There are no shortage of streaming options despite the two-game slate, starting with the Blues' Brayden Schenn and Jake Neighbours, and the Canadiens' Juraj Slafkovsky and Alex Newhook.

Brayden Schenn, C/LW, STL at MTL (45% rostered)
Jake Neighbours, LW/RW, STL at MTL (5% rostered)

Schenn continues to be a great multi-category option. He notched an assist, his seventh point in seven games, and added six faceoff wins, a minor penalty, a shot and a hit. Schenn's been historically very good against the Habs, scoring 26 points in 28 games in his career. 

Linemate Neighbours is coming off a two-goal game, with Neighbours adding a little more value playing PP1 with Schenn on PP2. Both Neighbours and Schenn played limited minutes -- 11:38 for Neighbours and 14:22 for Schenn -- and I imagine they'll get more minutes against the Habs. 

Dylan Strome, C, WSH vs. VAN (28% rostered)

The matchup is tough because the Caps will likely face Thatcher Demko, but I will continue to recommend streaming Strome every time. With both L1 and PP1 roles and Alex Ovechkin on his wing, and having scored six points in his past five games, Strome continues to be an overlooked option in fantasy. Few No. 1 centers are available for streaming on a nightly basis such as Strome. 

Juraj Slafkovsky, LW, MTL vs. STL (13% rostered)
Alex Newhook, C, MTL vs. STL (2% rostered)

Slafkovsky's on a three-game goals streak with four goals and definitely worth streaming while he's red-hot and playing L1 with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. He's totally boom-or-bust but he's also flashing a ton of banger league potential with shots and hits. 

Newhook was slotted back on PP1 (with Slafkovsky, Suzuki and Caufield) upon his return and while he finished with zero points, he also played 18 minutes. He was scoring at a 46-point pace prior to his injury, and I think he has some sneaky value in deeper, 14-team leagues. 

Pius Suter, C, VAN at WSH (5% rostered)
Nils Hoglander, LW, VAN at WSH (2% rostered)

The one thing that connects Suter and Hoglander and makes them worth streaming: they both play on a line with Elias Pettersson. Hoglander scored a goal and Suter added an assist Saturday against the Wings as the Canucks mixed up the lines following a shutout loss to the Bruins. 

Suter has a bit more upside playing PP2, but Hoglander's potential is arguably higher. He can fill more categories with hits and PIM, and there are times where he's shown flashes of legitimate top-six talent.
