Check out our DraftKings daily picks for Monday’s NHL games. 

As you research and build your daily hockey lineups on DraftKings for tonight’s slate of games be sure to check out the following slides to see our targets for each position. The slides are broken down by wingers, defenseman and goalies and feature both high salary picks as well as value picks.

There are just five games on the docket for tonight, meaning there will be a smaller pool of players to choose from, making your choices even more important. Some of the top fantasy targets will be in action and you’ll want to make sure you fit them into your lineup.

An Eastern Conference rivalry starts things off when the Washington Capitals pay a visit to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Capitals sit just a point behind Montreal for the conference lead and feature two of the best fantasy targets in Alexander Ovechkin and Braden Holtby. Pittsburgh is currently sitting just outside of playoff contention and will be playing its first game with a new head coach. The Penguins of course also feature several fantasy targets.

Another team that always provides is lot of fantasy options in Boston. The Bruins face a very good matchup at home against Edmonton and should garner a lot of attention from fantasy players. Also in action tonight in the early wave of games are the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

With no late games tonight the last two games start at 7:30 p.m. Perhaps the best game of the evening is the matchup between the LA Kings and Ottawa Senators. Ottawa will look to end a two-game losing streak while LA needs a win to keep pace with the Dallas Starts in the Western Conference.

When referencing average points and salaries, all numbers come from DraftKings. All scoring references refer to the DraftKings scoring rules.
