Snag Jimmy Snuggerud, Patrick Kane, and Shane Pinto as they heat up! Don't miss these under-the-radar forwards poised for big fantasy points.
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.
Jimmy Snuggerud, RW, STL vs. WPG (37% rostered) – FanDuel $5,600
Snuggerud and the Blues’ top line continues to chug along. Though Snuggerud hasn’t scored a goal in five games and faces an elite goalie in Connor Hellebuyck, he’s notched four assists in his past two games and his line has generated much of the Blues’ offense. At the bare minimum, Snuggerud should provide solid shot volume.
Patrick Kane, RW, DET vs. PHI (36% rostered) – FanDuel $5,800
Massive game for the Red Wings with the Caps winning last night, and Kane has been a key offensive play driver with three points in his past two games and 20 points in his past 18 games. Kane notched two assists in their previous meeting on March 28 in Detroit.
Ryan Hartman, C/RW, MIN at DAL (29% rostered) – FanDuel $5,900
Hartman’s got a tough matchup but he’s red-hot with a seven-game points streak. The Stars seem to be slumping late in the season for the second year in a row having lost eight of their past 12 while the Wild have won four straight with 19 goals scored. The Wild should be able to score at least a few against expected starter Jake Oettinger.
Shane Pinto, C, OTT vs. FLA (25% rostered) – FanDuel $5,700
That’s three goals in four games for Pinto, all of which were wins for the surging Sens as they hunt for a playoff spot. The Panthers lost Dmitry Kulikov to a broken finger, further depleting their already depleted lineup. The Sens should have a distinct matchup advantage in all facets of this game.
Logan Stankoven, C/RW, CAR at CHI (22% rostered) – FanDuel $5,000
Good chance the Canes will dominate puck possession in this game, as per usual, which bodes well for Stankoven as he tries to extend his points streak to five games. He’s had a quiet season but the increased shot volume lately should give him plenty of opportunities to score goals. He’s done most of his damage on the power play and this is a good matchup because the Canes have one of the best net penalty differentials in the league while the Hawks have one of the worst, which means the Canes are likely to get more power play opportunities than the Hawks.
Tyson Foerster, LW/RW, PHI at DET (8% rostered) – FanDuel $5,900
Foerster has scored three goals in four games since returning to the lineup and provided a much-needed emotional and offensive boost to the Flyers. He’s expected to play L1 with Trevor Zegras and Owen Tippett, and it’s by far their most dangerous scoring line. Foerster provides plenty of shot volume and the Wings are losing their grip on a playoff spot with another weak performance in March, losing five of their past six with 22 goals allowed.
