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.

Tonight is the last set of NHL games prior to the 5-day All-Star Break. There is a six-game schedule going tonight, including a great Pittsburgh – Chicago battle, and a couple great match-ups on the west coast. Some teams might be “mailing it in” already, leading up to the break, while others will look to close out the season’s unofficial “first half” with a victory, and enjoy some much needed time off.

Today’s article will provide analysis for the teams in action, top teams to target for daily fantasy, recommend players for FanDuel, and even sample lineups that could be used to help build ones for tonight’s play.

Top Teams to Target Tonight for Daily Fantasy Hockey

Anaheim Ducks – The Ducks are finishing the first half of the season on a high note, winning six of their past seven games, and taking over the league lead for most points. Their offense has really been coming through, scoring four or more goals in five of those seven games. The Ducks’ top line (Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry, Patrick Maroon) is very productive and is definitely worth targeting, along with defensemen Sami Vatanen and Cam Fowler. For tournament lineups, the Ducks’ second line could also be used in order to be different from the crowd.

Recommended Plays for FanDuel

TOP GOALTENDER PLAYS

Michael Hutchinson ($7,300) – Hutchinson has been outstanding for the Jets this year (13 wins, 2.00 GAA, .932 SvPct), and draws another favorable start tonight at home to a Columbus team that ranks near the bottom of the league in goal scoring. His salary is still very moderate and he makes a great VALUE play tonight in any game format.

TOP LEFT WINGER PLAYS

Patrick Maroon ($5,100) – Maroon has really been producing on the Ducks’ top line lately, and if he continues this run he may find a permanent home with the two Anaheim superstars. He currently has back-to-back multi-point games (along with a plus rating each game, and a few shots), and he’s in a great spot to continue that streak tonight. Using Maroon is a great way to get exposure to the Ducks’ top line and top powerplay unit.
