Crosby “He’s Back” – DFS GAMEPLAN 12/1/17

Unusually busy Friday night in the NHL.  Eight games on tap, and three teams stand out as top producers tonight – Winnipeg, Pittsburgh, and NY Islanders.  I also have a sneaking feeling that the St. Louis vs. Los Angeles game could result in some high offence.

Our goal is that you make us a daily resource and tool in your daily fantasy preparation.  We want you to gain a significant advantage in NHL DFS, I highly recommend you check out RotoQL. It is straight up as good as it gets in the DFS industry.
