Check out our DraftKings fantasy targets for Monday’s slate of NHL games. 

When filling out your lineup for tonight’s DraftKings fantasy hockey contests be sure to go through the following slides to help with your research. You’ll find both high salary and high value targets at each position for tonight’s NHL games.

Monday is a bit of a lighter night with just six games scheduled. The hottest team in the league, the Washington Capitals, is in action. Washington has won seven straight games and amazingly superstar Alexander Ovechkin has only registered points in two of those wins, though one of the games was a four-point effort. The Capitals get a favorable matchup with Buffalo, a team that could be missing a key player in Evander Kane.

Montreal is also in action and will look to end its losing ways. The Canadiens have lost six games and have fallen from first place to sixth place in the Eastern Conference.

The Red Wings, Rangers and Wild are all playing in games that start at 8:00 p.m. ET and will provide several layers to target for daily fantasy hockey. New York currently sits in second place in the Eastern Conference but is 10 points behind Washington. A win tonight in Nashville is necessary to keep pace with the streaking Capitals.

The late wave of games features the LA Kings visiting the Vancouver Canucks and the Colorado Avalanche taking on the San Jose Sharks.

All average fantasy points and salaries referred to in the following slides are provided by DraftKings.
