Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – March 18

Nashville Predators at Edmonton Oilers

It’s really been an odd season for the Predators. Since the first of February, the Predators have scored nine goals in seven home games but 15 goals in five road games. They are also 1-6-0 at home since February 1^st and 3-0-2 on the road. They are actually a better road team over the course of the season than a home team and that’s not what we’re used to from Nashville. The power play has been a bit cold of late, going 2-for-24 since March 1^st. The penalty kill, however, has been stellar with a 90-percent success rate since the first of March.

Edmonton has actually managed a pretty good month of March, going 4-2-2 so far. They have managed to give up two goals or fewer in five of those eight games as well. The goaltending has been a big part of this as only one of those eight games has seen their goalies produce a save percentage under .900 (a 6-2 loss to St. Louis). The penalty killing has been a big part of this as they have produced an 85.2-percent efficiency for the month of March.

I have a really tough time getting a read on this game. Nashville seems to be playing well on the road but the Oilers have played good hockey for the last couple of weeks. The Vegas odds have this game as nearly a coin-flip as well so I would probably just avoid this game except for a couple of value picks from either side.
