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

Finding the perfect combination of players for daily fantasy hockey games on DraftKings can prove to be difficult at times. The following slides will attempt to help you find some of the best targets of the night at each position.

Saturday means that you don’t have to wait until the evening for some great NHL action. There’s bonus hockey today with two games in the afternoon featuring interesting storylines.

Chicago and Buffalo start things off  and all eyes will be on star winger Patrick Kane. Not only is he playing in his hometown, but he will try to begin a new point streak after getting an assist Thursday night. Earlier in the week Kane had a 26-game point streak snapped.

The other afternoon game features the red-hot Calgary Flames. Fresh off an upset over Dallas, the Flames have now won seven straight and will look to extend their streak in another tough matchup today at St. Louis.

Los Angeles, Montreal, Pittsburgh and Dallas are teams to keep an eye on during the evening games.

Whenever the Dallas Stars are in action they garner a lot of attention from fantasy players. Dallas is the highest-scoring team in the league and boasts two of the best fantasy players in Tyler Seguin and Jamie Benn.

Edmonton, Colorado, Arizona and the New York Islanders are all in action during the late wave of games Saturday night.

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