NHL – Industry Expert Consensus – February 7th
There is a massive 14-game NHL slate on Thursday night. That gives us a long list of potential options to fill out our DFS lineups.
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 7:
