FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy Hockey lineup – December 6, 2017
By Paul Horvat
Goalies
Braden Holtby, WAS at CHI ($9100): The top dollar goalie tonight has a very good matchup that supports a low scoring game. Because you must have your goalie win and get the win bonus tonight it’s best to not get to creative. Holtby is a solid pick tonight and should end up with the W.
Anton Forsberg, CHI vs WAS ($7800): Look this is a small slate and you have to take a stand when you construct lineups. This is probably the goalie that will end up in everyones roster tonight and that’s fine. In fact he will make the sample lineup just on price alone and the pace of this game. He was good against the Kings last time out and that game came down to the third period. Conclusion: if you stack WAS use Holtby if you stack CHI Forsberg is your guy.
Brian Elliott, CGY vs TOR($7700): The lowest-owned highest upside play tonight between the pipes is this guy. Elliott played a few nights ago and was stellar. He will see shots tonight and the Flyers stacks pay off this is an easy high leverage play that could pay off big tonight.
Laurent Brossoit, EDM vs. PHI ($7600): If you read this article yesterday, you know that we mentioned punting with Jimmy Howard of the Red Wings. How did that go? Well he won five to one and collected the bonus and was just under four percent owned. This is a punt and going against all conventional wisdom. But what the heck get a share of him if you like winning.
