Daily Fantasy Hockey Notebook | 12-06-17
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
– Tyler Bozak (illness) will be back in after a one-game absence.
– Jaromir Jagr (lower-body) will not play in Toronto.
– T.J. Oshie (upper-body) will not play vs. Chicago.
– Corey Crawford (lower-body) skated on Wednesday but won’t dress and is unlikely to be back by Friday.
– Brandon Manning (hand) was placed on IR and will miss 3-to-4 weeks
– Michal Neuvirth (lower-body) was placed on IR and will miss 7-to-10 days.
– Jakob Silfverberg (upper-body) will be a game-time decision vs. Ottawa.
– Hampus Lindholm (upper-body) is expected to miss his second straight game.
– Mark Stone (illness) missed Tuesday’s practice but will play in Anaheim.
