Ride Esa Lindell's assist surge, grab Scott Morrow's PP1 promotion, and consider John Klingberg's offensive upside despite recent struggles.
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.
Esa Lindell, DAL at DET (41% rostered) - FanDuel $4,800
Lindell has rightfully gained a lot of attention in fantasy lately with five assists in his past three games. Along with his usual supplement of blocks, Lindell’s hot streak makes him a lot more attractive than usual.
John Klingberg, SJ at VGK (34% rostered) - FanDuel $5,400
Given how streaky and unreliable Klingberg can be, the two-game points drought does make me a little nervous. However, he remains the Sharks’ top option on offense and on the power play, and the Knights are a little more vulnerable than usual lately with three straight losses and missing a few key players. The Sharks have a chance to take advantage of a team that has not been very good at home this season and allowed 10 goals in their past two games.
Scott Morrow, NYR at WSH (0% rostered) - FanDuel n/a
Really tough matchup for the Rangers, especially without captain J.T. Miller, but Morrow has ascended to PP1 and skated 3:14 on the power play against the Preds to lead all Rangers defensemen. They’re still not an effective unit, but the promotion does give Morrow a small boost.
