Welcome to the Daily Fantasy Hockey (NHL DFS) lineup picks article for March 8th of the 2015/2016 NHL season. Each day we'll be providing you with a handful of forward, defensemen, and goaltender picks for DraftKings and FanDuel GPP and cash games.

Busy Tuesday with eight games in the NHL with some prime matchups for fantasy points. The Sharks 3rd ranked offense goes up against Oilers 25th ranked defense and the Stars 2nd ranked offense gets a tasty matchup vs. the struggling Canadiens and their 20th ranked defense.

There are four teams(BUF, BOS, TB, SJ) playing on back to back nights and five teams(BUF, BOS, OTT, PIT, WPG) playing a third game in four nights. As of now there are only three goalies (Howard-DET, Bishop-TB, Ward-CAR) confirmed starting tomorrow so be sure to check LeftWingLock prior to lineup lock.

NHL DFS Picks for Tuesday, March 8th

A couple strategy notes. For cash game construction look for players who can contribute to your score when they are not providing offense. Examples are guys who take a ton of shots, defensemen who block a lot of shots(DraftKings). Also, look for guys who get powerplay time and especially Top 6 forwards. You can find value in players who join a new line due to an injury or just get a promotion and more ice time.

For large field tournaments (GPP's) you want to find payers who have multi point upside and can grab double digit fantasy points. To stack the most upside in your forwards a common strategy is to punt the defense position. This doesn't mean just grab anyone. Try and look for a D man who will be playing more PP time or might get a boost in overall playing time due to an injury.

Let's take a look at some solid plays for today's action.

Ben Bishop - Goaltender, Lightning (Draftkings - $7,800  FanDuel - $9,300)

After a night off last night in Philadelphia, Bishop will be back between the pipes again on Tuesday to face the Bruins. Both teams are playing on back to back nights but Bosto is also playing a third game in four nights and on the road. He has won six straight games for the Bolts and helped them reach the top of the Atlantic Division.

Sidney Crosby - Center, Penguins (DraftKings - $7,800  FanDuel - $9,800)

He is back playing at an MVP level for the Penguins and is tied with Connor McDavid for most points since the All Star Break(24). Although it appears to be a tough road matchup Crosby has torched the Islanders with 91 points in 51 career games and he scored twice in their last meeting.

Jeff Skinner - Winger, Hurricanes (DraftKings - $5,300  FanDuel - $6,100)

The offense he provides comes in bunches and is inconsistent. This is a perfect recipe for GPP success. His price stays affordable while providing the same upside as some of the top options. In his last 10 games Skinner has tallied three multi point games.

Valeri Nichushkin - Winger, Stars (DraftKings - $4,200  FanDuel - $3,800)

Great low end value play that allows a ton of room to pay up for some elite talent tonight. He is playing on the second line with Jason Spezza and also getting some PP time on the second unit. He has tallied six points in his last 10 games with 23 shots and a +1 rating.

Kris Russell - Defense, Stars (DraftKings - $4,500  FanDuel - $4,100)

Both of the Stars D men(Goligoaski & Russell) had a productive game vs. the Senators without Klingberg in the lineup. It was Russell who got the PP time and picked up an assist. No word yet if Klingberg will return on Tuesday but both D men for the Stars will provide value at their current salaries.
