Target offensive defensemen such as Bowen Byram and power-play quarterback Logan Stanley (yes, you heard right) to boost your fantasy roster.
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.
Bowen Byram, BUF at FLA (38% rostered) - FanDuel $4,600
Byram picked up an assist Wednesday in New Jersey, continuing where left off prior to the break when he scored three assists in five games. Byram’s hot streak is putting him on pace to set career highs, and now faces a Panthers team playing the second half of a back-to-back with backup Daniil Tarasov expected to start. The Sabres have plenty of firepower and should be one of the most feared offensive teams in the league, ranking ninth in goals for per game.
Logan Stanley, WPG at ANA (8% rostered) - FanDuel $4,100
With Josh Morrissey and Neal Pionk out for a little longer, Stanley will continue to quarterback PP1. It’s taken a while for Stanley to reach his potential, but he’s becoming more of an all-round defenseman with plenty of size. He skated 25:34 in a win against the Canucks and registered five shots and two hits. Expect similar usage against the Ducks, though they’re a much better opponent.
