DFO Fantasy Show – Fantasy Hockey Week 8 Preview: Strength of Schedule & Streaming Targets

In this episode, Brock Seguin opens with the latest Fantasy News & Notes from around the NHL before giving out Brock’s Lock of the Day. Then it’s time to dive into the Week 8 Strength of Schedule breakdown, highlighted by a condensed, American-Thanksgiving-affected slate that creates unique streaming opportunities.

Brock walks through all three teams with two Light Nights this week and breaks down the best streaming targets from each:

• Washington Capitals — Connor McMichael, Ryan Leonard, Anthony Beauvillier, Justin Sourdif

• Dallas Stars — Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn, Esa Lindell

• Ottawa Senators — Dylan Cozens, Shane Pinto, Claude Giroux, David Perron

He also details which matchups are most favourable, which underlying metrics matter most this week, and which players can give you short-term value based on usage, deployment, and schedule advantages.

If you’re looking to maximize games played and squeeze value out of a weird Week 8 NHL schedule, this is the episode you need.
