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.
Zach Werenski, CLM vs. TOR (100% rostered) – DraftKings $9,800
Werenski entered Tuesday's game in a mild slump with just one assist in his last six contests. He got back on the beam with a goal and a helper against the Sabres. Werenski thrust his way into the Norris Trophy race last season, finishing with career-bests in goals (23), assists (59) and blocked shots (131). He is one of the keys to the Blue Jackets' attack, both at even-strength and on the man-advantage.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, TOR @ CLM (28% rostered) – DraftKings $6,600
Morgan Rielly is still the primary "weapon" on the Maple Leafs' blueline but OEL has certainly worked his way into the narrative. Ekman-Larsson has scored between 22 and 32 points each of the past six seasons. This season may be no different, though OEL is on a heater early, posting a goal and six assists in 10 contests. He has the most points from the Toronto defense to date.
