Blackhawks vs. Jets
3 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
CHI vs. WPG	CHI -145, WPG +125	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
CHI (AWAY SPLITS)	2.80	3.20	29.0	31.3%	78.6%	-4
WPG (HOME SPLITS)	2.88	2.38	30.0	10.3%	82.9%	12

Things to think about…
These afternoon games I feel can be tough to predict. I think I see this one as a 3-2 kind of game. Lets go take the chalk on both teams. CHI (Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp, Marian Hossa and Duncan Keith). WPG (Andrew Ladd, Evander Kane and Dustin Byfuglien).
Blues vs. Lightning
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
STL vs. TB	STL -125, TB +105	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
STL (AWAY SPLITS)	2.00	3.67	27.0	27.3%	100%	-4
TB (HOME SPLITS)	3.00	4.00	27.3	23.5%	83.3%	4

Things to think about…
This could be the best game of the day today. TB is quietly playing extremely well and STL is flat out dominating teams right now. STL scoring can be tough to predict but here are the players I like (Jay Bouwmeester, Alex Pietrangelo, Alexander Steen, T.J Oshie and Chris Stewart). TB players to target (my sleeper D man of the day Radko Gudas, Steven Stamkos, Martin St. Louis, Alex Killorn and Ryan Malone).
Ducks vs. Sabres
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
ANA vs. BUF	ANA -175, BUF +155	5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
ANA (AWAY SPLITS)	3.00	2.44	25.1	6.3%	63.3%	-15
BUF (HOME SPLITS)	3.25	1.38	32.0	16%	80.8%	-14

Things to think about…
I continue to not believe in the Sabres on any front. You can roll confidently with Jonas Hiller tonight in net. BUF is giving up an amazing 32 SA/G. ANA players to target (Kyle Palmieri, Nick Bonino, Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry). If I were to pick 1 BUF PP option tonight it would be Matt Moulson.
Flyers vs. Devils
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
PHI vs. NJ	NJ -135, PHI +115	5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
PHI (AWAY SPLITS)	3.25	2.25	31.5	14.3%	78.3%	18
NJ (HOME SPLITS)	1.50	2.75	21.5	18.2%	90%	0

Things to think about…
PHI plays last night absolutely killed me. Do they bounce back against a very good defensive NJ team at home? I am not going to count on it. I think you could look at taking old Martin Brodeur in goal tonight. Also I like these NJ players (Jaromir Jagr, Adam Henrique, Marek Zidlicky and Michael Ryder)
Bruins vs. Islanders
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
BOS vs. NYI	BOS -140, NYI +115	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
BOS (AWAY SPLITS)	1.60	3.60	25.2	12.5%	78.6%	2
NYI (HOME SPLITS)	3.13	3.13	29.8	29%	75%	-12

Things to think about…
BOS has been extremely good defensively at home lately. I think I like this to be maybe a 2-1 game. I do very much like the BOS PP options (David Krejci, Torey Krug, Zdeno Chara and Jarome Iginla). I think I will fade NYI tonight. This may come back to bite me but BOS is good defensively. Tuukka could be a play tonight however he will extremely expensive.
Hurricanes vs. Rangers
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
CAR vs. NYR	NYR -175, CAR +155	5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
CAR (AWAY SPLITS)	3.17	2.50	30.2	18.2%	72%	6
NYR (HOME SPLITS)	1.00	1.00	28.0	12.5%	85.7%	-2

Things to think about…
Ranger splits are useless because this will be only their 3rd game at home. With that said I like Henrik Lundqvist to continue his excellent recent form in goal. I really don’t like many NYR players right now but I do like these two Benoit Pouliot and Chris Kreider.
Panthers vs. Capitals
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
FLA vs. WSH	WSH , FLA	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
FLA (AWAY SPLITS)	4.40	2.00	29.8	4.5%	78.9%	-13
WSH (HOME SPLITS)	2.83	2.50	34.5	28.6%	86.4%	2

