To end our daily fantasy hockey week, we have a tidy little six-game slate to go through to find our DFS gold. I am particularly interested in three games tonight:
Chicago Blackhawks @ New Jersey Devils
Ottawa Senators @ Calgary Flames
Edmonton Oilers @ Vancouver Canuks
The first game I like is the Chicago Blackhawks at the New Jersey Devils. Chicago has scored 24 goals over their first seven games, good for fourth-best in the NHL. They have also allowed 24 goals — fifth-worst in the NHL. Their penalty-kill has been particularly atrocious. Chicago has allowed 14 power play goals against this season and have only killed off 46.2% of their penalty kill chances.
This puts the New Jersey PP1 Unit firmly in play for me:
Taylor Hall (5G, 1A, 3 PPG, 4 PPP, 25 SOG) $6,600
Travis Zajac (3G, 2A, 1 PPG, 2 PPP, 13 SOG) $4,400
Pavel Zacha (3A, 1 PPP, 7 SOG) $3.700
Kyle Palmieri (2G, 1A, 1 PPG, 2 PPP, 13 SOG) $5,300
(D) Damon Severson (4A, 4 PPP, 8 SOG) $4,100
