NHL DFS: The Point Shot – April 8, 2022

Key Skaters

C Aleksander Barkov (FLA)

  • Barkov is one of the hottest players in hockey right now with multiple points in four straight games and now gets a great matchup with the lowly Buffalo Sabres. Barkov has a goal and four assists in his last two games against the Sabres; both Panther wins with a combined 11 goals scored.

W Mikko Rantanen (COL)

  • With points in six straight and now 84 points in 67 games this season, Rantanen should be more expensive than $6,700 in a good matchup like this one against Winnipeg. The Avalanche have won three straight games and have scored four or more goals in two of those victories as they prime themselves for a deep Stanley Cup Playoff run.
