With games going on all day Saturday, there are plenty of top NHL fantasy targets for your DraftKings daily picks. 

It’s a hockey lover’s dream on Saturday, with games going on nearly all day, meaning that there will be countless combinations available for daily fantasy hockey lineups. DraftKings will, of course, have contests running all day.

FanSided has provided you with players to target at each position, just be aware that not all players may be available. It all depends on which contests you decide to participate in.

The Eastern Conference will be on display early Saturday with four teams kicking things off at 1:00 p.m. ET. The New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers meet in a rivalry game, while the Washington Capitals travel to New Jersey. The Capitals are the best team in the NHL and feature plenty of fantasy firepower. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to take advantage unless you are playing in the early contests.

An interesting team to watch early is Edmonton. The Oilers have been energized by the return of top draft pick Connor McDavid and have exploded offensively in the two games since his return.

As the evening action starts up, a game to keep an eye on will be Florida taking on Pittsburgh. The Panthers have been the surprise of the season thus far and are in the middle of another winning streak. Currently it sits at five games, and they will look to pick up another victory and keep pace with Washington in the Eastern Conference.

While there are a ton of top options in action early on Saturday, don’t overlook some of the later games. Dallas, Chicago and San Jose always get a lot of looks from those looking for very good fantasy targets.

DraftKings scoring rules and settings apply to all references of  fantasy points and salaries in the following slides.
