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 smaller 5-game schedule today, with most games having tight Vegas lines and no major favorite on the board. It is a little more difficult tonight to determine who to use in your FanDuel lineups, but that is exactly the purpose of this article.

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

Anaheim Ducks – On a night without any clear team to target, the Ducks get the nod as the #1 team. Anaheim leads the NHL with most points, and are amongst the league leaders in goals. They’ve also won eight of their last nine games, with 27 goals scored in that span. The Ducks have two lines that are scoring every night, even with Corey Perry sidelined. Star center Ryan Getzlaf has really stepped up and has been contributing points regardless of who he is playing with. The supporting cast of Matt Beleskey, Ryan Kesler, Devante Smith-Pelly and Sami Vatanen are also good plays tonight.

TOP DEFENSEMEN PLAYS

Niklas Kronwall ($4,900) – Kronwall plays heavy minutes and is the Red Wings’ powerplay quarterback. The Islanders are weak on the road and very weak on the penalty kill. There is a good chance for a few Wings goals and at least one on the PP.

TOP LEFT WINGER PLAYS

Jonathan Drouin ($4,100) – Drouin was recently moved up to the Lightning’s top line playing with Steven Stamkos, which gives him ample opportunity to reach the scoresheet. The past two games, this has been the case with a powerplay goal, and then an assist. At his price, Drouin makes a great VALUE play tonight.
