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.
Cutter Gauthier, LW/RW, ANA vs. MIN (93% rostered) - FanDuel $7,700
Gauthier has shown no signs of slowing his breakout campaign following the Olympics. He has six goals and an assist over four contests in March, giving the sophomore sensation 32 goals, 57 points, 236 shots on net, 49 hits and a plus-6 rating over 61 appearances this season. Gautheir is trending towards a 40-goal season while he tries to help the Ducks, who lead the Pacific Division, earn a playoff spot.
Bryan Rust, LW/RW, PIT vs. BOS (76% rostered) - FanDuel $6,500
Rust is doing his part to keep Pittsburgh in playoff position. He is on a four-game point streak, notching a pair of goals and three assists in that span. The veteran winger is up to 21 goals, 45 points, 138 shots on net, 56 blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over 54 appearances. This is the seventh straight season he has scored at least 42 points and should easily exceed the 50-point mark again.
Ivan Barbashev, LW, LV vs. EDM (35% rostered) - FanDuel $5,200
When you think of Vegas, Barbashev is not the name that first comes to mind given all the talent there. But he remains remarkably consistent offensively for the Knights tallying at least 44 points each of the past five seasons. Barbashev is at 19 goals, 44 points, 99 shots on net, 98 hits and a plus-10 rating over 63 appearances, putting him on pace for back-to-back 50-point campaigns.
