With the Tampa Bay Lightning facing a struggling Montreal Canadiens team, Steven Stamkos could be in for a big night in NHL DFS. Which other players should you target on Thursday's slate?

A good chunk of you probably already play daily fantasy football, and I'd be willing to bet a significant portion have also tried out daily fantasy basketball and baseball. But hockey? Hockey?

It's time to give it a try over on FanDuel.com because it's a ton of fun. And our analysis and projections can help you win.

To help, let's take a look at some goalies, high-priced skaters, and lower-priced players to target for today's slate.

Goalies to Target

Andrei Vasilevskiy ($9,600): Perhaps the leading candidate for this year's Vezina Trophy, Vasilevskiy currently ranks third in both save percentage (.937) and goals against average (1.95). He's currently as hot as ever, coming off of two straight shutouts and riding a five-game win streak. He is expensive, but with a soft matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, who rank 29th in goals per game (2.50), he is well worth paying up for.
