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.
Valeri Nichushkin, COL vs. VAN (53% rostered) - FanDuel $5,300
Nichushkin is still struggling to light the lamp, though his offense has picked up after a bit of a slump. He has a goal and four assists his last six contests following a stretch where he notched just a pair of tallies and a helper in 11 games. Nichushkin remains on the second line and second unit power play, affording him value and production potential in Colorado.
Quinton Byfield, C, LA vs. STL (53% rostered) - FanDuel $5,400
Byfield, after an extended slump, is rolling. He has five goals and four assists his last seven games, putting him striking distance of 50 points for the third straight season. Q is up to 18 markers and 24 apples in 70 contests, leaving him eight points of that mark with nine games remaining. Los Angeles needs Byfield to remain hot, as they are one point behind Nashville for the second Wild Card spot with a game in hand.
