On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues and/or for daily fantasy games.
Miro Heiskanen, DAL vs. SJ (98% rostered) - FanDuel $6,000
Heiskanen is putting last season's rough campaign far in his rear view mirror. His goal and assist Wednesday upped his season total to 24 points in 28 contests, almost matching the 25 he posted in 50 contests in 2024-25. Heiskanen has raised his game with Thomas Harley sidelined, helping the Stars manage without the talent blueliner. Ten of Heiskanen's 24 points have come on the man advantage, a number that should continue to rise while Harley remains out.
Jakob Chychrun, WSH @ ANA (99% rostered) - FanDuel $6,900
Like Heiskanen, Chychrun is off to a blazing hot start. Chychrun posted a career-best 20 goals and 27 assists in 74 games last season, finally having the campaign that has been predicted for him when he was selected 16th overall in 2016. His numbers so far this season are on early pace to far exceed his prior season production, Chychrun is up to 10 tallies and 14 helpers in 28 contests, making the eight-year, $72 million deal he signed with Washington this past March look even better.
