Target the following players for tonight’s NHL DraftKings daily picks. 

After a slow night on Wednesday there are 10 games scheduled for tonight. That’ means that there are numerous combinations for daily fantasy lineups. FanSided has provided some high salary and high value players to target at each position.

Some interesting games will get things started and will provide several fantasy options to keep an eye on.

Vancouver has been playing well as of late and will travel to face a Boston team thats’ on a three-game winning streak. Another game to keep an eye on in the early wave is Ottawa and New Jersey. Separated by just one point and both entering with two-game winning streaks, the game will surely be a hard-fought affair that will also provide several players to target for fantasy hockey.

Also starting in one of the first games will be the battle of Pennsylvania between the Penguins and Flyers. Pittsburgh has struggled for much of the year, but some key players, namely Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, have started to heat up as of late.

The hottest team in the league, the Chicago Blackhawks, will take a 12-game winning streak into a tough matchup with Tampa Bay. Of course, anytime Chicago takes the ice all eyes are on Patrick Kane. He’s been a fantasy monster this year, putting up some gaudy numbers nearly every time he plays.

During the final group of games Dallas, San Jose and Los Angeles will all be in action and will draw plenty of interest from fantasy players.

All mention of fantasy points and salaries in the following slides refer to DraftKings scoring rules and settings.
