Proving there is a God (or perhaps proving there is not) my lineup yesterday actually won one head-to-head. The lineup scored just over 24 points as my strategy to stack Tampa Bay backfired. Nazem Kadri came through with over 10 fantasy points and that kept the lineup from completely sinking.
The great thing about daily fantasy is the chance to try again right away. I’m going with Ryan Spooner again as he saw over 15 minutes of ice time against Winnipeg (including power play minutes) and is only $3,000 on FanDuel. I’m also going to go Toronto heavy with Kessel/Kadri/van Riemsdyk.
This is the lineup I’ll go with tonight at FanDuel:
| LW |
BOS @ OTT (Pre-game)
|
|
| LW | James van Riemsdyk | |
| RW |
TOR @ BUF (Pre-game)
|
|
| RW |
NYR v FLA (Pre-game)
|
|
| C |
Ryan Spooner
BOS @ OTT (Pre-game)

| C |
Nazem Kadri
TOR @ BUF (Pre-game)

| D |

Jacob Muzzin
LA v DAL (Pre-game)
|

| G |
BOS @ OTT (Pre-game)

Khudobin is probable but not confirmed. Check on his status before the lineups lock. Also, keep you eye on David Krejci. According to the Boston Globe if he plays Spooner could be a healthy scratch. UPDATE 7:03 PM. Khudobin is the confirmed starter. Still no word on Spooner. UPDATE 7:15 PM: Joe Haggerty is reporting that Krejci looks like he’ll play. Spooner could still see time with the 3rd line.
If you don’t want to risk it you could try this:
| LW |
James van Riemsdyk
TOR @ BUF (Pre-game)

| LW |
Curtis Glencross
CGY @ NSH (Pre-game)
