On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy hockey managers to stream, roster or utilize in standard leagues and/or DFS games. Players and goalies highlighted for streaming in standard leagues are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues.
Rasmus Dahlin, BUF vs. TB (99% rostered) - DraftKings $6,600
Dahlin, for the first time in his career and as captain of the Sabres, will taste the postseason. His 2025-26 campaign is almost a mirror image of last season, and with five games remaining, he has a shot to set a new career-high in points. Overall, Dahlin is up to 18 goals, 51 assists, 188 shots on net, 65 hits and 77 blocked shots this season. The 25-year-old blueliner is just four points behind his career high set during the 2022-23 season and has posted at least 53 points each of the past five campaigns.
Dmitry Orlov, SJ vs. CHI (17% rostered) - DraftKings $3,800
San Jose may need to win out and get some help to make the postseason. Two points behind the Predators with a game in hand, tiebreakers may decide the berth. Orlov has been doing his part lately, notching an assist in five straight games. This hot stretch has moved Orlov two points behind the career-high 36 he posted in 2022-23 as a member of the Capitals and Bruins. Nearly half of his 34 points - 16 - have come on the power play.
