Here are theScore's sample NHL daily fantasy lineups for Wednesday, March 16:
Cash Game Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Evander Kane (BUF) | vs. MTL |
| LW | Jaden Schwartz (STL) | at EDM |
| RW | Jarome Iginla (COL) | at VAN |
| RW | Vladimir Tarasenko (STL) | at EDM |
| C | Henrik Sedin (VAN) | vs.COL |
| C | Nathan MacKinnon (COL) | at VAN |
| D | Zach Bogosian (BUF) | vs. MTL |
| D | Tyson Barrie (COL) | at VAN |
| G | Scott Darling (CHI) | vs. PHI |
Schwartz and Tarasenko should dismantle the Oilers' porous defense and are both staples in cash games. Roster Iginla and MacKinnon so you have exposure on both of the Avalanche's scoring lines versus the Canucks' feeble defense. Darling isnt your ideal cash game goalie, but has a good chance at recording the win at home to return his modest cost.
GPP Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Taylor Hall (EDM) | vs. STL |
| LW | Robby Fabbri (STL) | at EDM |
| RW | Jarome Iginla (COL) | at VAN |
| RW | Blake Wheeler (WPG) | at CGY |
| C | Rickard Rakell (ANA) | vs. NYR |
| C | Jack Eichel (BUF) | vs. MTL |
| D | Zach Bogosian (BUF) | vs. MTL |
| D | Shayne Gostisbehere (PHI) | at CHI |
| G | Michal Neuvirth (PHI) | at CHI |
Hall will face low-ownership and is worth a flier at home against the Blues. Fabbri's cheap price and current five game point streak should be rolled, especially against the lowly Oilers. DFSers should bank on Neuvirth facing plenty of shots and hope he keeps the score somewhat low.
Cash Game With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Sean Monahan (CGY) | vs. WPG |
| C | Brayden Schenn (PHI) | at CHI |
| W | Artemi Panarin (CHI) | vs. PHI |
| W | Mikkel Boedker (COL) | at VAN |
| W | David Perron (ANA) | vs. NYR |
| D | Kevin Shattenkirk (STL) | at EDM |
| D | Ben Hutton (VAN) | vs. COL |
| G | John Gibson (ANA) | vs. NYR |
| UTIL | Mathieu Perreault (WPG) | at CGY |
Panarin and is a safe cash-game play with a tremendously high-floor against the Flyers' middling defense. Schenn and Perron are skating on the Flyers' and Ducks' respective first lines and should return value. Perreault's floor is limited, but against the lowly Flames, a multi-point night could be in the cards for the crafty playmaker.
GPP With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Sean Monahan (CGY) | vs. WPG |
| C | David Backes (STL) | at EDM |
| W | Johnny Gaudreau (CGY) | vs. WPG |
| W | Mikkel Boedker (COL) | at VAN |
| W | David Perron (ANA) | vs. NYR |
| D | Tyson Barrie (COL) | at VAN |
| D | Sami Vatanen (ANA) | vs. NYR |
| G | Chad Johnson (BUF) | vs. MTL |
| UTIL | Robby Fabbri (STL) | at EDM |
Backes, Boedker, Perron and Vatanen will be underowned Wednesday night and make stellar contrarian plays. Monahan and Gaudreau give DFSers exposure to one of the highest scoring games on the slate. With Montreal struggling to stay healthy, Johnson's floor will never be higher.
