Unlock power-play potential with Dmitry Orlov on the Sharks and Sam Rinzel on the Blackhawks. Secure these waiver gems now!
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.
Dmitry Orlov, SJ vs. STL (16% rostered) - FanDuel $4,200
Orlov is your flavor-of-the-week PP QB for the Sharks, and this seems like an opportune time with the Sharks scoring 14 goals in three games facing the fourth-worst PK in the league. Orlov’s assist against the Habs on Tuesday snapped a 12-game drought, and he led all Sharks defensemen in PP TOI with 3:46 compared to John Klingberg’s 1:30.
Sam Rinzel, CHI vs. VAN (9% rostered) - FanDuel $4,500
Rinzel returned to the lineup after battling an illness and notched an assist against the Jets, his third point in five games following a stint in the AHL. The Hawks defense can be hard to figure out because they’re so inconsistent but, for now, Rinzel is their PP QB and face the worst team in the league on home ice. Everything about this matchup tilts in the Hawks’ favor, which doesn’t happen very often.
