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.
Brennan Othmann, LW, NYR vs. MIN (0% rostered)
Othmann, who notched his second assist in four games Saturday, is skating on New York's top line with Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck. Coach Peter Laviolette is deploying New York's three kids as his first three left wingers, with Othmann on line one, Gabe Perreault, making his NHL debut, on line 2 and Will Cuylle on the third trio. Othmann is certainly worth a look skating as part of that trio.
Mackie Samoskevich, RW, FLA @ TOR (17% rostered)
Samoskevich notched a power play goal, his 14th tally of the season Tuesday. He posted four goals and five assists over 13 outings in March and begins April on a fine note. Samoskevich is skating on Florida's second line, opposite Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett. He has had a fine rookie campiagn for the defending Cup champs.
Jonathan Drouin, LW/RW, COL @ CHI (37% rostered)
Despite going scoreless the last two games of the month, Drouin had a solid March. He notched four goals and eight assists in 14 contests, giving the veteran winger 11 markers and 26 helpers in just 42 games played. Drouin is thriving on the top line next to his former QMJHL Halifax teammate Nathan MacKinnon and Artturi Lehkonen.

Schwartz closed out March on a bit of a roll, notching four goals and three assists over his last seven contests. After a down 2023-24 season, Schwartz has turned back the clock a bit, posting his best scoring total since the 2019-20 season. Schwartz is up to 23 goals and as many helpers in 75 games and could break the 50-point barrier for the first time since that 2019-20 campaign.
