NHL Tools for Daily Fantasy Hockey
The rankings for fantasy points and value are derived directly from my own fantasy NHL DFS projections. Roster players with solid value rankings and spend most, if not all of your salary. I’m confident that lineups built using this method will be competitive in tournaments.
The NHL DFS projection model was created and is maintained by the top DFS players in the world. It includes DFS projections for contests on both DraftKings and FanDuel. The projections are most effectively used by uploading them into our Fantasy Cruncher premium add-on, which can generate hundreds of optimal NHL lineups within minutes.
Initial NHL ownership projections for DraftKings main slates will be posted daily by 4 p.m. EST and will be updated thereafter when major news breaks. Note that last-minute injury reports will impact not only the injured players’ or their replacements’ ownership projection, but can affect overall roster construction and therefore, the ownership projection for every other player on the slate.
The NHL Top Stack Tool utilizes Stokastic’s personalized rankings and projections, goes through myriad data and finds the best possible stacks for your daily fantasy lineups.
