NHL DFS: 12/8/22

We smashed last night, playing the Buffalo PP or line 1 netted us over 120 points!  That was an anomaly that drove up the pay lines, so don’t expect it to happen again.  Our thought process is still the same and we have a few teams to target tonight.

For up-to-the-minute news and advice, join our premium Discord.

Top Teams to Target

Florida Panthers (Implied Goals 3.76) – The Red Wings enter the rat cage after a tough, hard-fought win against Tampa.  However, they will be playing their backup goalie who is allowing 4 goals a game. 

Dallas Stars (Implied Goals 3.75) – Dallas is playing great and has the NHL leader in goals in Jason Robertson. Ottawa comes to big D on a downward spiral that I don’t see ending anytime soon.

Toronto Maple Leafs (Implied Goals 3.48) – Toronto is finally playing like they should, red hot  Tonight the Kings come to town and they give up the most goals of any team on the road.  LA cans core and should keep this close, forcing Toronto into even more shots.

Tampa Bay Lightning (Implied Goals 3.48) – Tampa is coming off a frustrating loss to the Red Wings and they should take their frustration out on an inconsistent Nashville team/
