NHL DFS Picks & Daily Fantasy Playbook Today, March 20th
Wednesday Salary Cap NHL DFS Picks
Goalie Of The Day: Adin Hill/Ilya Samsonov - VGK
While it's too early in the day to project who is starting for the Golden Knights in net, I am not really phased either way! They both have played well on home ice this season and play a Boston team that is falling off a cliff offensively post trade deadline. In the last 10 games the Bruins have scored just 23 goals, the 4th lowest in the league and the Vegas defense on home ice allows just 2.41 goals per game. Lock in play here!
Player Of The Day: Seth Jarvis - CAR
It's a matchup of limitless potential tonight for Jarvis and the Canes as they travel to play one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL in San Jose. He has a 5-game point streak going into tonight's game and the Sharks allow the 2nd most DFS points per game to left wingers on the season, this is a must play.
Value Play Of The Day: Dylan Guenther - UTH
I think I have an addiction to the Utah Hockey Club and its out of circumstance as they are always underowned and cheaper than they ought to be! Tonight's matchup against Buffalo is a massive one as they've allowed 43 goals over the past 10 games the most in the NHL and their goaltending is also subpar. Enter Guenther who is capping off an impressive breakout season with 24 goals on the season, let's make it 25 and 26 goals tonight!
Stack Of The Day - CAR L1 (Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis & Jackson Blake)
