Filling in Your Sunday NHL Lineups
Here are theScore's sample lineups for Sunday, March 27:
Cash Game Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Artemi Panarin (CHI) | at VAN |
| LW | Reid Boucher (NJ) | at CAR |
| RW | Kyle Palmieri (NJ) | at CAR |
| RW | Patrick Kane (CHI) | at VAN |
| C | Victor Rask (CAR) | vs. NJ |
| C | Sidney Crosby (PIT) | at NYR |
| D | Duncan Keith (CHI) | at VAN |
| D | Trevor Daley (PIT) | at NYR |
| G | Scott Darling (CHI) | at VAN |
Panarin and Kane are a great duo on this short slate given the matchup against Vancouver. Kane is surprisingly cheap on some DFS sites. Boucher and Palmieri and very inexpensive. This leaves you with enough cash to draft Crosby, even though he has a tough matchup. Darling should pickup the win.
GPP Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| LW | Daniel Sedin (VAN) | vs. CHI |
| LW | Rick Nash (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| RW | Elias Lindholm (CAR) | vs. NJ |
| RW | Phil Kessel (PIT) | at NYR |
| C | Nick Bonino (PIT) | at NYR |
| C | Henrik Sedin (VAN) | vs. CHI |
| D | Kris Letang (PIT) | at NYR |
| D | Justin Faulk (CAR) | vs. NJ |
| G | Ryan Miller (VAN) | vs. CHI |
See Bargain Plays for a logical explanation on rostering Miller versus the Blackhawks. The Sedin twins are a cheap duo with plenty of upside. Kessel and Bonino combined for 10 points in Saturday's blowout over the Red Wings. Faulk's price has plummeted since returning from injury.
Cash Game With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Jonathan Toews (CHI) | at VAN |
| C | Derick Brassard (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| W | Andrew Ladd (CHI) | at VAN |
| W | Rick Nash (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| W | Kyle Palmieri (NJ) | at CAR |
| D | Keith Yandle (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| D | Trevor Daley (PIT) | at NYR |
| G | Scott Wedgewood (NJ) | at CAR |
| UTIL | Marian Hossa (CHI) | at VAN |
Toews, Ladd and Hossa could do some damage against a youthful Canucks squad. Brassard has six points in four games while his linemate Nash is vastly underpriced after struggling post-injury, but he's now scored two goals in his last three games. Wedgewood has a 0.66 GAA in three games.
GPP With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| C | Henrik Sedin (VAN) | vs. CHI |
| C | Derick Brassard (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| W | Daniel Sedin (VAN) | vs. CHI |
| W | Rick Nash (NYR) | vs. PIT |
| W | Phil Kessel (PIT) | at NYR |
| D | Ryan Murphy (CAR) | vs. NJ |
| D | Kris Letang (PIT) | at NYR |
| G | Ryan Miller (VAN) | vs. CHI |
| UTIL | Nick Bonino (PIT) | at NYR |
Murphy is an extremely skilled offensive defenseman still finding his way in the NHL. Letang has eight points (four on the power play) in his last 10 games. Again, Bargain Plays takes a deeper look at Miller's prospects against Chicago.
