Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – March 16

San Jose Sharks at New York Rangers

The Sharks are looking to wrap up their quick three-game Eastern road swing with their third win as they head to Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are looking to find some consistent scoring as they are just 3-4-1 this month as they have managed an average of 2.50 goals/game in March.

The Sharks still don’t have a regulation loss this month (6-0-1) and they have managed 15 out of a possible 18 points since the Olympics (7-1-1). Their scoring is absolutely rolling right now as they’ve managed at least three goals in seven straight games and haven’t scored fewer than two since February 1^st.

The Rangers went into Winnipeg on Friday night, got outplayed, but still managed to win on the back of a Carl Hagelin hat trick. This team has really, really struggled to find their scoring groove and it’s tough to say they will find it against a Sharks team that is deeper than them in all facets.

The Rangers went into San Jose at the start of the year and got absolutely shelled 9-2 (the infamous Tomas Hertl between-the-legs game). This is a different Rangers team now, but it’s largely the same Sharks team. I expect a fairly high-scoring game here and that makes several players in this game worthwhile in DFS. I would avoid both goalies, though.
