This article focuses on 8/25 NHL Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel Sportsbook and Fanduel and DraftKings Daily Fantasy. We consider tournament tactics, statistics, pricing, and attempt to tackle this highly variable Daily Fantasy format so we can gain an edge on the field at large. All rankings are site specific.

8/25 NHL Game Plan

Two games on the slate today, so I suggest with the lack of choices in line up selection every one play light this time of year. Things can get pretty unpredictable and one assist or goal, from an unlikely source, can go a long way in making you money or ruining your evening. I will do my best to find you those unlikely sources. For Draft Kings today, I believe you need two of the top four centres on this list, there is a lot more low priced wingers we can find value in.

The night starts out with the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Boston Bruins. The Bruins won the first game of the series three to two, with two late goals from Victor Hedman on the Lightning side. David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand both has a goal and assist for the Bruins.

the second game of the evening features the Vegas Golden Knights and the Vancouver Canucks. The Knights defended their castle well and took it to the Canucks in a five to one dominant blowout. It was a solid point night for forwards on lines one through three really. Especially for those that played on the powerplay.

8/25 NHL MKF Pick

Picking these three to get over 2.5 points on MKF seems like easy money. These three have been averaging a point (no pun intended) per game. I feel these three are safe to bring you home some MKF dollars!
