Lane Hutson's seven-game assists streak is on the line as the Habs conclude their five-game homestand against the Pens.

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 can be used in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.

Lane Hutson, MON vs. PIT (41% rostered)

Hutson has a chance to extend his assists streak to eight games and his prospects are pretty good against a very mid Pens PK that ranks 13th. Hutson and Patrik Laine have been a very good combo on the power play, and even if Hutson doesn't score a point, he's usually good for a shot or two and a couple blocks. 

Justin Faulk, STL vs. SJ (20% rostered)

I like this matchup for Faulk, who offers less peripherals than Colton Parayko but plays a bigger role on the power play. He collected a power-play assist Tuesday against the Canucks and averaging 25 minutes per game in two games since returning from injury.

Alex Vlasic, CHI at NYI (10% rostered)

Vlasic has been quite productive in Seth Jones' absence. Over the past two weeks, Vlasic's 19 shots ranks 10th among defensemen, and he's scored four points in his past six games. With an increase in shots as he becomes more assertive on offense, along with a steady stream of blocks, Vlasic's been an underappreciated asset in multi-category leagues. 

Matt Roy, WSH at CLB (9% rostered)

Like Vlasic, Roy's been really underappreciated in multi-category leagues. He provides shots, hit and blocks, and while he's not dominant in any category, it's rare for him to not pitch in at all. He's also scored two assists in his past two games, giving him seven points in 17 games - close to a 35-point pace over an entire season. Not bad for someone who doesn't see the ice on the power play. 

Arber Xhekaj, MON vs. PIT (7% rostered)

Xhekaj's always a great source of blocks and hits, but what I like more is his increased ice time. He's skated over 18 minutes in four straight games paired with David Savard, and given how awful the Pens defense has been, Xhekaj might get lucky and even pick up an assist.
