The NHL season is heating up, with a Friday slate packed with potential DFS picks. Key forward lines to consider include the Colorado Avalanche's top trio against the Anaheim Ducks, who have struggled defensively. The Detroit Red Wings' second line faces a weak Montreal Canadiens defense, while the Toronto Maple Leafs' top line looks to exploit the Buffalo Sabres' recent defensive woes.

On the blue line, Lane Hutson of the Montreal Canadiens and Aaron Ekblad of the Florida Panthers are poised for strong performances. In goal, Joseph Woll of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Jake Oettinger of the Dallas Stars are highlighted as top options for tonight's matchups.
