NHL Slate Summary: Saturday, October 26th

Each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, a daily fantasy hockey analyst will overview the upcoming daily fantasy hockey slate, picking out the most favorable sports to attack. NOTE: This article will primarily focus on FanDuel and DraftKings NHL DFS contests.

Saturday, October 26th

The Blackhawks and Hurricanes provide some matinee entertainment tonight, but with that game absent from the Main Slates, we’ll be focusing on what looks like a very intriguing eight-game evening slate. The potential late-night hammer, Calgary vs Winnipeg, is the 2019 Heritage Classic game which will be played outdoors at Mosaic Stadium in Regina, Saskatchewan. These outdoor games have proven to be a bit of a wildcard in the past as ice conditions, weather, sunshine, etc. have all played major factors in past events. Kevin Roth took a look at the weather for us and here was his report: “looks like snow is gone by game time, winds still 15-20mph, so it’ll be a bit breezy, but I don’t think it’s the kind of wind that would impact a hockey game.”
