Kane Attack – DFS GAMEPLAN 1/5/18

It is Friday night and time to kick off a great hockey weekend.  Chicago hosts Vegas who lost last night to St. Louis.  Is this the start of the demise of the Golden Knights?  Pittsburgh visits Brooklyn tonight and face a Islanders team.  Both teams are on second nights of a back-to-back.  I think this means high scoring.  Winnipeg is prepared to take advantage of a struggling Sabres team tonight in Winnipeg.

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.
