Each day, one of our NHL experts will be providing recommended player picks for your daily fantasy hockey lineups. The goal is to help you build the optimal cash game (50/50s/double-ups/head-to-head) lineup.

Thursday, November 2nd

The second day of November presents us with an outstanding 12 games of National Hockey League action on this Thursday evening. The Boston Bruins, Tampa Bay Lightning and St. Louis Blues are your biggest favorites, and we have three teams (Pittsburgh Penguins, Philadelphia Flyers and the Toronto Maple Leafs) playing on the tail end of a back-to-back.

NOTE: Make sure to check the RotoGrinders Starting Goalies Page page prior to game time, to confirm that the goalies listed below are starting.

Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins – The Boston Bruins are the biggest favorite on the board tonight as they host an overrated Vegas Golden Knights squad. The Golden Knights started off the year on fire, but they have since cooled off, and I expect them to lose their third consecutive game tonight at the TD Garden. Tuukka Rask has not been at his best this season, but I expect him to turn things around, starting tonight with this favorable matchup on home ice.
