NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Apr. 11)

This article focuses on 4/11 NHL Picks for both DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbooks and FanDuel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We analyze tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so that we can gain an edge on the field at large. Full goal-scoring odds and rankings for each position for both sites are available below.

Sunday 4/11 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back to the Hot Shot!

The DraftKings slate is starting one hour earlier than the FanDuel slate, due to the inclusion of the 6 p.m. ET Colorado/Anaheim game. As a result that makes it a five-game slate over there.
