The biggest slate since the break comes on Friday night on the ice as there are eight NHL matchups. A big slate brings a big list of potential skaters to roster in our DFS lineups but there are a few players at each position that float to the top of the list.
The Weighted Consensus for the NHL uses each expert’s current DailyOverlay score to generate a Weighted Consensus ranking. To calculate the Weighted Rank Score, each expert’s DailyOverlay score for players is weighted on a sliding scale from 1 to 5 with the top expert in the current standings being weighted with a five while the last place expert is weighted with a one. This method gives the higher rated experts picks more weight when compiling the overall player rankings for the day. We will include all players that are selected by at least two experts.
Here is the NHL Weighted Consensus list for February 1:
