Sunday’s slate of games offer some interesting targets for the NHL contests on DraftKings. 

With seven games scheduled across the NHL today there will be plenty of options for filling out fantasy lineups for your NHL DraftKings daily picks. Some of the best fantasy producers will be playing today, as well as some sleeper picks that could help propel you’re lineup to a finish in the money.

The following slides highlight players to target at each position and future both high salary and high value options.

There’s a mix of afternoon and evening games, meaning that DraftKings has a variety of contests to participate in depending on which group of games you are interested in using for your lineup.

Pittsburgh and Carolina start things off with a 3:00 p.m. ET puck drop. Of course, the Penguins feature some top fantasy options. Surprisingly, Carolina has been a good source of fantasy points this year as well.

The best game of the early evening slate takes place in Washington with the Capitals hosting the New York Rangers. The two teams met in New York City last weekend and Washington pulled out an epic overtime victory. The Capitals are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games but are coming off a a disappointing performance in Buffalo Saturday night.

Chicago picked up its 10th straight win Friday night and currently owns the longest winning streak going in the NHL. The Blackhawks will put their talent-laden roster to the test in a home game tonight against Montreal, a team they just beat on Thursday.

Los Angeles, Florida and Detroit are other teams in action throughout the day on Sunday that offer several solid targets for fantasy hockey lin

When fantasy points and salaries are referenced in the following slides all DraftKings settings and scoring rules apply.
