On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy hockey managers to stream, roster or utilize in standard leagues and/or DFS games. Players and goalies highlighted for streaming in standard leagues are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Darren Raddysh, TB at NJ (56% rostered) - FanDuel $5,600
Raddysh may still be available in your league and with Victor Hedman leaving their last game due to an injury, Raddysh will return to the top of the pecking order at both even strength and on the power play. Even when Hedman returned, Raddysh stayed on PP1, which showed the confidence the Lightning have in him to produce. He’s coming off a two-goal performance and should skate plenty of minutes against the Devils.
Kris Letang, PIT vs. MTL (35% rostered) - FanDuel $4,700
Letang’s production has picked up with a goal and four assists in his past six games, including two scored on the power play. Erik Karlsson still takes the minutes on PP1, but note Letang has historically played very well against the team from his home province with 39 points in 47 career games.
Matt Roy, WSH vs. CAR (21% rostered) - FanDuel $4,700
Intriguing matchup between two top-tier Eastern teams with Roy bringing the hot hand with five points in his past five games. The offense is a nice bonus, but you’re hoping Roy can provide a decent floor with his penchant for blocking shots. There should be plenty of opportunity against a team that tends to dominate puck possession.
