2013 Fantasy Hockey Daily Sports Fix: Friday December 20th

Last night was an absolutely huge night for me. I entered 27 contests and cashed in 25 of them, netting me a profit of $195. The secret is not only knowing who to pick, but having the willingness to make multiple lineups as a “hedge” of sorts. I used 10 different lineups last night. If you would like to view last nights article in full, you can find it here.

Our pick- Chicago

Daily Fantasy Picks:

*Ideal way to use this  is to pick one offensive position player for each category. Then, fill out your goalie spot, then allocate the rest of the money you have to your utility spots (using more forwards usually), and finally filling out your defense.

 Center:

*Pick one*

John Tavares | Center | New York Islanders | $8,400 | @ NYR

Bryan Little | Center | Winnipeg Jets | $5,900 | vs. FLA

Andrew Shaw | Center | Chicago Blackhawks | $4,200 | vs. VAN

Andrew Cogliano | Center | Anaheim Ducks | $5,200 | @ NJ

Left Wing:

*Pick one*

Patrick Sharp | Left Wing | Chicago Blackhawks | $8,100 | vs. VAN

Andrew Ladd | Left Wing | Winnipeg Jets | $5,200 | vs. FLA

Chris Kreider | Left Wing | New York Rangers | $4,200 | vs. NYI

Kris Versteeg | Left Wing | Chicago Blackhawks | $4,300 | vs. VAN

Right Wing:

*Pick one*

Patrick Kane | Right Wing | Chicago Blackhawks | $9,500 | vs. VAN

Jakob Silfverberg | Right Wing | Anaheim Ducks | $5,300 | @ NJ

Joel Ward | Right Wing | Washington Capitals | $4,600 | @ CAR

Goaltender:

*Pick one*

Ondrej Pavelec | Goalie | Winnipeg Jets | $6,000 | vs. FLA

Antti Raanta | Goalie | Chicago Blackhawks | $7,400 | vs. VAN

Defense:

*Pick two*

Duncan Keith | Defense | Chicago Blackhawks | $7,000 | vs. VAN

Johnny Oduya | Defense | Chicago Blackhawks | $3,200 | vs. VAN

Jason Garrison | Defense | Vancouver Canucks | $5,500 | @ CHI

Jay Harrison | Defense | Carolina Hurricanes | $3,600 | vs. WSH

Justin Faulk | Defense | Carolina Hurricanes | $3,800 | vs. WSH

Francois Beauchemin | Defense | Anaheim Ducks | $3,500 | @ NJ

Jacob Trouba | Defense | Winnipeg Jets | $4,200 | vs. FLA

For your utility spot, I would recommend choosing from three of the players I have listed so far, that you have not been able to roster. In addition, these players are also worthy of starting:

Kyle Okposo | New York Islanders | $6,300 | @ NYR

Thomas Vanek | New York Islanders | $6,300 | @ NYR

Saku Koivu | Anaheim Ducks | $4,300 | @ NJ

Mathieu Perreault | Anaheim Ducks | $3,500 | @ NJ

Cam Fowler | Anaheim Ducks | $5,300 | @ NJ

I am making a large amount of lineups tonight, with different combinations, but here is my favorite one:

Official Lineup:

C- Andrew Cogliano | Anaheim Ducks | $5,200

LW- Andrew Ladd | Winnipeg Jets | $5,200

RW- Jakob Silfverberg | Anaheim Ducks | $5,300
