DFS Saturday: Going Against the Grain

By |2022-06-10T23:49:31-04:00June 11th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

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 [...]

DFS Thursday: Lightning Looking To Take Home-Ice Advantage Away

By |2022-06-09T09:14:54-04:00June 9th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

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 [...]

DFS Tuesday: Rangers and Lightning Heading for a Goaltending Duel

By |2022-06-07T09:21:46-04:00June 7th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

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 [...]

DFS Saturday: Oilers Back on Home Ice

By |2022-06-04T11:17:04-04:00June 4th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

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 [...]

DFS Thursday: Streaking Avs Skaters and the Lightning Bouncing Back

By |2022-06-02T08:55:12-04:00June 2nd, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

In a surprise move, one that I don’t recall DraftKings doing in previous years, DraftKings has actually been able to continue offering two game slates with the classic format. To pull this off they use for example the Colorado vs Edmonton game on Thursday as the first game on the slate, and then the Tampa [...]

DFS Tuesday: Oilers and Avalanche Square Off For Game 1

By |2022-05-31T09:00:31-04:00May 31st, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

As I write this (Monday evening), the playoff picture is being whittled down to 4 teams. The Western Conference final is set, now apparently called the McSeries or the McMatchup. Only one game per night makes the daily fantasy bettor choose a very limited lineup - on DraftKings this means a “Showdown” setting where one [...]

DFS Tuesday: Pushing Teams to the Brink

By |2022-05-24T09:31:53-04:00May 24th, 2022|Daily Fantasy (DFS) Advice, Daily Fantasy Hockey Tips (DFS)|

Back to a two-game slate tonight, which is still enough to risk another wager on individual outcomes. For Sunday’s column, I was right that the Rangers and Mike Smith would shine, but my Florida Panthers’ stack sunk my DraftKings bet before either of the other two games even started. I guess I’m grateful to bet [...]
