NHL DFS Hot Shot for DraftKings and FanDuel (Aug. 26)

8/26 NHL Game Plan

A lucky three game slate today for 8/26 NHL! It starts off with the Philadelphia Flyers facing the New York Islanders. This game ended in a four to nothing victory for the Islanders in game one. The score was slightly inflated as New York scored two late goals in the third period to make the game look worse than it was. This game starts at 3PM EST.

24 hours removed from game two, the Tampa Bay Lightning face off against the Boston Bruins at 8pm eastern. Game two was a four to three overtime victory for the Tampa Bay Lightning. This tied the series at one game a piece.

10:30 pm EST concludes our August 26th action with the Colorado Avalanche looking to make a mark on their series against the Dallas Stars. After averaging only two goals a game in the regular season, Dallas has scored double that in the playoffs. Does Dallas put this series out of reach tonight?
