We have a MASSIVE 10 game slate, and there are good options on the board. Stacking will be big tonight, so look for some value where you can, and then load up on the star skaters where you can afford them.
Vegas lines are big when it comes to picking games to target, and that's a good place to start for goalies. When it comes to skaters, goal totals is another main place to start. Usually 5.5 goals is average, so targets games at six, and can look for goalies in games with a total at five.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy hockey lineup picks for DraftKings and FanDuel on 3/24/18. The lineup picks will range from some of the elite players to mid-priced options and value plays. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to hit me up on Twitter @DFS_Tom. Let's get to it, shall we?

DFS Forwards to Consider
John Tavares - C, NYI vs CHI (DK - $7,100, FD - $8,200)
The season might be over for Tavares and the Islanders, but he is still out there producing. He has 10 points in his last six games, and is hopefully showing this uptick in production due to his impending free agency decision. Still up on the top forward line and the first power-play, should give him plenty of upside against this weak Chicago team, who is giving up over three goals per game. He takes over three shots per game, and can be used in either cash or GPPs tonight.
Dustin Brown - W, LA @ EDM (DK - $5,500, FD - $5,900)
Brown offers a bit of savings on this larger slate, and has a great matchup in front of him. He is up against the Oilers, who are a great team to pick on, and have been all season. Brown is up on the top forward line and the first power-play, giving you some nice ice time to come along with his nearly three shots per game. He has six points in his last five games, and can also block a shot every now or then, so well rounded fantasy value from him.
DFS Defenders to Consider
Thomas Chabot - D, OTT vs CAR (DK - $3,800, FD - $3,600)
Chabot is super cheap across the industry, and is seeing a bump in production with Erik Karlsson being out. Chabot is now on the top defensive pairing and the top power-play unit, which should put him in a good spot top rack up points, since he is up against the Hurricanes, who are giving up over three goals per game. He blocks one shot per game, takes one shot per game, and has two assists in his last four. One of the better value plays on the board tonight.
Jake Gardiner - D, TOR vs DET (DK - $4,100, FD - $4,800)
Really like the consistency Gardiner is showing over this last stretch of games, as he has four points in his last five outings. He is seeing time on the second defensive pairing and the second power-play unit, the latter should prove to be a solid stack tonight since they are up against a weak Detroit team. He is taking over one shot per game, and blocking over one shot per game, meaning he can add value in multiple categories.
DFS Goalies to Consider
Roberto Luongo - G, FLA vs ARI (DK - $8,500, FD - $8,500)
The Panthers are at home and -200 favorites against a Coyotes team, who we've been able to pick on all season. Luongo is one of the most expensive goalies on the slate, but you are paying up for the win. The Panthers are just one point back from the last wild card spot, so they are in need of the points, and at home against Arizona, they should be able to do it. He has three wins in his last six, but only one win in his last three, so a nice spot for him to get back on track, and pick up the much needed W.
