Probably gonna load up with Montoya and FLA in a couple, in case they light it up again.
Tonight's slate is a medium slate. Some interesting lineup shifts.

Picked all the good players (Spezza,Josi,Rinne) but didn't have them in the right contests or all together, every time.
I was up $270 last night until Miller got the shutout.
Had $1 in the account, up to $145 now lol

Don't lose it all in one night!
Haven't made one in a couple of days now. I'll probably enter one tonight or tomorrow.
Two nights in a row the late shutout killed me!
A couple guys who were just trailing me got the Smith shutout!

I've been screwing around on DraftKings this year after depositing $25.
I like the massive tournaments that cost $2-3 enter and have a huge pool and top prize, cause they're exciting.
Having done no research or analysis on the issue it seems to me the best way to play is to go high-risk/high-reward and stack yourself with players from 2 teams + 1 guy from 3rd team (skaters need to be from 3 teams). Bonus points for picking a team that flys a little under the radar because, if you pick the Lightning or Pens to light it up likely a large portion of the field had them to, whereas if you were on the Arizona train yesterday you probably beat the field handily. Anyways, I'm riding high because I had my first cash yesterday with the following lineup:
Pos Player FPTS
C Claude Giroux 4.5 lock
C Kyle Turris 6 lock
W Michael Raffl 4.5 lock
W Mark Stone 4 lock
W Jakub Voracek 4 lock
D Erik Karlsson 10 lock
D Mark Streit 2 lock
G Craig Anderson 7.6 lock
UTIL Bryan Bickell 1 lock
Total Fantasy Points: 43.60
The sick part was I had Neuvirth in goal instead and then went with Anderson at the last minute, which caused me to drop Zibanejad for Raffl.

I always enter a lineup from at least each team I think will win, into a couple of contests, since buy-ins are so low I usually make a little bit or break even on these.
I obviously try and draft a dream team with great/value players from each team, I haven't hit anything bit with a big combo team entry yet.
The guys who win big spread out their lineups and end up drafting the best players out of everyone.
Here are some of the big winners from the past couple of days:
Lindholm CAR - 5.5
Spezza DAL - 14.5
Marleau SJS - 2.5
Sharp DAL - 4
Skinner CAR - 1.5
Faulk CAR - 4
Josi NAS - 8.5
Jones SJS - 11.2
Hemsky DAL - 4
Winnings: $15,000 (55.70 Points)
Eichel BUF - 4.5
Krejci BOS - 5
Parise MIN - 13.5
Pastrnak BOS - 4.5
Wheeler WPG - 5.5
Krug BOS - 2
Letang PIT - 5
Niemi DAL - 16.4
Vanek MIN - 5
Winnings: $10,000 (61.40 Points)
Kadri TOR - 4.5
Sedin VAN - 5.5
Pacioretty MTL - 8.5
Sedin VAN - 10.5
JVR TOR - 5
Burns SJS - 8
Subban MTL - 8.5
Miller VAN - 7.8
Sutter VAN - 6.5
Winnings: $5,000 (64.80 points)
