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.
Will Cuylle, LW/RW, NYR @ PHI (40% rostered) - FanDuel $4,900
Cuylle took a major step forward last season, posting 20 goals and 25 assists with a plus-12 rating in his second full campaign in the NHL. He entered 2025-26 with raised expectations, but his performance and production have each declined. Cuylle did turn the tide about six weeks ago, and has tallied six goals and two assists his last 12 appearances, putting him just four tallies shy of his 2024-25 mark.
Alex Laferriere, C/LW/RW, LA @ CLM (37% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
Los Angeles has been beset by injuries, resulting in the import of several new faces prior to Friday's trade deadline. One constant has been Laferriere, whose performance has been uneven this season. The 24-year-old has picked up his game lately, scoring in three of the Kings' last four games, a span in which he's tallied 17 shots and 15 hits as well. Laferriere has 29 points (16 goals, 13 assists) in 62 games this season.
Tyler Bertuzzi, LW/RW, CHI vs. UTAH (46% rostered) - FanDuel $5,900
Chicago hoped to show progress this season following a series of offseason moves. The Blackhawks played improved hockey until Connor Bedard went down, then it all fell apart. Currently, the team sits in one of the bottom two spots in the Western Conference and league overall, despite the additions made. One player who has had a solid campaign is Bertuzzi, who notched his 27th goal Sunday to go with 20 assists in 60 appearances, surpassing his overall numbers from 2024-25, his first in the Windy City.
Brady Tkachuk, C/LW, OTT @ VAN (99% rostered) - FanDuel $7,100
Tkachuk extended his point streak to six games with a goal Saturday, during which he has notched a pair of tallies and four assists. His overall numbers are down due to the six weeks he missed with an injury but while in the lineup, Tkachuk has been a point-per-game player. Tkachuk has 16 markers and 26 helpers in 42 contests while also dishing out 110 hits, the latter down a little as Tkachuk has been a bit more cautious physically.
