Check out our DraftKings daily picks for Tuesday’s slate of 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 light schedule for the past two days, Tuesday night brings a full slate of NHL action with 11 total games. With so many players on the ice in one night the possibilities for fantasy lineups are virtually endless.

There are different waves of contests you could participate in tonight on DraftKings depending on whether or not you choose to use the entire schedule or just a group of the games that begin a bit later. Either way, you will have to scour the rosters to find the right amount of value picks to go along with your big money selections.

Dallas, San Jose and Montreal are all in action and all feature several fantasy studs that will be popular targets night. The Stars host Columbus while the Sharks and Canadiens square off together.

The biggest storyline of the night will be Patrick Kane. The star winger and his Chicago teammates are hosting Colorado with Kane looking to extend his point streak to 27 games. It’s already the longest streak since the 1992-93 season.

Two interesting games to keep an eye on for fantasy purposes will be the Devils versus the Sabres and the Islanders hosting the Panthers. All four teams, while not lighting up the standings, contain several surprising fantasy options.

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