Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – March 27

Buffalo Sabres at Nashville Predators

Buffalo has 11 goals in their last 10 games. That is not a typo. I’m done with this team for the rest of the season barring some insane percentage-fueled hot streak. It’s not even worth the DFS salary to throw darts. Literally the only guys I’ll ever take from this team is whoever starts in net (tonight is Matt Hackett). Hackett doesn’t make a bad GPP shot-in-the-dark play, but I would completely avoid everyone else for the foreseeable future.

Nashville has some wildly inconsistent scoring that is fairly impressive, if you set aside the hair-greying aspect to what this does to DFS teams: In Nashville’s last three games, they’ve averaged 4.0 goals for/game; in the three games before that, they averaged 0.67 goals for/game; in the three games before those, they averaged 3.67 goals for/game; in the four games before that, they averaged 0.75 goals for/game. In other words, in their scoring games, they’ve averaged 3.83 goals for/game; in their non-scoring games, they average 0.71 goals for/game. That’s very, very bad for DFS.

I would take Hackett in large GPP games but that’s about it. I’d rather stay away from this game altogether other than that.
