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.
Mika Zibanejad, C/RW, NYR vs. OTT (90% rostered) - DraftKings $9,000
Zibanejad reached several milestones with his power-play tally Sunday. The marker was Zibanejad's 280th career goal with the Rangers, tying Adam Graves for fourth in franchise history; Rod Gilbert leads with 406. In addition, Zibanejad reached the 30-goal mark for the fourth time in his career, all coming with New York. Monday, Zib will skate in his 1,000th career contest, he has 344 goals and 463 assists in 999 games.
Tye Kartye, LW, NYR vs. OTT (3% rostered) - DraftKings $3,000
A slightly cheaper option Monday might be Kartye. He has provided New York with physical play since arriving from Seattle while his offense has been better than expected. Kartye lit the lamp Sunday, giving him three goals and five assists in 12 contests with the Rangers. He is skating on a line with JT Miller and Conor Sheary.
Tim Stutzle, C/LW, OTT @ NYR (99% rostered) - DraftKings $9,800
Stutzle cracked the 70-point barrier for the fourth straight season, posting 32 goals and 40 assists in 69 contests. Hitting 90 points, as he did in 2022-23 seems unlikely, but an 80-point season certainly looks to be in reach. Stutzle has notched 24 of his 72 points on the man-advantage, as he continues to lead the Senators offensively.
Shane Pinto, C, OTT @ NYR (30% rostered) - DraftKings $7,800
Quietly, Pinto is producing in March. His assists Saturday gave Pinto three goals and six assists over 10 outings this month, contributing well from a third-line role. In addition, that point helped Pinto set a new career-high in that category surpassing the 37 he notched last season. Pinto was able to hit this mark in just 59 contests, compared to the 70 appearance he made in 2024-25.
