Preparing to play Daily Fantasy Hockey tonight? In the Powerplay article today we’ll cover a lot of areas to assist in your research and make strong lineups to win your games on FanDuel.

The NHL has a ten-game schedule today with several intriguing matchups to consider for your daily fantasy hockey lineups. There are a few teams that stand out as the best targets for your cash game lineups, and with the large schedule there are a significant number of different strategies to use for your tournament teams. Let’s go through a lot of information and data to help piece together the puzzle for tonight.

TOP TEAMS TO TARGET TONIGHT FOR DAILY FANTASY HOCKEY:

Tampa Bay Lightning – Question for the Magic 8 Ball – “Can Carolina shut down the league’s top scoring team?” Answer – “All signs point to ‘No’”. The Lightning are also the biggest favorites of the night, playing against a weak Carolina team, and they are a good bet to score four goals. Either of the Lightning’s top two lines could be stacked for tournament lineups, and for cash games it is a good move to mix in a player from each of their top two lines at least, and possibly even a Bolts defenseman.

St. Louis Blues – The Blues have been one of the league’s best offensive teams this year, and they face the Islanders tonight after defeating them 6-4 in New York on Saturday. St. Louis is similar to Tampa Bay, with two high scoring forward lines and defensemen that also get in on the attack. The Blues line of Vladimir Tarasenko, Jaden Schwartz and Jori Lehtera is the place to target.

TOP GOALTENDER PLAYS

Pekka Rinne ($8,500) – Rinne has simply been the best goaltender in the NHL this season and currently has the NHL ‘triple crown’ with the most wins, and best goals-against-average and save-percentage. He has eight wins in his past 10 starts, and is coming off a shutout win last game. For tonight against a weak Coyotes team, Rinne is the top goaltender of the night.

TOP LEFT WINGER PLAYS

Patrick Marleau ($7,500) – Marleau has been one of the most consistent players lately, with a six-game point streak, and nine points during that period. He makes a great play for your cash game lineups tonight, or as part of a Sharks stack.
