Goalies
Carter Hart, VGK at SEA (18% rostered) – FanDuel $7,700
It certainly looks like Hart will be the Knights’ number one option after winning three straight games, and he gets another favorable matchup against the Kraken. They’re trending in opposite directions; the Kraken have lost six straight with at least four goals allowed in four of those games, and they can’t score either, scoring just two goals or less in all six games. Hart should be a very popular streaming option for Thursday’s slate.
Joel Hofer, STL vs. WPG (48% rostered) – FanDuel $7,500
Hofer continues to be brilliant, and although he was tagged with a loss against the Avs, he did an admirable job stopping 34 of 37 shots (.919 SP). Since March 1, Hofer has had only one game in which he had a .918 SP or lower, and the Jets offense is certainly less intimidating than the Avs’.
Anton Forsberg, LA vs. VAN (8% rostered) – FanDuel $8,000
Forsberg has won two straight starts and will be looking for his third as the Kings chase a playoff spot. He’s played well enough to supplant Darcy Kuemper as the starter, and the Canucks don’t pose much of a challenge as the league’s worst team with a flaccid offense. The Canucks likely won’t generate many shots nor scoring opportunities, making Forsberg’s job very easy.
Arturs Silovs, PIT at NJ (16% rostered) – FanDuel $7,500
Silovs will be going for his fourth straight win and it’s certainly possible given how effective the Pens offense has been. The Devils have some firepower of their own with Jack Hughes, so expect Silovs to allow a few goals. The upside in streaming Silovs is the high likelihood of a win.
