Boost your fantasy team with defensemen capitalizing on new power play roles. Get Ivan Provorov and K'Andre Miller before their opportune matchups.
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.
Owen Power, BUF vs. NSH (12% rostered) - FanDuel $4,300
If it’s not Bowen Byram, then it’s Power who’s getting in on the action and carries a three-game points streak into this game. The Sabres acquired Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn from the Jets but it shouldn’t eat too much into Power’s ice time; if anything, if Power is paired with Michael Kesselring or Schenn, it might give him the green light to jump up on offense knowing his partner can bail him out if things go awry.
Ivan Provorov, CBJ vs. UTA (14% rostered) - FanDuel $4,800
Zach Werenski’s status is questionable for this game, which means potentially big minutes for Provorov, who has skated over 26 minutes in each of his past three games. He’s scored four points and seven hits during that span, and the Mammoth PK ranks 21st in the league.
K’Andre Miller, CAR at CGY (16% rostered) - FanDuel $4,300
Shayne Gostisbehere did not finish Friday’s game against the Oilers, which means the PP1 QB spot is open. Alexander Nikishin might get first crack, but Miller is potentially the better pick because he usually plays more minutes and notched three helpers against the Oilers. This is a very favorable matchup for the Canes against a lottery-bound team that recently traded their top defenseman Mac Weegar to Utah and top center Nazem Kadri to Colorado.
