    Jack Roslovic has been on fire on a top-line role with the Blue Jackets.

    Alexis Lafrenière, LW/RW, NYR vs. CLB (43% rostered)

    One of the biggest changes to Lafrenière's game and fantasy value this season has been his shooting volume. He's put at least three shots on goal in every game since Jan. 26 except for one (Feb. 15 vs. Montreal), and historically he's been pretty good against the Jackets, too, with three goals in 10 career games. With L1 and some PP1 deployment, Lafrenière will be one of the most popular streamers for Wednesday. 

    Kirill Marchenko, RW, CLB at NYR (10% rostered)

    The all-Russian line has been good for the Jackets all season and Marchenko has the most offensive upside even though he's trailing in shots (12) relative to his linemates, Dimitri Voronkov (19) and Yegor Chinakhov (15) over the past two weeks. 

    The trio play together at both even strength and on the power play, and in fact seems to be Pascal Vincent's preferred unit. Marchenko scored two points against the Rangers in their previous game as part of their home-and-home series, and edges Voronkov and Chinakhov in team scoring by one and three points, respectively. 

    Jack Roslovic, C, CLB at NYR (2% rostered)

    About once a year, Roslovic finds himself in a top-six role and he manages to excel for a few games before everyone realizes that he just doesn't have the consistency or skill to stay in that role. He played 21:09 against the Rangers and scored two points on a line with Johnny Gaudreau and Boone Jenner, and he's a nice plug-and-play in that role. He's now up to seven points in his past six games, but note he gets very little power play time since the Jackets prefer to play Kent Johnson with Gaudreau and Jenner on the man advantage.

    Mattias Janmark, C, EDM vs. STL (0% rostered)

    Consider Janmark a deep sleeper. With just 10 points this season, he's not on the fantasy radar, but note four of those points have come in the past five games. The Blues' play has dipped a little and Janmark has been surprisingly productive playing on a line with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Evander Kane. I would not stream Janmark unless I really, really had to, but note his expected goals and PDO have all been trending up in the past five games.
