I analyzed 40 NHL classic tournament slates on DraftKings from last NHL regular season. This data is from the largest-field tournaments on each slate, and all slates had 1900+ entries. Each day I took the largest GPP contest data I could get my hands on and gathered the data to look for winning trends.

NHL DFS is an exciting sweat because one late goal can completely alter the leaderboard, whereas the fantasy scoring in NBA is a lot more gradual. NHL roster construction is most similar to MLB and soccer.
