When doing your research for you Draftings daily picks for fantasy hockey tonight be sure to use the following slides from FanSided to help with your preparation. As you click through the slides you’ll find top players to target at center, winger, defenseman and winger. Each pick will be with a high salary option or a high value choice.

There are eight games slated for tonight and with no team playing a back-to-back, the players should be well-rested.

DraftKings has several different contests to participate in featuring all or some of the games, so no matter what you choose, you’re have plenty of different options for your lineup.

One of the biggest surprises of this season thus far has been the play of Florida. That Panthers are the hottest team in the league and enter tonight’s tilt in Buffalo with a nine-game winning streak. Florida has been getting it done in all facets of the game and looks to have an excellent opportunity to make it 10 in-a-row.

Washington, a team that recently had an eight-game winning streak snapped, holds a nine-point lead in the Eastern Conference and travels to Boston to take on a Bruin team that was embarrassed its last time out in the Winter Classic.

Along with Washington and Florida featuring some obvious fantasy talent, Dallas, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Montreal have lineups stacked with fantasy targets that will draw a lot of interest tonight.

All mentioned fantasy points and salaries refer to DraftKings settings and scoring rules.
