Left off the US Olympic Hockey Team, Look for Robertson to Play with a Chip on His Shoulder
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.
Jason Robertson, LW/RW,DAL vs. MTL (100% rostered) - FanDuel $8,800
Hell has no fury like a spurned athlete. Robertson, left off the US Olympic Hockey Team, responded with a goal and an assist Thursday. Tage Thompson posted strong numbers after he was spurned for the 4 Nations Team. We could see a similar response from Robertson, who is is up to 24 goals, 24 helpers, 159 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-15 rating through 41 appearances. He likely will finish closer to the 109 points he posted in 2022-23 than the 80 he notched each of the last two campaigns.
Mason Marchment, LW, CLM vs. PIT (19% rostered) - FanDuel $4,000
Marchment, who has bolstered his reputation of playing on the edge and being a dirty player, has more than settled in nicely since arriving via trade in Columbus. After going scoreless in his first game as a Blue Jacket, Marchment has dented the scoresheet each of the net five contests, tallying four goals and a pair of helpers while skating on the team's first line. Roll with Marchment while he remains hot as his prior career-high in goals is 22, reached two times.
Ilya Mikheyev, RW, CHI vs. LV (1% rostered) - FanDuel $2,700
Chicago, missing Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar, have struggled without both of their stars. One player who has raised his game recently is Mikheyev in his second season as a Blackhawk. Mikheyev has a pair of two-goal games over his last five outings, during which he has also added an assist. He's now at eight goals, 13 points, 64 shots on net and a minus-5 rating over 37 appearances this season while currently skating on the team's second line.
