Pepsi7's NHL Core Plays: Friday, December 1st

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.

Friday, December 1st

We kick off the weekend with eight games of National Hockey League action. The Columbus Blue Jackets, Winnipeg Jets, New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues are tonight’s biggest favorites, and we have two teams (Los Angeles Kings and the Vegas Golden Knights) 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.

Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue Jackets – The Columbus Blue Jackets are tonight’s biggest favorite as they host a banged up Anaheim Ducks squad in the midst of a long six-game road trip. The Ducks are missing some key offensive players, which is why their offense has struggled all year long (25th in shots per game and 27th in goals per game), and they do not pose much of an offensive threat tonight. Bobrovsky is the best goalie in the National Hockey League, and he should cruise to an easy victory tonight. Bobrovsky may not see a ton of rubber tonight, but he may stop every shot he does see.
