New Jersey's Dougie Hamilton on a Heater
On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues and/or for daily fantasy games.
Jamie Drysdale, PHI vs. CGY (7% rostered) – FanDuel $4,600
Drysdale notched his first goal of the season Thursday in Game 10 of the 2025-26 campaign. He has yet to become the offensive weapon predicted when he was selected sixth overall in 2020 by the Ducks. Injuries have played a part, but he also has yet to take the next step. Drysdale, though, is skating on Philly's top power play where his production should be aided by playing with Michtei Michkov and Trevor Zegras.
Dmitry Orlov, SJ vs. DET (53% rostered) – FanDuel $5,500
As long Orlov continues to produce and his rostered percentage remains lower than it should be, I will keep highlighting him in this column. Orlov didn't score Saturday but still has nine assists in 12 games played, almost one-third of the way to his point production each of the last two seasons. Orlov is still skating on the top unit power play, and as long as that remains the case, he should continue to be productive.
Dougie Hamilton, NJ @ ANA (96% rostered) – FanDuel $6,300
D-Ham has been red-hot lately, notching three goals and three assists across his last four games. He is now up to seven points (four on the power play), 30 shots on net, 16 blocked shots, 14 hits and a plus-2 rating across 11 outings this season. Hamilton is not running New Jersey's top power play unit, though that has not had an impact on his production. Continue to roll with Hamilton.
