Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)

Having not expected to write another column until September, I predicted there wouldn’t BE a Game 6. Nonetheless, here’s the next fearless forecast. But wait!! You can’t just go picking players. You need to decide whether the Colorado Avalanche comes with enough determination and desperation to close the series out, or will the Tampa Bay [...]

With the Lightning facing elimination, there is a real possibility that the 2021-2022 NHL season ends tonight and with that, would spell the end of my DFS articles for the year. Would just like to take a quick moment to thank anyone who takes the time out of their day to read these columns and [...]

Well what a difference a game makes. After the Avalanche rolled the Lightning on Saturday to take a commanding 2-0 series lead, Tampa Bay returned the favor on Monday as they have so often done over the last three postseasons. That leaves some questions as to what to expect for tonight’s Game 4. With any [...]

Wow. Actually "wow" twice! First, the Avalanche absolute domination from Saturday night, making the two-time Stanley Cup champions look old, second-tier, and just outclassed. Sixteen shots, really? Can you say that any one of Tampa’s players had a good game? Nope. And then second to Steve Dotzel, who totally nailed the DFS player predictions for [...]

In Thursday’s article, we pieced together a lineup that I entered in the $15 DraftKings Showdown contest that paid $20,000 to 1st place. Thanks to a Brandon Hagel empty net goal and a postgame scoring adjustment that changed Tampa Bay’s second goal from Mikhail Sergachev to Ondrej Palat, I was able to come away with [...]

With Colorado’s sweep we are officially down to just one series happening until someone hoists the Stanley Cup. That means are DFS options are down to single-game Showdown on DrafKings. As a quick refresher, Showdown consists of a roster of six players. One of your six players is designated as your captain and that player [...]

First, congratulations to the Colorado Avalanche for advancing to the Stanley Cup Finals.    It was just a year ago that we heard Nathan MacKinnon voice his frustration about having won nothing in his NHL career, and now he’s led his team to the precipice of the ultimate team prize.    Prognosticators come and go, but strategy [...]

If you read Thursday’s article, you’re already aware of the two different ways to play DFS for Saturday on DraftKings. If you didn’t, here’s a quick rundown. First off, there is a two-game slate posted with the “classic” format that we’re used to from the entire season with the normal nine-player lineup. The two games [...]
