Lightning Welcome Tired Wild – DFS GAMEPLAN 12/23/17

Merry Christmas and tonight is your gift.  15 games this Saturday, 13 of which will take place after 6 pm, and will count toward Draftkings.  I like Edmonton tonight over Montreal, and I really like Tampa as Minnesota comes in on the second night of a back to back.

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.
