NHL DFS: 3/11/23

The NHL has gifted us a massive 11-game slate tonight, highlighting many of the old faces on new teams. It is a long list, with many great matchups. m As always I like to focus on just a couple of teams who are in smash spots, like Tampa at home, where they are unbeatable. I also like both sides of Edmonton at Toronto. This game has an O/U of 7, the highest on the board. Both teams are consistent scorers and play little to no defense. They are expensive, but you need to have a piece of this game.

Recent News

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports that Eagles OG Landon Dickerson (knee) is "trending toward playing" in Week 1 against the Cowboys.
Dickerson recently underwent surgery to address a meniscus injury. It appears as though his rehab has gone very well. The three-time-defending Pro Bowl blocker should play a pivotal role as the Eagles likely attempt to ground-and-pound their way to victory in the second half.

Eagles S Andrew Mukuba (groin) was seen in pads and is "ready to practice in some form today."
The Eagles drafted Mukuba in the second round this year. He was competing with Sydney Brown for one of the starting safety roles when he suffered a shoulder injury in late July. He later picked up a groin injury upon returning. Mukuba is likely slated for a backup role early in the year, but his draft capital should get him more opportunities to take over as a starter as the year progresses.
