Alexander Romanov and Tony DeAngelo are playing significant roles with Noah Dobson and Ryan Pulock out with injuries.

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.

Jacob Trouba, ANA at CGY (40% rostered)
Jackson LaCombe, ANA at CGY (27% rostered)

For hits and blocks, Trouba remains a top-tier option. Don't expect any points from the physical, stay-at-home defenseman. He has yet to score a goal this season and has just 11 assists in 49 games, but amassed 106 hits and 140 blocks. The Flames are an aggressive, physical team, which is the type of game Trouba excels.

If you want offense, go for LaCombe. He scored a goal and an assist against the Kraken on Tuesday with a plus-4 rating in a 6-4 win. After a five-game drought, he's finding the scoresheet yet again as the Ducks' preferred offensive weapon from the blue line. 

Brayden McNabb, VGK vs. CBJ (25% rostered)

McNabb's little two-game hot streak was snapped but - like Trouba, only with more offense - he's a great source of hits and blocks. The Jackets are very good at generating offense and McNabb will get a lot of chances to block shots. He's up to 91 hits and 113 blocks this season. 

Alexander Romanov, NYI at PHI (20% rostered)
Tony DeAngelo, NYI at PHI (13% rostered)

With Ryan Pulock and Noah Dobson out, it's opened up a ton of minutes for the remaining Isles defenders. Romanov is usually more about the peripherals (blocks, hits) but he's playing a ton more minutes now - more than 25 minutes per game in each of his past two games - and he's added some scoring with four points in three games. Romanov offers more broad coverage in multiple categories. 

If you're looking for points, especially on the power play, DeAngelo has looked pretty good so far. He'll face his former coach in John Tortorella, and there's plenty of motivation there. The sample size is small, but it's a nice bonus DeAngelo is throwing out some hits and blocks.
