Daily Fantasy Hockey 2015: Best NHL DFS DraftKings Lineup for May 10

The NHL playoffs have featured some amazing action this year, including a number of timely goals and overtime finishes. Sunday will feature two elimination games, involving the New York Rangers, Washington Capitals, Calgary Flames and Anaheim Ducks.

The New York Rangers will try to force a Game 7 at home by winning on the road, and the Ducks will look to finish the Flames at home. There is bound to be a ton of energy expended by all four teams as they realize what is up for grabs.

There are a number of players you will want to have in your lineup ahead of Sunday's action, but it could be hard to get everyone you want for under $50,000. With that in mind, here is your best NHL DFS lineup with DraftKings for May 10.

POS	PLAYER	OPP	FPPG	SALARY
C	Ryan Kesler	vs. CGY	3.1	$7,000
C	Derek Stepan	@ WSH	3.3	$5,900
W	Jakob Silfverberg	vs. CGY	2.7	$5,500
W	Patrick Maroon	vs. CGY	2.1	$4,100
W	Matt Beleskey	vs. CGY	2.6	$4,500
D	Kris Russell	vs. CGY	3.4	$5,500
D	Hampus Lindholm	vs. CGY	2.2	$4,100
G	Henrik Lundqvist	@WSH	5.3	$9,300
UTIL	Andre Burakovsky	vs. NYR	1.7	$3,500

Center: Ryan Kesler, $7,000 and Derek Stepan, $5,900

Ryan Kesler has played very well against the Flames, and the Ducks pivot has three assists in his last three games. He has done a solid job distributing the puck and has proved to be a valuable asset for Anaheim. Kesler has a total of eight points in his last 10 games, and he enters action on Sunday with a 3.0 fantasy points-per-game average.

Derek Stepan has had a decent playoff run for the Rangers, and he came up huge in a must-win Game 5. The Blueshirts pivot had a primary assist on both goals, and he is a main reason why the Rangers are still alive.

You can't go wrong picking him up for only $5,900, as he has proved to be a solid offensive contributor, which is reflected with six points in his last 10 games.

Wingers: Jakob Silfverberg, $5,500, Matt Beleskey, $4,500 and Patrick Maroon $4,100

You can't go wrong by picking a Ducks winger, and it makes sense to load up your lineup with them. Jakob Silverberg has been money for Anaheim, and the second-year winger has four goals and six assists in his last 10 games.

His 4.1 fantasy points-per-game average is solid, and his price tag of $5,500 makes him an absolute steal.

Matt Beleskey has been just as good, and he has scored a goal in every game against the Flames thus far. He has a fantasy points-per-game average of 4.5 against Calgary, and it is hard to not stick with the hot hand for the bargain price of $4,500.

Last but not least is Patrick Maroon, who has three goals in four games against the Flames. He has a total of six points in his last 10 games and is coming off a game in which he earned six fantasy points.

Maroon has been a beneficiary of Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry, and there is no reason to think he will stop being a contributor any time soon. Game 5 will be held at the Honda Center, and he will get premium matchups against some of the Flames' weaker players.

Defenders: Kris Russell, $5,500 and Hampus Lindholm, $4,100

Kris Russell has been one of the Flames' better players during the playoffs, and he's produced in the fantasy department. He has six points in his last 10 games, and he's carried a fantasy points-per-game average of 4.3 during that span. He has a fair price tag of $5,500, and his production makes him a worthy player in whom to invest.

Hampus Lindholm has a bright future ahead of him, and he's a quality low-range defender to invest some cap space in. The Ducks rear guard has six points in his last 10 games and has played around 21 minutes a game. He has a goal and two assists against the Flames thus far and is ready to get back in the scoring department at home.

Goalie: Henrik Lundqvist, $9,300

Henrik Lundqvist has been a horse for the Rangers against the Capitals, and his numbers have been ludicrous.

Lundqvist's performance in Game 5 was one of his better ones to date, and he made some big saves when the game was on the line. It has been virtually impossible to beat Lundqvist in an elimination game, and for all intents and purposes, Game 6 could be Game 7 for the Capitals.
