Tuesday fantasy hockey tips - NHL picks, matchups, more

05.04.2023 - 00:17 espn.com

Tuesday's 11-game schedule launches with gusto when three of four legitimate Wild Card hopefuls in the East get going at 7 p.m., two of them going head-to-head.

We could see Devon Levi make his second NHL start when the Sabres visit the Panthers (Alex Lyon) after playing well enough to earn the win against the Rangers on Friday.

While game No. 2 is always a different challenge for a newbie goalie, especially on the road, having Tage Thompson back in the lineup — a healthy possibility — offers Buffalo's entire squad a significant boost.

One point up on the Panthers for the second position, the Penguins visit the Devils in New Jersey. Which isn't a nothing game for the home side either.

Amazingly, with the regular season's finish line well in sight, the majority of Tuesday's 10-game slate still carries significant playoff-related implications for at least one side. Which makes it easier on fantasy managers to assemble their own lineups. It's not like prominent heavy-hitters — unless hurt (see: Jack Eichel) — are going to sit out with so much on the line. So, rating the matchups themselves becomes all the more important, particularly in gauging streaming and Daily Fantasy options. For instance, there are some real tough doozies out West that might not reap a ton of fantasy scoring — goals, assists — altogether. Oilers vs. Avalanche serving as one noted exception.

Saturday fantasy hockey tips - NHL picks, matchups, more

Strap in folks; after a day of complete dormancy, we're likely in for the wildest 13 hours of hockey this year. However, just because every NHL team is in action this lively Saturday, doesn't mean you'll find all of your choice fantasy assets on the ice, or in a favorable position to contribute. More than ever, matchups matter. In fact, some of the day's most intriguing tilts — Vegas versus Dallas, Nashville versus Winnipeg — carry less overall fantasy promise on paper, aside from the usual stars, than other more meaningless contests.