Things to think about…
WSH put 7 goals up on Philly last night and now they go home and play the worst road defensive team in the league? Sign me up. WSH players to target (Joel Ward, Jason Chimera, Nicklas Backstrom, Mikhail Grabovski, Troy Brouwer and Mike Green). Keep an eye out for Ovechkins status tonight as he did not play last night.
Penguins vs. Blue Jackets
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
PIT vs. CLS	PIT -125, CLS +105	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
PIT (AWAY SPLITS)	3.20	3.20	24.8	22.2%	66.7%	-4
CLS (HOME SPLITS)	2.50	3.17	31.0	18.2%	86.4%	11

Things to think about…
To line stack PIT players or not to line stack PIT players.. This is the question that DFS hockey players have to ask themselves every night PIT plays. For me on a night like tonight with 13 games I feel like a fade is a super good option. Now that is not to say throwing in Chris Kunitz, Jussi Jokinen or the heating up Evgeni Malkin in your line ups could be a strong play. I do however like the CLS PP options tonight (R.J. Umberger, James Wisniewski, Brandon Dubinsky and Marian Gaborik).
Maple Leafs vs. Canucks
7 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
TOR vs. VAN	VAN -140, TOR +120	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
TOR (AWAY SPLITS)	2.00	3.14	38.1	21.7%	89.7%	-7
VAN (HOME SPLITS)	2.67	2.50	26.5	4.8%	88.2%	-20

Things to think about…
This could be a dandy of a hockey game tonight. I really can’t see past that TOR is giving up 38 shots per game on the road! VAN players (Ryan Kesler, Daniel Sedin, Chris Higgins, Jason Garrison, Henrik Sedin and Mike Santorelli). The TOR PP could see quite a few chances lets take these TOR players (Cody Franson, Phil Kessel, James van Riemsdyk and Nazem Kadri).
Canadiens vs. Avalanche
10 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
MON vs. COL	COL -145, MON +125	5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
MON (AWAY SPLITS)	1.00	3.00	31.2	31.6%	88.9%	-2
COL (HOME SPLITS)	2.00	3.50	31.2	25%	86.4%	13

Things to think about…
This should be an interesting East vs. West top matchup. Budaj will play for MON and Jiggy will likely play for COL. COL won an exciting game last night in OT vs. DAL. Call me a homer but I picking all Avs here to beat up on their old friend Budaj. COL players to target (Paul Stastny, Matt Duchene, Alex Tanguay, Nathan MacKinnon and Gabriel Landeskog).
Red Wings vs. Oilers
10 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
DET vs. EDM	EDM -110, DET -105	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
DET (AWAY SPLITS)	2.71	2.71	30.0	11.1%	81.5%	11
EDM (HOME SPLITS)	4.20	2.00	26.4	23.5%	75%	-10

Things to think about…
DET played last night and beat a surprising tough CGY team. I look for the Red Wings to score at least 4 tonight vs EDM. DET players to target (Tomas Tatar, Pavel Datsyuk, Danny DeKeyser, Henrik Zetterberg and Justin Abdelkader). I think we may see Petr Mrazek in goal tonight which could be a sleeper goalie for a GPP.
Coyotes vs. Sharks
10:30 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
PHX vs. SJ	SJ -200, PHX +170	5.5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
PHX (AWAY SPLITS)	3.57	2.71	36.7	14.8%	82.4%	2
SJ (HOME SPLITS)	1.88	5.20	21.4	27.6%	78.9%	-20

Things to think about…
If you don’t use any SJ players tonight you aren’t trying to win. Load up on Sharks tonight. SJ players (Logan Couture, Joe Pavelski, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Tommy Wingels and Patrick Marleau). PHX may put in a couple here are the PHX players to target (Shane Doan and Radim Vrbata). Ekman-Larsson and Yandle are great options but on sites like Fanduel that take away +/- I might stay away.
Predators vs. Kings
10:30 pm EST

Game	Money Line	Over/Under
NSH vs. LAK	LAK -195, NSH +165	5

Team	GA/G	G/G	SA/G	PP	PK	PIM Difference
NSH (AWAY SPLITS)	2.50	2.00	31.0	10%	85.7%	12
LAK (HOME SPLITS)	2.71	3.43	24.7	23.3%	76.7%	4

Things to think about…
Jonathan Quick is a great start tonight in goal. I will continue to pick on NSH and their goalie issues. LAK players to target (Jarret Stoll, Anze Kopitar, Justin Williams, Mike Richards and Drew Doughty)
Alright lets break down all the information with some quick picks.
