NHL DFS: 2-12-24

We have a small 4-game slate tonight on DraftKings. None of the games are overly exciting with Seattle at New Jersey being the only game with an over higher than 6 (6.5). That means this game will be super popular. With scoring projected lower than normal we need to figure out where the few goals will come from. Taking a look at Implied Goals, all the home teams look good—NJ & NYR at 3.4 goals, PHL at 3.3 goals, and VGK at 3.1 goals. Philadelphia interests me the most because they should be the lower-owned team.

Good luck and join me in Discord!

The Athletic's Chad Graff believes TreVeyon Henderson could get "half the carries, if not more" in the Patriots' backfield.
Henderson is cited by Graff in this piece as already being New England's best offensive weapon and also notes that Henderson's ability to run between the tackles "has surprised even the highest levels of the team brass." It's hard to believe the Patriots won't find a way to make Henderson a real fantasy football contributor this year, perhaps as early as Week 1. A big role for Henderson would make the road to fantasy viability much tougher for Rhamondre Stevenson.
