Heiskanen red-hot the first third of the season for the Stars
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.
Jackson LaCombe, ANA @ CHI (87% rostered) - FanDuel $4,800
LaCombe, after posting 14 goals and 29 assists last season, his second in the NHL, got off to a little bit of a slow - but he has found his way since. While his scoring picked up a bit, seven assists in 14 contests after zero points his first four, he really has rounded into form lately. LaCombe has three tallies and four helpers his past six appearances while skating just shy of 26 minutes a contest. Jump on board now before his numbers really explode.
Shayne Gostisbehere, CAR vs. CGY (87% rostered) - FanDuel $5,200
Ghost's career started off well before hitting the skids for three seasons beginning in 2018-19. He rediscovered his form beginning in 2021-22 with Arizona and has carried that forward to Detroit and now Carolina. Ghost has begun 2025-26 extremely strong, notching three goals and 15 assists in 15 games. He is still manning the first power play unit despite the presence of K'Andre Miller and Alexander Nikishin, where he has already notched four points.
Miro Heiskanen, DAL vs. OTT (97% rostered) - FanDuel $5,700
Heiskanen is racking up assists for the Stars. Despite no goals his last 12 games, Heiskanen has posted 16 assists, including eight on the power play, in that span. On the season, Heiskanen sits at three goals and 19 assists in 25 contests. After notching just 25 points in 50 games last season, Heiskanen is on early pace to challenge the 73 points he tallied in the 2022-23 season.
