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.
Viktor Arvidsson, LW/RW, BOS vs. TB (35% rostered) – FanDuel $5,900
Arvidsson flamed out in Edmonton following his signing of a two-year, $8 million contract with the Oilers in July of 2024. Boston acquired Arvidsson in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round draft pick, a move that looks like a steal. Arvidsson, an unrestricted after the season, has five goals and seven helpers over his last eight games helping the Bruins clinch a playoff berth. The 33-year-old winger is up to 53 points (24 goals, 29 assists), 170 shots on net and a plus-20 rating over 67 appearances.
Dylan Holloway, C/LW, STL vs. CHI (80% rostered) – FanDuel $6,500
Speaking of former Oilers, Holloway makes the list today, even though the circumstances of his departure from Edmonton were vastly different than Arvidsson. Holloway exploded last season, his first as a Blue, lighting the lamp 26 times while also adding 37 assists in 77 games. He got off to a slow star, then an injury cost him 20 games, but he has been right as rain since the Olympics break. Holloway has 12 goals, 16 assists, 70 shots on net, 34 hits and 12 blocks across the 21 games he's played since the NHL resumed action. In addition, with 28 points since Feb. 26, he's tied for 10th in the league in points during that span, further evidencing how well he has played.
Alexis Lafreniere, C/LW, NYR @ DAL (49% rostered) – FanDuel $5,200
Bust? Who says Lafreniere is a bust? All the reporting the last five months of the 2024-25 and first 50 or so contests this season had that word written somewhere in the article. The first overall pick in 2020, the big question with Laf is could the Rangers find a partner to take on the remainder of seven-year, $52.15 million contract extension he signed with the Rangers in October of 2024. A look behind the production showed positive signs, but it took the trade of Artemi Panarin and willingness of Lafreniere to not always defer, for him to break out.
Adam Fantilli, C, CLM @ MTL (62% rostered) – FanDuel $6,100
Columbus is hanging in the postseason by their fingertips. The Blue Jackets trail the Flyers by two points with three games remaining for third in the Metro Division. In addition, Columbus is six points south of Ottawa for the second Wild Card. Fantilli is producing in the clutch and acting like a first line center, racking up 11 goals and 26 points over his last 29 games. Look for him to hit that next level next season.
