NHL DFS: 12/7/22

We did well last as Pittsburgh and New Jersey came through. Tonight we have 7 games with a couple of smash spots we can exploit. One game, in particular, is Buffalo at Columbus.  The last time these 2 teams met they put up 10 goals.  This is a great game stack.

Top Teams to Target

Buffalo Sabres (Implied Goals 3.71) – Tage Thompson and the Sabres score a lot of goals. They are second only to Boston, scoring 3.8 goals per game.  Columbus is second worst with 3.96 goals allowed per game. 

Edmonton Oilers (Implied Goals 3.81) – The Oilers have the best matchup on the board when they welcome Arizona to Rogers Place. The Coyotes have the worst record in hockey and are allowing 3.65 goals per game.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Implied Goals 3.0) – As I mentioned in my opening, the Buffalo/Columbus game is a great stack. Buffalo allows 3.65 goals per game making this a potential shootout of a game.

Boston Bruins (Implied Goals 3.48) – Boston is the best team in hockey.  They lead the league with an astounding 3.96 goals per game.  They are facing a very injured Colorado team who just lost Nathan McKinnon for several weeks.  They are expensive to roster so they are last on my board, but you should try to get some of them in a lineup or two.
