Check out the following slides to help with your DraftKings daily picks for fantasy hockey for January 4. 

As you research and pour through information to make your DraftKings daily picks for fantasy hockey tonight be sure to let FanSided help you out. You’ll find top targets for tonight broken down by each position. Each slide features both high salary and high value picks, as finding a combination of both is necessary to be successful in daily fantasy sports.

Only five games are on the docket for tonight, meaning that several of the stars will likely have high ownership numbers, putting a premium on finding the right sleeper picks for your lineup. Although there are just five games, DraftKings offers a variety of contests featuring all or only some of tonight’s games.

Starting the night off is a good Eastern Conference battle between the Detroit Red Wings and the New Jersey Devils. The teams are tied with 45 points and offer some interesting targets for fantasy hockey. Also in action during the first part of the even will be the Ottawa Senators and the St. Louis Blues. That’s another game that offers several players worth targeting for your lineup.

The later wave of games will see five mediocre teams and one top team in action. The fantasy-rich LA Kings, currently riding a five-game winning streak, will head to Colorado to take on the Avalanche. Carolina, Edmonton, Arizona and Vancouver have all been struggling this season but still offer value in terms of fantasy hockey.

Any mention of fantasy points and salaries in the following slides come from DraftKings.
