Six NHL games tonight will provide several top targets for some DraftKings daily picks. 

The following slides will help with your planning and research for your NHL lineup on DraftKings tonight. You’ll find players to target at each position; some that will cost you a ton of cap space and some that are considered nice sleeper picks.

Six games are on the docket this Friday night. While that isn’t a large number, some of the top fantasy producers will be in action, making for some interesting games. DraftKings is offering contests featuring all or just some of tonight’s games.

No matter which type of contest you enter there are countless lineup combinations you could choose for tonight.

Featured during the early slate of games will be the Chicago Blackhawks, fresh off a win Thursday night in Montreal. The streak is now up to nine wins for the Blackhawks and they will look to keep rolling in a very favorable matchup with Toronto tonight. Chicago is loaded with talent and the likes of Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are always popular fantasy targets.

A matchup of two teams fighting to stay in the playoff hunt takes place in Tampa when the Penguins come calling. Although both teams have struggled at times this season, fantasy players will surely want to look closely at the game, as some very popular fantasy targets will be in action.

Carolina is also in action tonight and will be looking to stretch its winning streak to five games.

The final game of the night features the Dallas Stars, a team that’s absolutely loaded with fantasy talent.
