Check out our DraftKings daily picks for tonight’s NHL games. 

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

After a slow night of just three games Monday the NHL action will heat up tonight with nine games scheduled. There will be plenty of DraftKings contests for you to participate in, some using all nine games and some considered “turbo” using just a few of the later ones. Either way, there are a lot of different options tonight.

Some of the most fantasy-rich teams will be in action tonight, meaning that there will be some big stars that you’ll need to fit into your lineup. Tonight there will be a premium on finding hidden value so that you will be able to afford some of the top fantasy producers.

The Washington Capitals, Dallas Stars, San Jose Sharks, LA Kings, Chicago Blackhawks, Detroit Red Wings, and St. Louis Blues are all in action. There should be plenty of scoring coming out of the games featuring those teams.

While the stars will definitely be out, some other games feature guys who have been surprisingly successful in terms of fantasy hockey this year. Don’t skip over the likes of Ottawa, New Jersey and the Islanders, as all have valuable picks for your lineup.

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