Plus a d-man playing in the Winter Classic worth a spot on your DFS lineup
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.
Noah Hanifin, LV @ STL (63% rostered) - FanDuel $xx
Hanifin closed out 2025 on a rush, notching eight assists his last last six games of the calendar year. Those eight helpers gave Hanifin 12 for the season, evidencing how slow his production had been prior to this streak. Hanifin, injured Opening Night, missed a month with the lower-body injury and took a while to find his form. Roll with him now that he is red hot.
Seth Jones, FLA vs. NYR (88% rostered) - FanDuel $xx
Jones, who is rumored to have made the US Olympic Team, closed out December on a roll. After starting the month with a pair of scoreless efforts, Jones posted three goals and eight assists the final 13 games of the month. That hot streak has upped Jones' season totals to six tallies and 18 helpers in 39 games, along with 38 hits, 47 blocked shots and 24:01 of ice time per contest. Jones mans the point on the Panthers' power play where he has notched 13 of his 24 points.
