11 games are scheduled around the NHL Thursday night, meaning that there will be plenty of fantasy action to participate in on DraftKings. After just two games on Wednesday, fantasy players will have a plethora of options available to use in fantasy lineups.
Fantasy powerhouses Chicago, San Jose and Dallas are all in action, making some of the best players in the NHL available for tonight. When Chicago takes the ice keep an eye on winger Patrick Kane, who will look to begin a new streak after his 26-game point streak was finally snapped on Tuesday.
One of the best games of the evening pits one of the top teams from the Western Conference against one of the top teams from the Eastern Conference when the Los Angeles Kings visit the Montreal Canadiens.
The biggest surprise team lately has been Calgary. The Flames have won six straight games and have begun to climb out of the Western Conference basement. However, a tough road game in Dallas could bring the winning streak to an end tonight.
There will be plenty of fantasy options tonight and several very interesting matchups thanks to the fact that there are some conference crossover games among teams that rarely see each other.
When referencing average points and salaries, all numbers come from DraftKings. All scoring references refer to the DraftKings scoring rules.
