On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues and/or for daily fantasy games.

John Gibson, DET at Dustin Wolf, CGY (8:30 p.m. ET)

Goalies
Igor Shesterkin, NYR @ CHI (100% rostered) - FanDuel $8,100
Igor raised his game when Jonathan Quick was sidelined with a lower body injury before he returned to action Sunday. The Czar went 5-1-1 with a 2.29 GAA and .923 save percentage in those seven appearances. His hot streak upped his season marks to 12-9-3 with a 2.46 GAA and a .913 save percentage. Roll with the hot goalies even though New York is facing Connor Bedard and the Blackhawks.
John Gibson, DET @ CGY (22% rostered) - FanDuel $8,000
Gibson enters Wednesday's game on a roll. He notched a 39-save shutout Monday against the Canucks, extending his win streak to three games. Gibson, who had been splitting time with Cam Talbot, may have earned a larger portion of the timeshare between the two. He is now 7-7-1 with a 3.34 goals-against average (GAA) and .881 save percentage through 16 appearances. The expectation is that Gibson will go Wednesday and Talbot on Thursday, though Detroit may have Gibson start against the Oilers on the tail end of the back-to-back.
Darcy Kuemper, LA @ SEA (96% rostered) - FanDuel $7,500
Kuemper may have played his way into consideration for Team Canada in the Olympics. With his win Monday, Kuemper now now has a 10-6-5 record with a 2.23 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 21 appearances this season. Kuemper has allowed less than two goals per game across his last eight appearances and finished Monday's contest tied for 10th in goalie wins across the NHL.
