A seven game NHL schedule hits the ice tonight with four road favorites, and Dallas as a massive favorite at home to Buffalo. There is no doubt that the Stars will be the highest team owned in daily fantasy, and there are several other teams with good matchups and in a great position to score big. It is a great night to play DFS hockey tournaments, with the challenge to build winning lineups with the right combination of players from two or three high scoring teams. .

With so many choices tonight, it is a bit of a challenge to decide which teams and players to use, but we’ll break things down in this article today with the top teams to target and recommended players to use to build winning FanDuel lineups, Included also are a few sample FanDuel lineups.

Top Team to Target Tonight for Daily Fantasy Hockey

Dallas Stars – The Stars are second best in the league for goal scoring, while the Sabres are second last for goals against. Dallas is a massive favorite in this game at home, and many Stars players are good options for daily fantasy lineups at various salary levels. Either of their first two lines could be stacked in a tournament lineup, and the Stars also mix things up with players from all their lines for their power play units. The Sabres are dead last in penalty killing at only 74.2% on the season and even worse in the month of March at 65.2%.

Recommended Players for FanDuel

TOP GOALTENDER PLAYS

Kari Lehtonen ($8,900) – Lehtonen has really picked up his game lately with a 1.85 GAA and .930 SvPct in eight games in March. Even though the Stars are very unlikely to make the playoffs (8 points back with 10 games left), they’re still making a run at it with seven wins in their past 10, including wins over Pittsburgh and Chicago in their past two, allowing only one goal. Lehtonen has a near guaranteed win against Buffalo tonight, and should give up two goals or less also.

TOP LEFT WINGER PLAYS

Zach Parise ($7,700) – Parise has 10 points in his past nine games, and combine that with his high shot total, he’s a great fantasy player nearly every night. With his consistency, Parise is a great choice regularly for cash game lineups, and he has the big game upside you look for as a tournament player also. The Leafs have given up a lot of goals since the All-Star break (ranked 2nd last), and Parise and the Wild should be the next team to blow them out.

TOP CENTER PLAYS

Tyler Seguin ($8,400) – Seguin may be the top overall play of the night leading the Stars’ offense against Buffalo. On the season, Seguin is averaging over a point per game and is second in the league in shots per game at 3.9. The Stars’ top line is going to be the number one stack used and Seguin’s ownership rate will be very high as well. That doesn’t mean you should fade him though, and he should be the first player added into your cash game lineup.

Adam Lowry ($3,400) – With a recent switch-up of the Jets’ lines, Lowry was bumped up to the first line (with Andrew Ladd and Michael Frolik) and he’s taken advantage of that opportunity with goals in two of his three games in that role. As long as he stays in that spot, Lowry is an option for daily fantasy, either as part of a line stack or a cheap single fill-in player to complete a tournament lineup.
