With 10 games to pick from on the Saturday night slate, we have plenty of options to build a solid lineup. On the surface, tonight could look similar to Thursday night’s scoring bonanza, though I doubt we’ll see two blow out games like that. Below we’ll take a look at the DFS implications of each game to figure out which games to target and which to fade. Please keep in mind that this time of year there will be late scratches (lately we’ve seen it with Malkin and Datsyuk) so check your lineup right before roster lock, and have pivots in mind.
It looks like a night that you will want to pay up at center and goalie, since there seems to be a bit more value in the wings and on defense. But, as always, your mileage may vary, and our sample lineup can be used for your base as you experiment and tinker prior to puck drop.
Top Teams to Target Tonight for Daily Fantasy Hockey
1. Calgary Flames – At this point, we know the story with the Flames: bad peripheral numbers, good results. That doesn’t make sense and it’s frustrating, but we’ve learned to live with it now and enjoy the ride. The top line of the Flames is not yet a fully dominant line, but they are putting up points and carrying the Flames. Against the lowly Oilers, who are coming off an 8-2 curbstomping by Los Angeles, the Flames should burn bright. Fire up the top line and pair with one of Calgary’s top defenders, seasoned to your salary situation: Dennis Wideman, Kris Russell, and T.J. Brodie.
