Daily Fantasy Hockey DFS Value Update – April 5

Ed Mulholland-USA TODAY Sports

Nashville Predators at San Jose Sharks

Nashville went into Anaheim last night and won convincingly 5-2. This team is riding a pretty hot streak of scoring with 29 goals in their last seven games, shooting an amazing 15.5-percent along the way. Those streaks tend to wear off fairly quickly, though, and going into San Jose is exactly one way for that to happen. For argument’s sake, I will probably just avoid this team because it seems like feast-or-famine and famine seems like a good bet for tonight.

The Sharks are just 4-3-2 in their last nine games but there are a lot of positives here: The team has converted for 10 power play goals in those nine games and they have managed 25 goals for along the way, providing at least some DFS value. The team has also allowed four power play goals against in their last four games and with a power play as proficient as Nashville’s, they’ll want to shore that up really quickly.

The Sharks have already lost two one-goal games to the Predators this year which should give us an indication of how much more evenly matched the Predators seem to be. That said, it’s still a back to back on the road and I don’t trust Nashville that much. Look for Sharks goaltending and Sharks skaters for 50/50 games, avoiding stacking them unless it’s a shot in the dark.
