    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.

    Matvei Michkov, RW, PHI vs. CGY (48% rostered)

    This is a good chance for Michkov to start scoring again. He was shut out against the league-leading Jets, but with a two-day break and back on home ice, the Flyers can dictate the matchups. Michkov has 10 points in his past eight games and faces the Flames for the first time in his career.

    JJ Peterka, LW/RW, BUF vs. SJ (43% rostered)

    Peterka's two-assist performance against the Habs stretched his points streak to five games, and now faces a poor defensive team with even poor goaltending. True, the Sharks just managed to snap their losing streak, but they really had to grind for that win in a shootout and they're playing the second game of a back-to-back with travel.

    Boone Jenner, C/LW, CBJ at TB (31% rostered)

    I'll lay off the horn on the Blue Jackets a little - just this time - and single out Jenner for his four-game points streak. He's yet to score a goal but that should come soon. Since returning from injury, Jenner has seven assists, nine shots, seven hits, six blocks, 17 faceoff wins and a plus-7 rating. 

    Adam Fantilli, C, CBJ at TB (30% rostered)

    Okay, just only one more Jacket this time. Fantilli's been fantastic as their No. 1 center and embraced the challenge following Sean Monahan's injury. He's on a five-game points streak with three goals and three assists. The Lightning are expected to start backup Jonas Johansson, who's one of the weakest goalies in the league.

    William Eklund, LW, SJ at BUF (18% rostered)

    After a quiet December, Eklund's really picked up his game and he's on pace to finish the season on a really strong note. He's scored 16 points in 20 games since Jan. 1, and carries a two-game points streak into Buffalo. The Sharks have juggled their lines in an effort to find more offense, but Eklund has been a constant in their top six. 

    Pavel Zacha, C/LW, BOS vs. NSH (17% rostered)

    Any time you can find a matchup against the Preds, you have to take advantage of it. David Pastrnak's put together an MVP-caliber campaign after a slow start, and Zacha's reaping the benefits. He's centering Pastrnak at even strength and also plays with him on PP1. Zacha has four points in his past four games and the Preds have allowed at least four goals in four of their past five games, all of which were losses. 

    Shane Wright, C/RW, SEA vs. MIN (12% rostered)

    Wright doesn't get top-six minutes but he's been producing like a top-six forward with 20 points in his past 23 games. The Kraken lineup doesn't boast any superstars but there are plenty of decent options, and at least Wright plays PP2 and gets one of their best shooters in Jared McCann on his wing at even strength. The Wild have struggled recently dealing with injuries to key players and even though they boast a strong road record, note they're 1-4-0 with 23 goals allowed in their past five road games.
