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.
Justin Faulk, STL vs. WPG (60% rostered) - FanDuel $5,700
An assist against the Preds gives Faulk four points in his past five games, his best stretch of play since early November. This is a tough matchup and Cam Fowler plays PP1 ahead of Faulk, but the upside is Faulk can consistent put pucks on net and block shots, raising his fantasy floor.
Sean Durzi, UTA at DET (8% rostered) - FanDuel $4,800
Durzi and Mikhail Sergachev played together as the Mammoth stack their top pairing, and it’ll be interesting to see if it sticks. Head coach Andre Tourigny felt there were more positives than negatives when they were paired together, and it might help spark a team out of its funk. Durzi has three points in his past four games and offers some modest offensive upside playing alongside Sergachev.
Logan Stanley, WPG at STL (8% rostered) - FanDuel $4,000
Not sure what’s gotten into Stanley, but he’s scored three goals in his past four games after scoring three in his previous 28 games. We ride the hot streak until it ends, and this is setting up to be a good matchup with the Blues still struggling to keep pucks out of their net. They’ve allowed at least five goals in three of their past four games.
