Vegas Attacks Weakening Hurricanes – DFS GAMEPLAN 12/12/17

Busy Tuesday night in the NHL with 9 games on the docket.  Two struggling teams in Buffalo and Ottawa do battle.  A wore out Carolina Hurricanes head into Vegas after a one goal loss to Anaheim last night.  I also think that Colorado and Washington have the potential to put up some points tonight.

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.
