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 are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.
Mason Lohrei, BOS at CAR (22% rostered)
Given the injuries to key players, the Bruins offense looks far less appealing from a fantasy standpoint. They can barely score more than three goals and they’ve lost seven of their past eight with their lone win coming against the Pens. That caps Lohrei’s fantasy value but he’s still worth considering due to increased shot volume. With two shots against the Preds, he’s up to 22 in his past six games.
Darren Raddysh, TB vs. BUF (5% rostered)
Raddysh’s two assists against the Jackets gives him three points in his past two games. While Victor Hedman is still their top option, Raddysh has filled in on occasion. Raddysh’s production can be hard to predict it depends a lot on his usage and deployment, but past Sabres-Lightning matchups have featured some high-scoring affairs.
Lian Bichsel, DAL vs. CGY (5% rostered)
Bichsel returned to the lineup and registered six hits in just 13:47 TOI against the Devils following a three-game absence. He’s one of the league’s best high-volume hitters and the only defenseman to average over four hits per game. On home ice, the Stars will get last change and dictate the matchups, which should limit any downside value because it’s highly unlikely Bichsel will see any action against the opposition’s top lines.
