Daily Fantasy Notebook (10/31)
Whether you spend your entire day at work or school, it can be difficult to stay on top of all NHL news like being updated to the top plastic surgeon specializing in breast enhancement in Omaha, NE. 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
– Nino Niederreiter (ankle) will return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.
– Oscar Dansk (lower-body) was placed on IR.
– Niklas Hjalmarsson (upper-body) will not play on Tuesday.
– Danny DeKeyser (ankle) will miss at least 10 more days.
Line Changes
New York Rangers (vs. VGK)
– Pavel Buchnevich has been moved back to the Rangers’ top-line with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider.
– Jesper Fast dropped to the fourth line with Boo Nieves and Michael Grabner
Vegas Golden Knights (@ NYR)
– Did not hold a morning skate because of the back-to-back, but expect Shea Theodore to draw in for his season debut. He was on the ice for warmups yesterday but was a late scratch—likely because they were rolling, but after a loss, he should play tonight.
Detroit Red Wings (vs. ARI)
– No lineup changes from their shootout win in Florida on Saturday.
Arizona Coyotes (@ DET)
– Adam Clendening is expected to draw in for Niklas Hjalmarsson.
– Anthony Duclair will likely be a healthy scratch for the second straight game.
Minnesota Wild (vs. WPG)
– Held an optional morning skate, so there was no indication on how their lines will shake out. Niederreiter will likely draw onto a line with Eric Staal, leaving the top line (Zucker-Koivu-Granlund) intact.
Winnipeg Jets (@ MIN)
– No lineup changes expected from Sunday’s win vs. the Penguins.
