Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb. 17
After a two-day absence I’m back to the daily fantasy grind. Today I really like Boston against Winnipeg so I’ll take Brad Marchand and Dougie Hamilton.

Five Players to Watch: 2013 Detroit Tigers
Things are not hunky dory in Foxtown. Owner Mike Ilitch (Pizza, pizza) has gone all-in on the Tigers and they’ve failed to make good on the investment.

FanDuel Daily Fantasy Hockey Picks – Feb 14.
Wednesday night was marked by Erik Karlsson‘s lacerated achilles. Even by hockey standards, it’s a cringe worthy injury. Even saying “lacerated achilles” out loud doesn’t feel right. It sounds like a bad horror movie. If it is a bad horror movie, the villain in this one is Matt Cooke. Maybe he wasn’t an intentional villain […]

The All-Star break is a turning point in many players’ seasons, giving some a quick chance to heal their bumps and bruises while simply giving others a needed weekend off.
