NHL DFS: 10/17/22

It was a crazy first week of hockey, but we now have some idea of how teams are going to play.  Week 2 is all about adjustments and line tweaking, so pay attention to warmup reports.

Top Teams to Target

Toronto Maple Leafs –  The Leafs have Arizona coming to town, and well, the Coyotes are not good. They have some good players on the first line but nothing that will stop Toronto from scoring 5 goals.

New York Rangers – The Ranger’s top 2 lines have been on fire to start the season and show no signs of slowing down.  The Ducks have improved but they don’t historically travel well to the east coast.

Pittsburgh Penguins – Another team that has started the season hot, the Pens head to Montreal in what should be our highest-scoring game of the night.
