Check out our DraftKings daily picks for Friday’s slate of NHL games. 

The NHL season rolls on and so do the daily fantasy contests on DraftKings. The following slides are broken down by position and are intended to help you build your lineup for tonight’s games.

It’s a slower night in the NHL Friday with just 12 teams in action but that still means there will be plenty of DraftKings contests to do, some including all six games or for those of you that prefer the turbo contests you’ll have a smaller pool of players to choose from.

The Washington Capitals are playing great hockey and have used a three-game winning streak to take over first place in the Eastern Conference. They will try to keep things rolling when they host Tampa Bay tonight, a team coming in with back-to-back wins.

Another Eastern Conference battles features the Boston Bruins and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Bruins just blanked the Penguins 3-0 Wednesday night. Boston provides several solid producers of fantasy points and Pittsburgh, though struggling this season, has some of the top fantasy options available on its roster.

Detroit, San Jose, Ottawa and the New York Rangers are other teams in action tonight that you will want to check out for fantasy targets.

All fantasy scoring numbers referenced refer DraftKings settings.
