NHL DFS: 12/13/22
We have a full 12-game slate tonight, with some obvious smash spots. As always when we have slates this large I like to narrow my focus to just a few teams.

Top Teams to Target
Toronto Maple Leafs – The Ducks travel across the continent to face a red-hot Maple Leafs team. Anaheim enjoys giving up goals leading the NHL in 4.17 goals allowed per game.
Buffalo Sabres – At home, the Sabres are a scoring machine averaging just over 4 goals per game. LA comes to town allowing 3.8 goals per game. Tage Thompson is a must-play.
Florida Panthers – Florida is home against a Columbus team who is second worst in the NHL with 4.07 goals allowed per game. The Panthers are finally back at full strength and should dismantle the Blue Jackets.
