. Today starts off with two afternoon games with the Red Wings visiting the Bruins and the Jets visiting the Islanders but for the purpose of this article, I will be turning my attention to the 13-game main slate starting at 7:00 p.m. ET tonight. There are seven teams(ARI, MTL, WSH, MIN, PHI, FLA, BUF) playing on a back to back, two teams(CBJ, STL) playing a third game in four nights and four teams(PHI, ANH, BOS, CBJ) who are playing their fourth game of the week. Let's jump in and see if we can exploit any of these matchups as I will be breaking down my 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 - $8400 Opponent - MIN Proj Pts FD - 17.84 DK - 4.46 Fire up Vasilevskiy as your #1 goalie tonight in all formats. He leads the league with 22 wins on the season and sits third in GAA(2.20) and Save %(.931) and while there are no odds out at the time of writing this, the Bolts will likely be big favorites at home vs. the Wild playing on a back to back on the road. He not only comes with a nice floor with the leagues #1 offense and #4 defense in front of him, but also presents some upside as he faces over 30 shots per game. Matt Murray FD - $8800 DK - $8000 Opponent - ANA Proj Pts FD - 16.25 DK - 3.85 Murray is at home and the Penguins are very likely to be big favorites tonight but Murray very hard to call a safe play. He has been shaky all season with a .908 save % and has gone 2-2 since his return from injury but is in a great spot...
