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 usually rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues and/or for daily fantasy games.

Goalies:
Igor Shesterkin, NYR vs. MIN (100% rostered) - FanDuel $7,900
Shesterkin should sue his teammates for lack of support. He has allowed just five goals on 130 starts in five games to start the season, but is just 2-2-1 because the Rangers' offense at home has been non-existent. Igor's two wins have come on the road, despite that, I am mildly confident that New York will have a strong effort at home Monday after their comeback win Saturday.
Joey Daccord, SEA vs. PHI (76% rostered) - FanDuel $7,000
Daccord received his first chance at consistent playing time in 2023-24, notching 19 wins. He saw seven more contests of action last season, improving from 19 to 27 victories. Daccord is off to a strong start, going 3-0-1 with a 2.39 goals-against average and .912 save percentage. He no longer should be viewed as a backend starter, proving that he a second goalie in most rotisseries leagues.
Connor Hellebuyck, WPG @ CGY (100% rostered) - FanDuel $7,800
Hellebuyck has a rough Opening Night, since then, he has been his usual dominant self. He has stopped 75 of 80 shots, winning all three contests. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner is a favorite to be in contention for the award again. A fifth-round pick, 130 overall in 2012, Hellebuyck has been an elite netminder since his rookie campaign in 2015-16.
