NHL DFS Expert Recap and Grading – Week of February 8th

Top NHL DFS Experts

We graded three NHL slates this past week and Awesemo – Power Plays had the top recommendations of the week. They were followed very closely by RotoGrinders Consensus and DFSArmy – Cheat Sheet.

The Top 3 in the Overall Standings remained the same this week with Awesemo – Projections leading the way, followed by RotoGrinders – Slate Summary, and DFSArmy – Cheat Sheet.

Check out the top experts on the Overall Leaderboard and as always you can check out the full NHL Expert Standings to make sure that you’re up to speed on who is making the grade. Also, review how all the NHL DFS analysts fared this past week with a day-by-day breakdown of each score and ranking for the day and the week. We also post the Ownership Percentages by position by count which are used to help project player ownership in our Weighted Consensus article every day.
