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.
Mikhail Sergachev, UTAH vs. TOR (97% rostered) - FanDuel - $5,700
Sergachev, after a slow start to the season, has rounded into form. He opened 2025-26 with six straight scoreless contests. Since then, Sergachev has posted a pair of goals and seven assists his last six contests. Sergachev registered a career-high 15 goals and added 38 helpers over 77 appearances his first season with Utah in 2024-25. An increase on that output is in reach this season.
Filip Hronek, UTAH vs. TOR (39% rostered) - FanDuel - $3,700
Hronek fell from 48 in 2023-24 to 33 points while his plus-minus went from plus-33 to zero last season. The point production was impacted by Hronek playing 20 fewer games, though that doesn't modify the decline in his defensive play, which was impacted somewhat by Thatcher Demko missing substantive action. Hronek is off to a better start to 2025-26 with seven helpers in 14 contests.
Dmitry Orlov, SJ @ SEA (55% rostered) - FanDuel - $3,200
Orlov's rostered percentage continues to steadily rise. On the flip side, his DraftKings price is significantly lower than most other first-unit power play blueliners. To me, that's a buying opportunity. Eventually, the scoring run will end, but until then, ride the wave for as long as it does. Orlov is up to 10 points (all assists) in 13 contests, four of which have come on the man-advantage.
