Hey Karma Nation!
There are 5 games today, here’s a breakdown of each, starting with the game sets offered per site:
-Fanduel has an all day game set starting @3:00 EST,
-DraftKings is broken up into 2 game sets:
- early (2 games) starting @3:00 EST
- featured (3 games) starting @7:00 EST
Anaheim@Winnipeg- projected total: 5-6 goals. Winnipeg is a -160 home favorite to win.
D-Luca Sbisa WPG ($3200 DK, $3500 FD) does have four points, but has gotten most of his fantasy scoring production from his shots taken (17) and blocks (16) in his last nine games. Anaheim ranks 22nd against defensemen.
G-Connor Hellebuyck WPG ($7900 DK only) has been one of my favorite netminders to target this season because of his consistent performances. He has now won six of his last eight with a 2.08 GAA. The Ducks have struggled to score this season with just 77 goals in 29 games. Still a good play on FD where he is priced @$8600.

San Jose@Florida- projected total: 6-7 goals. Florida is a -150 home favorite to win.
W-Frank Vatrano FLA ($4000 DK, $3400 FD) gets second-unit PP time, and salary has dipped just enough to be in our value range. San Jose ranks 24th in defense against wingers so far this season.
W-Barclay Goodrow SJ ($3500 DK, $3800 FD) sees time with the Sharks’ 2nd power play unit, and averaged almost 17 minutes of ice time since he’s skating with Couture and Kane on the top scoring line.
Arizona@Chicago- projected total: 5-6 goals. This is a pick ’em game with both teams at -110 to win.
C/W-Christain Dvorak ARI ($3900 DK, $4400 FD) has accumulated 18 points in the 25 games he’s played so far this season. I like that he is always around the net and on the top PP-unit for the Coyotes.
G-Darcy Kuemper ARI ($7700 DK only) is having an incredible season–only allowing a 1.95 GAA. Chicago is ranked 23rd in the NHL on offense, and also please check to make sure Kuemper is the confirmed starter today. Still a great play on FD where he is priced @$8600.
NY Rangers@Vegas- projected total: 6-7 goals. Vegas is the biggest favorite to win on the board today at -220.
W-Alex Tuch VGK ($4600 FD only) has had an amazing four game stretch with four goals, three assists and 14 shots. His FD price has risen above our value threshold n DK, but you really should be playing him in all formats until he cools down. This home match against the 31st ranked Rangers’ defense doesn’t get much better.
D-Nate Schmidt VGK ($4200 FD only) is too cheap on FD for the fantasy production you get. This home spot is great as the Rangers’ defense doesn’t fare much better against blueliners.
Buffalo@Edmonton- projected total: 6 goals. Edmonton is a -165 home favorite to win.
D-Jujhar Khaira ($3200 DK, $3300 FD) gets 2nd-unit power play time, and has lit the lamp five times in his last eight games. The Sabres’ defense is mediocre at best, and they must be worn down as this is their third road game in four days.
**Even with NFL today, don’t forget about all the action on the ice.
Good luck today!
