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

As you take a break from all of the football games today to build your daily fantasy hockey lineup be sure to check out the following slides that are intended to help with your research. You’ll find both high salary picks and value targets for each position.

Although Sundays are dominated by football, hockey fans can get their fill today with six NHL games on the docket. The action heats up at 4:00 p.m. ET and runs all the way through the evening.

The tree earlier games feature Vancouver taking on Florida, New Jersey visiting Boston and Ottawa traveling to Tampa Bay. Those three games alone contain plenty of fantasy targets for your lineup. Florida will be going for its fourth win in-a-row while Boston will look to extend its streak to three.

Washington, the top team in the Eastern Conference, has a four-game winning streak and will face off their playoff nemesis the New York Rangers. That game will have plenty of fantasy implications, as will the battle between Chicago and San Jose.

The biggest surprise of December so far has been the Calgary Flames, who had won seven game in-a-row before falling to the Blues 3-2 on Saturday. The Flames are in the middle of a brutal road stretch that have taken them to Dallas, St. Louis and now Detroit.

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.
