Daily Fantasy Hockey Notebook | 12-19-17
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
IN
– Mika Zibanejad (concussion) is expected to return to the Rangers lineup.
– TJ Oshie (concussion) is expected to play after missing the last six games.
– Erik Gudbranson (upper-body) has been activated from IR and will return after a 12-game absence.
GAMETIME DECISION
– Brock Boeser (foot) will be a game-time decision.
– David Krejci missed Monday’s game and is questionable for Tuesday’s game.
OUT
– Calvin de Haan (upper-body) was placed on IR and is out indefinitely.
