The calendars have turned to April and depending on your outlook, this could either be the best or the worst time to be playing NHL DFS. The MLB season has just kicked off and MLB DFS is the new, cool kid on the block. For many fantasy players that means leaving the NHL in the [...]
Last Saturday while I was scrambling right before lineup lock with the news that two of my favorite plays were scratched, Alexander Radulov and Tyler Toffoli, I was reminded of an important concept in DFS that I’ve never really touched on in this article. And that concept is bankroll management. I’m not going to pretend [...]
I’d be remiss if I didn’t start off this daily fantasy column with the fantasy performance of the week, if not the year. Yes, I’m talking about Mika Zibanejad from Wednesday who scored three goals and picked up three assists in ONE PERIOD. Those three goals matched his total from the entire season. Per @StatsBySTATS [...]
With many teams crossing over the halfway mark of their seasons, and the fact “Selection Sunday” is just a day away for the NCAA Tournament, it got me thinking. Who would I pick as my “Final Four” if I were to fill out an NHL bracket today? After some thought, I would have to go [...]
DraftKings has dubbed the next few days “Hockey Week” and I am here for it. You may be thinking what exactly qualifies this as “hockey week” since as far as the NHL schedule is concerned nothing is really out of the ordinary. Well in fact it has nothing to do with the NHL at all, [...]

In true 2020-21 fashion, right as we were about to get all 31 franchises on the ice at once for a stretch of the season, something comes along to throw a wrench into things. This time around it wasn’t COVID, but Mother Nature instead. Before going any further I’d like to express my sympathies to [...]
Some good news on the league schedule front. Despite three postponed games on Saturday, there remains a healthy docket of 11 games on the day. The culprits for the postponements – Buffalo, New Jersey, and Minnesota – are inching their way closer to resuming play, and only Philadelphia had to re-schedule games this week outside [...]
So, who else is already tired of the phrase “Out of an abundance of caution”? Those dreaded words send your heart sinking down in to your stomach, knowing the list of postponements that are about to follow. While we all know COVID should certainly be taken seriously, and I wish a speedy recovery to all [...]
May I have a word with the NHL schedule making team? This past week there was only one game on both Monday and Friday, and just two games on Wednesday. Meanwhile sandwiched in the middle were 13- and 14- game slates on Tuesday and Thursday respectively. I am sure there is a method to this [...]
