Daily Fantasy Hockey Notebook | 12-01-17
Whether you spend your entire day at work or school, it can be difficult to stay on top of all NHL news. That’s why I have created the Daily Fantasy Notebook, so you can catch up on everything you might have missed throughout the day.
The notebook will be released everyday after teams wrap up their morning skate. It will include a number of things: Injury updates, prominent line changes, goalie rankings and DFS value picks.
While this is obviously more geared towards daily fantasy hockey, it can be just as useful for season-long players as well. Injuries are obviously key, but important line changes could be viewed as as potential waiver wire pickups and the goalie rankings can help you make the tough starting goalie decisions you face on large slates.
Key Injuries
– Mika Zibanejad will not play because of a concussion; out indefinitely.
– Brandon Montour (elbow) is expected to play after a one-game absence.
– Ondrej Kase (upper-body) will be a game-time decision.
– Zach Bogosian (lower-body) will make his season debut.
– Evgeni Malkin (upper-body) will be a game-time decision.
– Radim Vrbata (face) will be back in the Panthers lineup.
– Martin Jones (undisclosed) will return as the Sharks backup.
– Tim Heed (undisclosed) remains day-to-day; will not play.
– Marcus Johansson (concussion) will be back in the Devils lineup.
– Joonas Donskoi (undisclosed) will come out of the Sharks lineup.
