NHL DFS: 10/26/22

It felt like we were in the Upside Down last night as all the favorites were beaten into submission.  We have a small breather tonight with only 3 games.  Let’s get back on track!

Top Teams to Target

New York Rangers – The Rangers have been frustratingly not scoring a lot of goals, even though they are ranked 5th in Shots on Goal.  The Islanders are a middle-of-the-road team with a great goaltender, surrendering just 3.17 goals per game.  They have had some injuries of late and as a result, their lines are a mess. I think the Rangers take their frustrations out on the Isle and dominate this game.

Tampa Bay Lightning – Tampa continues to roll along with a strong start to the season. They face a terrible Anaheim team who is giving up 4.5 goals per game.  Steven Stamkos is a must-play tonight.

Edmonton & St Louis – Vegas has this as a dead heat with an O/U of 6.5 goals. I give the edge to St Louis who is giving up just 2.2 goals a game.  The Oilers are surrendering 3.33 goals per game. I don’t think this game will be super high scoring, somewhere around 3-2, 4-2. I prefer the other 2 teams above, but feel free to mix in a few players from this game.
