Image courtesy of DraftKings Line-Up Breakdown: The Oilers have the most explosive offense in the NHL and as long as they are in the playoffs, I will be playing Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent Hopkins. They are guaranteed points in any game against any team. The three are about as automatic as any trio in all of fantasy sports. With Patrice Bergeron out the next two games for the…
After a two week hiatus, we’re back with our line ups. Our NHL line up is a showdown line up between the Islanders and the Capitals. It is a must win for Washington so this could be a high scoring game as the Caps look to push the pace. Here is my line up. For the Capitals, I went with Alex Ovechkin, Evgeni Kuznetsov and John Carlson. All three will…
Image courtesy of DraftKings Early action today in the NHL as games start at 2:30. Here’s my line up for today. Went heavy on the Oilers, Blackhawks match up. Jonathan Toews and Dominik Kubilik both had huge games in game one of the series. Kubilik finished with 2 goals and 3 assists. Toews also scored. I like this match up against Edmonton’s soft defense and suspect goaltending. I swear by…
Image courtesy of DraftKings Heavy on the Bruins today despite the fact that they laid an egg the other night against Columbus. David Krejci is a solid play because he so many guys that can score playing around him. David Pasternak is one of the league’s premier snipers and worthy of the price you pay to play him. Torey Krug quarterback’s the Bruins power play but he also jumps in…
Image courtesy of DraftKings I love the Sidney Crosby match up against an Ottawa team that struggles to play team defense and without Craig Anderson. Both Jonathan Toews and Dominik Kubilik has a great match up against the Ducks smallish defensive corp. Anaheim struggles to play the body especially around the net. I went with match up value with Anthony Beauvillier and Zach Parise. I expect both to have big…
Image courtesy of DraftKings Both Leon Draisital and Evgeni Malkin have favorable match ups tonight. Draisital continues to be on a torrid scoring pace despite the return of Conor McDavid. Malkin’s match up is more favorable because of the Sharks defensive and goaltending issues all season long. Jaime Benn is finally coming around offensively. He has been a different player since the all star break. He’s been more physical and…
Image courtesy of DraftKings Matt Duchene has been a disappointment thus far this season but if the match up is right like it is tonight against the Flames, you play him. Mark Scheifele and Patrik Laine both have a tough match up against the Capitals but it is also a game that could be a high scoring affair. Scheifele has points in his last five games. He has four goals…
Image courtesy of DraftKings Matt Duchene hasn’t been the player the Predators were hoping for but he will be moved to play against his former team at home. Nashville needs to win games like this in order to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. They are going to need Duchene I really this match up for the Preds so that is why I am also playing Kyle Turris and Filip…
Image courtesy of DraftKings It is hard not to do a DraftKings Showdown line up when you have the Penguins and Capitals going head to head. Thanks to Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby, this has become one of the best rivalries in the NHL. It is always a great game when these two teams meet up. Here is a breakdown of my line up. I picked three Capitals and three…
Line up image courtesy of DraftKings Aleksander Barkow has a favorable match up at the Kings. Barkov has been consistent all season long and a solid DFS play. The Canadiens have struggled mightily on offense the past two weeks but winger Nick Suzuki has been their lone bright spot. Montreal faces a tough test in Washington tonight but Suzuki is the best bet to end up on the score sheet….
