As you make tonight’s DraftKings daily picks for fantasy hockey be sure to check out our top targets. 

As you build your daily fantasy hockey lineup on DraftKings tonight be sure to check out the following slides to help. You’ll find both high-priced players and value players to target at each position.

The Washington Capitals start things off with a road game against the Islanders. The Capitals have been playing great hockey lately and now own the best record in the NHL. Of course, there are several fantasy targets in Washington you’ll want to pay attention to.

Though in second place in the Eastern Conference and still nine points behind Washington, the Florida Panthers are actually the hottest team in the league with a 10-game winning streak. The play of several key veterans as well as some newcomers has made Florida the surprise of the year thus far.

An obvious place to look for fantasy talent, the Dallas Stars, will also be action this evening. Dallas, coming off a horrible performance against New York on Tuesday, will look to bounce back tonight at home in a favorable matchup with Winnipeg.

One of the more under the radar yet interesting games of the evening features the Arizona Coyotes and the Calgary Flames. Both teams have had surprising seasons and are in the thick of the playoff race in the Western Conference. Plus, several hidden daily fantasy gems can be found on both rosters.

Other teams of fantasy interest in action tonight are Los Angeles, San Jose and Detroit.

When you see fantasy points and salaries mentioned in the following slides all DraftKings settings and scoring rules are used.
