Daily Fantasy Hockey Value Update – December 23

Tampa Bay Lightning at Florida Panthers

Normally, I would have scoffed at using the title “The Battle of Florida,” however these two teams are a combined 13-5-2 in the month of December and the Panthers have won three straight games at home.

Like other teams already mentioned, these two squads have found success without filling the net on the power play: Tampa Bay and Florida have scored seven power play goals combined this month in 60 chances, a rate of 11.7-percent.

If I was going to lean towards one of the teams tonight, it would be Tampa Bay. Their penalty kill has been much better than Florida’s as of late, and I have more confidence in their goaltending situation. Outside of Ben Bishop, however, there aren’t many players to like in this game.
