Brad Hayward studies DFS and uses his experience to pass along his most optimal lineup for Saturday’s busy slate of games.
We have arrived at the last DFS Saturday of the regular season and what a Saturday it is! With no games on the schedule Friday, all 32 teams will be on the ice on Saturday. The majority (22) will be in action for the main slate that starts at 7 pm EST. We will try [...]
Surely, this is how the NHL envisioned their schedule back in the summer of 2022. We have three dogfights for division leads, and both wildcard races are undecided with only a week to go in the season. It’s a far cry from last year, especially in the East, where the eight playoff positions were largely [...]
We are down to the final two weeks of the regular season and the playoff picture is starting to take shape. We know the majority of the teams that will be advancing to the postseason, but there are few spots that are still up for grabs thanks to Winnipeg and Pittsburgh sputtering down the stretch. [...]
Last night, the three-game slate’s biggest feature was the Central Division first-place contest between Colorado and Minnesota. Didn’t seem fair. 15% of the Wild’s salary cap is in limbo, and their best player is out on IR. The game was also at the Ball Arena in Denver, where the reigning champs, well, reign. None of [...]
With many season-long leagues in the middle of their playoffs, I thought I’d briefly share the “playoffs” I’m participating in over on Underdog Fantasy, which may or may not be available for you to play depending on your location. This was a “best ball” type format which if you’re not familiar, you snake draft a [...]
Do you know (or hazard a guess?) how many combined goals Kyle Connor, Blake Wheeler, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Mark Scheifele, and Josh Morrissey have scored in the Winnipeg Jets’ last nine games? I’ll give you a hint - not many. The Jets, who desperately need points to hang onto the West’s second wild card spot, have [...]
As the NHL regular season starts to wind down, you may be looking for a void to fill if you’ve either missed the playoffs in your season long fantasy league or have been eliminated. We are winding down with DFS Saturdays as well but with the ability to play daily fantasy every day, there is [...]
A bit of a shorter article maybe today, as I recover from watching the late-night barnburner between Minnesota and St. Louis. The Wild are 11-0-3 in the last month, and are knocking on the door of the Central Division lead. No Kirill Kaprizov, no problem! Both Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson step up every game, [...]
After a very light slate on Friday that consisted of only two games, and a handful of Saturday slates over the past few weeks that have been a bit shorthanded for one reason or another – we have in store for us tonight one of the large Saturday slates we became accustomed to for much [...]
Isn’t it interesting how team points become so much more valuable in the last quarter of the season, but individual stats are much less so. Why? Well, as teams race to get those last playoff wildcard spots, or home ice advantage for those sitting #2 or #3 (let alone in the crazy Pacific Division), it’s [...]
