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 and/or for daily fantasy games.
Emil Andrae, PHI vs. PIT (0% rostered) - FanDuel $2,600
Andrae, who some believe has the best offensive ability on the Philly blueline, has picked up his production lately. He has three points in his last three contests, giving the 23-year-old-defenseman eight points in 14 contests after posting just seven in 42 games as a rookie last season. Andrae has also started to see an uptick in ice time on the man-advantage, which should allow him to remain productive.
Olen Zellweger, ANA @ STL (21% rostered) - FanDuel $3,700
Anaheim is blessed with several young blueliners with substantive upside. Zellweger is one of those D-men who have yet to reach their potential. He has hit the scoresheet in four straight contests, notching a pair of goals and as many assists in that stretch. Through 25 contests, Zellweger, a second round pick, 34th overall in 2021, has five goals and five assists, putting him halfway to his point total in 62 contests last season.
