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.
Charlie Coyle, C/RW, CBJ at FLA (44% rostered)
Coyle’s excellent season with the Jackets continues with his points streak now at seven games. Conor Garland (7% rostered) has garnered a ton of attention with two goals in each of his past two games, but Coyle plays far more minutes and has been the far more consistent producer.
Anthony Cirelli, C, TB vs. DET (33% rostered)
Dylan Larkin seems doubtful for this matchup, which means the Lightning have a distinct matchup advantage at center. Cirelli has four assists in his past three games and playing a lot of minutes between Brandon Hagel and Nikita Kucherov.
Viktor Arvidsson, LW/RW, BOS vs. SJ (16% rostered)
Arvidsson’s on a four-game points streak with two goals and four assists, facing a team that’s not very good defensively and playing on home ice where the Bruins are practically unbeatable. There’s a lot going in Arvidsson’s favor even though his playing time is quite limited and offers little else than points and shots.
Mavrik Bourque, C/RW, DAL vs. EDM (13% rostered)
Bourque didn’t score any points in his previous game but it’s encouraging he’s staying on the top line with Jason Robertson and Wyatt Johnston. The Oilers are not a good defensive team and after Connor Ingram was injured in their last game may be forced to turn to Tristan Jarry, who’s struggled since joining them from the Pens. This is a good matchup for a dangerous Stars offense.
Jimmy Snuggerud, RW, STL at CAR (12% rostered)
Hard to pick between Snuggerud, Jordan Kyrou and Dylan Holloway at times, but Snuggerud has the hottest hand with three consecutive multi-point games. His 19:46 TOI was among the Blues’ leaders, and while the Canes are the far superior team, their goaltending has been especially woeful since the Olympics. Snuggerud is expected to play L1 and PP1 with Holloway and Robert Thomas.
Jason Zucker, LW, BUF vs. WSH (10% rostered)
The Sabres can really score, as they’ve shown in their past few games, and enter this matchup on an eight-game winning streak while the Caps may be tired playing the second game of a back-to-back. Zucker’s scored four goals and six points in his past three games, and he’s a terrific depth scorer and role player. In addition, he can provide really good shot volume. The Caps are expected to start backup Charlie Lindgren, who’s struggled for parts of the season.
Matthew Wood, RW, NSH at VAN (1% rostered)
Lots of opportunities lately for Wood, who’s currently centering the second line with Luke Evangelista, the Preds’ assists leader, and Filip Forsberg, their best all-round forward. Wood is known for scoring goals and he’s scored three in his past three games. This is a very favorable matchup against the league’s worst team.
