    The Stars' Esa Lindell is providing some rare offense on a banged-up blue line.

    The Stars' Esa Lindell is providing some rare offense on a banged-up blue line.

    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.

    Alexander Romanov, NYI vs. VGK (35% rostered)
    Tony DeAngelo, NYI vs. VGK (26% rostered)

    You're going to hear these two names a lot over the next little while in fantasy. Romanov continues to be an all-round contributor for the Islanders, filling in multiple categories. His 23:27 TOI against the Panthers is actually quite low compared to his recent usage, and though he didn't register a point, he finished with four shots and four blocks. 

    If you're looking for points, DeAngelo is the better bet. He's scored three points in five games and quarterbacks their top power play unit while Scott Perunovich and Adam Boqvist share duties on the second unit. One of the bonuses with DeAngelo's fantasy value this season that's different from past seasons is the increase in blocked shots; he's averaging nearly three per game, the highest of his career.

    Jackson LaCombe, ANA vs. DAL (34% rostered)

    I don't think it's a coincidence that the Ducks are 4-1-0 in their past five and LaCombe has scored four points during that span. As with any young team, the Ducks' play has been up-and-down, but LaCombe is worth streaming again while he's scoring points. He continues to quarterback PP1 and provide a steady stream of shots.

    Esa Lindell, DAL at ANA (17% rostered)

    Normally not known for his offense, Lindell has picked up three points in his past four games. With Miro Heiskanen out of the lineup, Lindell has moved up the depth chart and now quarterbacks PP2 with Thomas Harley on PP1. The opportunity to pick up some points is a nice bonus for a defenseman that usually only provides blocked shots. 

    Matt Grzelcyk, PIT vs. NJ (5% rostered)

    Grzelcyk has two assists in his past three games and remains their quarterback on the power play with their top unit. Grzelcyk has also played 21 minutes in four of his past five games, and as the playoff races get tighter, Grzelcyk's minutes might go up with Marcus Pettersson now in Vancouver. The Devils have allowed at least three goals in three of their past five games.
