It’s not enough to know who the best plays are in NHL DFS in 2021 if you’re playing tournaments. You’ll need to know (or at least have a good idea) who will be the most popular picks and, as importantly, the low-owned sleepers. With Awesemo’s NHL ownership projections, you’ll know who the field will be on and how you can get different. A great way to see how popular your NHL daily fantasy hockey lineup is using the sum of ownership of your lineup and comparing it to other lineups to see how unique your lineup is.
If you’re savvy with Excel, you can also use the product of ownership across your lineup, as you may have a high ownership sum, but if you have one or two low-owned players, your lineup may already be very unique. If you’re hand-building a GPP lineup and already have a core group of players you know you want to play, check the ownership projection of one or two players that project similarly in order to make your final cuts!
For cash-game lineups, use ownership projections to make sure you’re not jamming in too many low-owned plays, as that could be a sign that you’re building too off-board of a lineup. For the most part, the field is sharp enough that a high-owned play likely means it’s a good play, but stuffing too many high-owned plays in your lineup makes it incredibly difficult to win a daily fantasy hockey tournament.

How To Use NHL DFS Ownership Projections
Alexander Edler was one of the best plays on this playoff slate, but he was projected for almost twice the ownership of a better DFS defenseman in Shea Theodore, who was $800 more expensive. Ownership projections are incredibly valuable to getting a unique build in daily fantasy hockey, whether you’re hand-building or using an optimizer.
