Hey everyone. Its April and we are nearing the end of the NHL regular season before the playoffs start. Our slate for tonight consists of 10 games games. Read below for April 2nd fantasy projections and keep reading to understand how it all works.


The site that I like to use is FanDuel and the projections are based on their main slate of games . So you have 2 tiers of lineup for the Center (C), Wings (W), Defenseman (D), and Goalie (G ) positions. Depending on the slate of games I will usually name up to 3 players for each position. The first tier is made up of players from a moderate to a high price. The second tier is made up of low to moderate price players. You'll need a combination of both tiers to use your total salary wisely. One heads up is that you may find the same goalies on both tiers and that's cause goalies are fairly high in price.

W: Nikita Kucherov 9200 Jake Guentzel 7800 Blake Wheeler 7700
