Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – December 29

New York Islanders at Minnesota Wild

This game could be a massacre:

Capuano says Tavares is an after lunch decision. Bailey and Grabner are out for #isles

Uh oh. Even if John Tavares does play, you have to wonder just how healthy he is.

The Islanders could be without three of their top six forwards for tonight’s game, it’s their second game in two nights, and backup Kevin Poulin will be in net. Even without Zach Parise, this should be a landslide win for the Wild.

Even though Minnesota lost on Friday night in Winnipeg, it was good to see them put up four goals in the loss, seeing as they had scored four goals in their three previous games combined. Struggled as they have, the Wild have won four straight games at home and this game is as easy a matchup as it gets. Stream the Wild players (and starting goaltender Josh Harding) at will tonight.
