The following NHL fantasy targets will help with your January 20 DraftKings daily picks. 

Tonight makes for a tough night as far as fantasy hockey goes due to the fact that there are just three games to pick players from. There will be a premium on finding the perfect combination of top performers and sleeper picks. Of course, most of the top guys carry a high ownership number on nights like tonight, so it’s the guys that few know much about who make all the difference.

To help with your planning and research, FanSided has provided the top targets at each position tonight. Most of the big-name fantasy studs won’t be on the ice, but that doesn’t mean that there are not still some great targets floating around out there ready to be used in your DraftKings lineup. 

St. Louis and Detroit start things off tonight in what should make for a very entertaining game. Both teams feature several players who will be popular fantasy choices for lineups.

The last two games of the night don’t look exciting on paper because of some recent struggles, but will carry some fantasy significance. Buffalo visits Colorado in a matchup of two teams that have been struggling lately. Still, with so few options tonight, fantasy players will need to look to this game for some lineup selections.

In the last game of the night, the surging Anaheim Ducks host the Minnesota Wild. Anaheim has benefited from stellar play lately from some unexpected sources and will be a popular place to look to tonight for fantasy lineups.

All mention of salaries and fantasy points refer to DraftKings scoring rules and settings.
