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 @ TB (94% rostered) – FanDuel $5,600
As good as Heiskanen is, he is known more for being a complete player rather than an offensive specialist. He has fallen behind Thomas Harley in the blueline production pecking order. That being said, Heiskanen is still manning the point on the first unit power play. The 26-year-old defenseman is to three assists, five points, 26 shots on target and 14 blocked shots through 10 games this season.
Colton Parayko, STL vs. VAN (77% rostered) – FanDuel $5,500
Parayko won't post elite offensive numbers but he will contribute across the board and plays in all situations. He sees 23 minutes of ice time nightly, nearly all of which coming at even-strength and shorthanded. Parayko does have five assists to go along with 11 hits and 18 blocked shots in 10 contests. Use him in leagues that play more than just the base offensive categories.
Brock Faber, MIN vs. PIT (40% rostered) – FanDuel $5,000
Faber came into Sunday's game with no points in nine contests. He ended Tuesday night's effort with five points in two outings. Faber fell from 47 points as a rookie in 2023-24 to 29 last season and entered 2025-26 with Zeev Buium expected to take over the team's primary offensive weapon from the blueline. That has been the case, but Faber showed this week that he can still produce on that side of the ice.
Josh Morrissey, WPG vs. CHI (98% rostered) – FanDuel $5,600
Morrissey's production has declined each of the past season, though going from 76 to 69 and 62 points is no shame. He is off to a strong start to 2025-26, tallying eight assists and 22 blocked shots in 10 games. Morrissey will get low double-digits in goals, which has been the case in four straight seasons. His main area of production is as a playmaker, evidenced by how he has started this season.
Jake Walman, EDM vs. NYR (56% rostered) – FanDuel $5,900
Walman missed the first six games of the season with an undisclosed injury. Since returning, he is making up for lost time. Walman has notched a goal and four assists, skating 20 minutes a contest while blocking 13 shots. Edmonton locked Walman up with a seven-year, $49 million contract extension earlier this month. He has settled into a second-pair blueliner role both at even-strength and on the man-advatange.
Dougie Hamilton, NJ @ SJ (95% rostered) – FanDuel $6,200
D-Ham, rumored to possibly be on the block at times this offseason, notched just one goal and no assists his first seven games of the season. He has found his form lately, posting three goals and an assist his last three contests. Luke Hughes has taken over as New Jersey's prime weapon from the blueline but Hamilton has shown that he will ot go quietly into that good night.
