Check out our DraftKings daily picks for today’s slate of  NHL games. 

As you research and make your DraftKings daily picks for today’s slate of hockey games be sure to check out the following slides to see our targets for each position. The slides are broken down by wingers, defensemen and goalies and feature both high salary picks as well as value picks.

Sunday is usually a slow day in the NHL, but that’s not the case today. There are seven games and many different options to build your lineup on DraftKings today.

The fantasy contests get rolling at 5:00 p.m. ET today with Arizona visiting Carolina and Winnipeg traveling to Chicago. The game between the Coyotes and Hurricanes won’t offer much in the way of fantasy, though there are a few options you’ll want to look at. The Blackhawks are always a popular team among fantasy players, especially when going up against a team like the Jets.

If you’re not interested in the early games, you’ll find plenty of action with the five night games.

The Panthers match up with the Devils in a game that will surprisingly have a bunch of fantasy options. Pittsburgh, Los Angeles and the New York Rangers are the three best teams that are in action tonight. Be careful though, as the Penguins and Kings both played yesterday and could suffer from a bit of fatigue.

An interesting game for fantasy purposes is Buffalo versus Edmonton. Both teams struggle to both score and stop opponents, meaning that something has to give and there may be some fantasy value hiding in the matchup.

When referencing average points and salaries, all numbers come from DraftKings. All scoring references refer to the DraftKings scoring rules.
