Discover surging forwards like Bobby McMann and Bo Groulx making immediate impacts. These low-rostered gems offer scoring potential and multi-category boosts for your fantasy team.
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.
Bobby McMann, LW, SEA vs. TB (27% rostered) - FanDuel $4,800
Incredible debut for McMann with five points in two games with the Kraken, playing L1 with Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers. He’s taken Jared McCann’s spot and excelled, and it’s probably a better mix with McMann’s physical play and ability to drive the net.
Mats Zuccarello, RW, MIN at CHI (26% rostered) - FanDuel $5,800
Zuccarello has three helpers and 13 shots in his past three games playing L1 with Kirill Kaprizov and Ryan Hartman. The additional ice time on PP1 is also a big bonus against a poor defensive team.
Collin Graf, LW/RW, SJ at EDM (11% rostered) - FanDuel $4,900
The third spot on the top line with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith can be like a revolving door, but Graf’s the best option right now with a goal in three straight games. He’s going to get a ton of A-plus opportunities against a team that doesn’t defend well.
Alex Newhook, C/LW, MTL vs. BOS (6% rostered) - FanDuel $5,200
A bit of a hot streak for Newhook, who has scored a point in three of his past four games and seven points in nine games. That gives Newhook 19 points in 26 games on the season, a 73-point pace over the course of the season, though we have to take this with a grain of salt with his 26.5 S%. The Habs will get last change on home ice, potentially giving Newhook more favorable matchups.
Bo Groulx, C, TOR vs. NYI (1% rostered) - FanDuel $5,100
Groulx scored two more goals in his fourth game with the Leafs, and for the third straight game played more than 17 minutes. With seven shots, 15 hits and 21 face-off wins, Groulx is proving to be a fantastic late-season waiver-wire pickup in multi-category leagues.
