Sunday 4/25 NHL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back to the Hot Shot as we continue the final stretch of the NHL regular season!

We have a very tiny slate by condensed NHL schedule standards with only three games beginning at 6 p.m. ET.

There are a pair of big favorites in the Rangers and Tampa Bay both coming in with -286 money lines. However, the other game between the Flyers and Devils has a six total and should certainly not be ignored.
