Welcome to the daily fantasy hockey picks article for DraftKings, FanDuel, and DraftPot for Friday, December 11th, 2015. We have another seven game slate tonight with the following teams playing on back to back nights:

• Philadelphia Flyers (Road) *3rd game in 4 nights*
• Chicago Blackhawks (Home) *3rd game in 4 nights*
• Winnipeg Jets (Road)
• Detroit Red Wings (Road) *3rd game in 4 nights*

Had a fantastic night with the goalies last night going 3/3 and just missed out on two shutouts. Let's have a look at some of the biggest favorites in net tonight and see if we can re create that success.

GOALIES

Henrik Lundqvist - New York Rangers @ EDM *CONFIRMED*
DraftKings - $8,100 FanDuel - $10,100 DraftPot - 5.98 DPPG

He is the #1 goaltender in the league and a big reason why the Rangers sit just two points behind the Eastern Conference leading Habs. Lundy leads the league in with a .939 save % and has a record of 14-6-3 so far in 2015. The Rangers travel to Edmonton on Friday as favorites facing the Oilers. Look for a strong bounce back performance from King Henrik tonight.

Kari Lehtonen - Dallas Stars vs. PHI *PROBABLE*
DraftKings - $7,100 FanDuel - $8,100 DraftPot - 5.26 DPPG

He is coming off a game in which he got pulled after giving up five goals to the Hurricanes but the Stars ended up taking the lead late and picking up the win. It wasn't a typical start or Lehtonen who was given a 5-1 lead only to see it fade away. He has been a solid option on a winning team this year with a 10-1 record and .911 save percentage. If he doesn't get the nod tonight, Antti Niemi makes a great choice in the same price range.

Also Consider - John Gibson - Anaheim Ducks vs. CAR

 

CENTER

Sidney Crosby - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. LA
DraftKings - $7,400 FanDuel - $8,700 DraftPot - 3.73 DPPG

While I do like Tyler Seguin tonight, I do believe he will be highly owned. Although Sidney Crosby is considered the best the player in the game he hasn't been his elite self this season with only 19 points in 27 games. He has picked it up lately though with 10 points in his last 10 games and four in his last three. It will be a tougher matchup on Friday vs. the Kings but in 10 career games, Crosby has picked up 15 points vs. the Kings. Should be low owned in GPP's and has tournament winning upside.

Mikael Granlund - Minnesota Wild @ ARI
DraftKings - $4,500 FanDuel - $5,600 DraftPot - 3.75 DPPG

A tremendous value on Friday for a player who has picked up 10 points in his last 10 games and has been red hot for the Wild. He has been averaging 10 CF/60 for the season which has produced close to 3 shots on net per game. He has been centering the Wild's top lie with Zach Parise and Jason Pominville on the leagues #10 ranked offense.

Also Consider - Oscar Lindberg - New York Rangers @ EDM

 

WINGERS

Patrick Kane - Chicago Blackhawks vs. WPG
DraftKings - $8,700 FanDuel(RW) - $8,300 DraftPot - 6.28 DPPG

Not alot has to be said about Kane. Just when it looked like his streak would come to end last night, he got an empty net goal from his own blue line. The streak continues and is now at 24 games. He is a must play on both FanDuel and DraftKings as long as his price remains under $9,000.

Zach Parise - Minnesota Wild @ ARI
DraftKings - $5,500 FanDuel(LW) - $6,600 DraftPot - 4.00 DPPG

After going two games without a point after returning from injury, he seems to be shaking off the rust and starting to produce the point a game we are used to with Parise. He has points in three of his last four games and makes a great lower priced stack with Granlund and Pominville Friday night.

Kyle Palmieri - New Jersey Devils
DraftKings - $4,600 FanDuel(RW) - $4,100 DraftPot(LW) - 3.40 DPPG

Great low end value option for any format Friday night. Palmieri has scored a goal in three straight games and is red hot coming into tonight vs. the Red Wings. He provides a nice floor with shots and has 21 points on the season. Tremendous production for a player under $5,000 on FanDuel and DratKings.

Also Consider - Valeri Nichushkin - Dallas Stars vs. PHI

DEFENSE

John Klingberg - Dallas Stars vs. PHI
DraftKings - $6,000 FanDuel - $6,500 DraftPot - 3.83 DPPG

If you are paying up for a D man tonight, he makes a great option on the leagues #1 offense. He picked up three assists on Tuesday in a win vs. the Hurricanes after a three game pointless streak. klingberg is 2nd among defenseman in points this year with 30 on the season. The Stars are at home on Friday vs. the Flyers who are playing on back to back nights on the road. Look for the Stars to take advantage of some tired legs for Philadelphia.

Ollo Maatta - Pittsburgh Penguins vs. LA
DraftKings - $3,200 FanDuel - $4,400 DraftPot - 1.68 DPPG

Makes a great low end punt option at Defense tonight who provides offensive upside. He has picked up four points on his current three game streak and finally starting to show some of the offensive skills in his arsenal. Tough matchup tonight vs. teh Kings but you don't need much to hit value at this price.

Also Consider - Keith Yandle - New York Rangers @ EDM
