#RedWings have placed forward Taro Hirose on waivers.

Hirose, who was signed by the Red Wings in 2018, is set to become a Group VI unrestricted free agent this summer. Should he clear waivers, he’ll be eligible to play in tomorrow’s season finale for Detroit’s AHL affiliate in Grand Rapids. However, if he’s claimed by an NHL team, he won’t be eligible to participate in the NHL postseason.

NHL Daily Fantasy Helper for 4/29/22
NHL DFS is similar to MLB in terms of how you build lineups, how you view stacking, and how to value players.
Two main points to always focus on in NHL DFS are what lines the players are on and making sure the goalies you are rostering are confirmed as the starters. Two of the best resources for that are LeftWingLock.com or DailyFaceOff.com. That is where you can find updated forward and power-play lines for each team, along with which goalies are confirmed as the starters.
Let’s jump in to take a look at today’s slate and some players to consider for your lineups.
Goalie to Target
Jake Oettinger ($8,000): The Dallas Stars didn’t take care of business the other night against the Arizona Coyotes, and now they need to pick up two points against the Anaheim Ducks. The Stars are sitting in the second wild card spot and are one point behind the Nashville Predators, so two points would help them jump over the Predators in the standings. Of course, this is if the Predators don’t pick up any points, but the Stars need to take care of business to start.
