Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – February 27

Minnesota Wild at Edmonton Oilers

Until Mikko Koivu returns, the Wild are a one line team. But that line of Zach Parise, Mikael Granlund and Jason Pominville is pretty, pretty good.

The Wild went 6-3-1 in their final 10 games going into the break and a lot of it was the play of goaltender Darcy Kuemper. The third string goalie has kept this team afloat with a .917 save percentage this season and just 17 goals against in his final seven games before the break. Having Parise, Granlund, and Ryan Suter return to the team so late from Sochi is not ideal, though. Heading out on the road right away is even worse.

The Oilers made one major lineup change to their team and that was putting Ales Hemsky on the second line with Sam Gagner and moving David Perron down to the third line with Boyd Gordon. The heart of this team is still the top line, but this certainly gives a value boost to Hemsky and downgrades Perron. Their most important performer, though, is goaltender Ben Scrivens and he was dominant for the team heading into the break.

There aren’t many good spots to rely on Oilers players because of plus/minus concerns but this game is one of them. They worry me enough that I won’t outright stack their players but I will have some of them sprinkled throughout cash game lineups.
