Frederik Andersen and streaking Hurricanes face the shorthanded Kings, while the Leafs' Anthony Stolarz aims to shut down the Kraken's offense.
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.

Goalies
Anthony Stolarz, TOR vs. SEA (93% rostered) – FanDuel $7,700
Stolarz stole a game against the Rangers in his previous start and he’s been excellent against the Kraken in his career with a 2-0-0 record and just two goals allowed on 53 shots (.962 SP). The Kraken have not been a good road team since inception, ranking 21st in regulation wins with 58 wins.
Frederik Andersen, CAR at LA (67% rostered) – FanDuel $7,600
The Canes are arguably the best team in the league. They dominate possession and don’t allow a lot of shots, which is why they don’t rack up the saves or have high save percentages, but instead often have a low GAA and rack up the wins. They now face a team that has trouble generating offense on a consistent basis that will be without one of the league’s best two-way players. The Kings dominated their past three meetings with 16 goals scored, but I don’t think that will happen this time, and prior to that the Canes won eight straight meetings.
Jet Greaves, CBJ vs. TB (39% rostered) – FanDuel $7,400
The calculus changes if Nikita Kucherov is in the lineup for the Lightning. However, through two starts I’ve been really impressed by Greaves, who’s continued where he left off last season. He has zero wins in two starts but sports a .932 SP and ranks second in goals saved above average per 60 minutes. Greaves should face plenty of shots for a chance at high-volume saves.
