This article focuses on 9/23 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.

NHL Game Plan

The Breakdown

The prediction in the last article ended up hitting. The Lightning not only drew the series even, but did so on the backs of our top ranked players.

It makes sense to go back to well here and barring any changes, ride the lightning for the remainder of the series. If I believe that is going to change, I will provide a further update. Tampa Bay outshot Dallas in both games “by a significant amount in Game One, 36-20” and that trend should continue throughout this series, which is the Lightning’s to lose.

One x-factor to be on the watch for is the potential return of Steven Stamkos. His return in the finals seemed a likely possibility about a week ago. However, the prospect of Stamkos returning tends to lessen each day. Stamkos has been participating in the team’s morning skate but may not be able to get quite healthy in time. Either way, I guess we will find out his Game Three status shortly.
