Take a look at FanSided’s top targets for tonight’s NHL DraftKings daily picks.

When researching your DraftKings NHL lineups, always be sure to check out FanSided’s list of top players to target. The slides are organized by winger, center, defenseman and goalie and highlight both high salary and high-value picks.

The Washington Capitals are the best team in the NHL and have several players on the roster that are playing extremely well. The Caps have a four-game winning streak going and will try to stretch it to five tonight in a favorable home game against Vancouver.

Another hot team in action tonight is the Chicago Blackhawks. Winners of eight straight, the Blackhawks travel to Montreal to take on the Canadiens. The usual suspects: Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and Corey Crawford are playing extremely well and all make for popular fantasy targets.

St. Louis also boasts a lot of fantasy talent on its roster and will host a favorable game with Carolina. Other teams of interest to fantasy players tonight are Detroit, Colorado and San Jose. Edmonton is a team that’s not very good but has some very talented players that are useful in fantasy hockey.

One of the biggest surprises of the season up to this point has been the play of the Arizona Coyotes. Currently riding a four-game win streak, Arizona is one of the highest-scoring teams in the NHL.

All references in the following slides of fantasy salaries and average fantasy points refer to the settings and scoring rules set up by DraftKings.
