Pepsi7's NHL Core Plays: Wednesday, January 10th

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.

Wednesday, January 10th

As we roll into hump day we have another typically quiet Wednesday night of National Hockey League action with just two games on tap. The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Chicago Blackhawks are your favorites, and we have two teams (Ottawa Senators and the Minnesota Wild) playing on consecutive nights.

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

Frederik Andersen, Toronto Maple Leafs – The Toronto Maple Leafs are by far the biggest favorite on the board tonight, which moves Frederik Andersen to the top of our cash game list. The Ottawa Senators have not only struggled to score this season (22nd overall in the National Hockey League in goals per game, and 30th overall in goals per game on the road), but they are also a banged up team, playing their second game in as many nights. Andersen should cruise to an easy victory this evening at the ACC, and with the Maple Leafs giving up the third-most shots against per game (33.9), he is bound to make 30-plus saves in the process.
