NHL DFS: 2/25/23

We have a unique weekend in the NHL. This is the final weekend before the NHL Trade deadline on March 2nd. I bring this up because teams are resting players they want to trade, so they won’t get injured. You will need to triple-check your lineups before lock.

We have 3 teams who are overwhelming favorites, in high-scoring games: Boston, New Jersey, and Carolina. Carolina is my favorite tonight playing at home against a terrible Ducks team. They have moved Svechnikov up to the top line and it has been magical.

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.

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.
