Use the following slides as you research your NHL DraftKings daily picks for January 12. 

When researching for your fantasy hockey lineup on DraftKings tonight take a look at the following slides to help with your research. You’ll find high salary and high value picks to target at each position.

It will be a busy night around the league on Tuesday with eight total games scheduled. There are no real late games but DraftKings still has different contests options, meaning you won’t have to necessarily use every game.

Two games featuring average teams get the action started with Columbus, the Islanders, Pittsburgh and Carolina all on the ice. Though struggling this year, Pittsburgh, in particular has several players that are usually targeted for fantasy hockey.

San Jose, St. Louis and Minnesota are three other teams that will draw plenty of fantasy interest.

The Chicago Blackhawks are another team that will provide several players you’ll want to target tonight. Chicago is on a seven-game winning streak heading into tonight’s tilt with Nashville. Of course, one of the best players in the league and a top fantasy option is Patrick Kane, who is once again producing at a high rate.

One of the bigger surprises around the league this year is the Arizona. the Coyotes are 7-1-2 in their last 10 games and have won three straight games. Fantasy players have found themselves targeting players in Arizona more frequently than some would have imagined.

In the following slides, all references to fantasy points and salaries refer to DraftKings scoring rules and settings.
