A light night in the NHL makes Zacha the target of choice
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
Pavel Zacha, C/LW, BOS @ NYR (19% rostered)
Zacha has been on a roll of late, producing three goals and 11 points over the last nine games, including four points (two goals, two assists) with the man advantage. On the year, Zacha is up to 12 markers and 20 helpers in 54 contests. Matching the 57 and 59 points he tallied the last two seasons may be a bit of a stretch, but Zacha has a chance if he remains hot.
Jeff Skinner, LW, EDM @ CHI (19% rostered)
Skinner was shut out Tuesday, the seventh time in the nine games he has played he failed to dent the scoresheet. The two times he scored came in back-to-back contests while he was a healthy scratch five times in that stretch. If more teams were in action, Skinner would not be a consideration, but with only three games, he might be worth a shot as a flier.
Phillip Danault, C, LA vs. MTL (6% rostered)
Danault, after scoring in six straight games at the end if December and beginning of January, has hit a bit of a rough patch. Prior to tallying a goal and an assist Saturday, Danault matched that production in his prior 11 contests. After posting 17 goals and 30 helpers in 78 games last season, Danault has been limited to just five tallies and 20 apples in 49 contests this season. He is still centering LA's second line, making him a deep option.
