Boost your fantasy team with high-impact forwards such as Adam Fantilli. Discover hidden gems poised for breakout performances.
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.
Adam Fantilli, C, CBJ vs. FLA (55% rostered) - FanDuel $5,900
Fantilli remains a very good streaming option or a hold for the rest of the season. A goal in his fourth straight game against the Preds also extended his points streak to five games, and the Panthers are shorthanded down the middle without a reliable 1C, rotating between Anton Lundell, Evan Rodrigues and Sam Bennett.
Anze Kopitar, C, LA vs. NYI (26% rostered) - FanDuel $4,700
With Quinton Byfield’s status very questionable for this game, the ageless Kopitar is going to be leaned on a lot. He played 20:08 in a tough matchup against the Avs and logged his third assist in five games. There isn’t a lot left in the tank and at this stage of his career, Kopitar doesn’t possess much offensive upside, but he’s going to log a ton of minutes at the bare minimum.
Luke Evangelista, RW, NSH vs. BOS (10% rostered) - FanDuel $5,000
Evangelista’s assists streak is now at three games, and he played over 20 minutes in Columbus on Tuesday, the first time he’s done so since Jan. 20 against the Sabres in the midst of a four-game points streak. If Ryan O’Reilly cannot play, this potentially opens up even more minutes for Evangelista, especially if the Preds elect to play with 11 forwards.
Gabe Perreault, RW, NYR vs. TOR (1% rostered) - FanDuel $4,000
A very gifted offensive player who’s set to play L1 with Mika Zibanejad and PP2, Perreault is coming off a three-point game against the Jackets, snapping a six-game drought. The Rangers’ lineup is subject to change if they can deal Vincent Trocheck, and if they do, it opens the door for the Rangers to give their prospects more minutes. The Leafs, losers of four straight, offer a favorable matchup with 16 goals allowed in their past four games.
