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 or for daily fantasy games.
Morgan Geekie, C/LW/RW, BOS at NJ (36% rostered)
Geekie’s seven-game points streak now totals five goals and eight assists, and there’s little reason to think he’ll stop. He’s now a fixture on their top line with David Pastrnak, and even on a low-upside offensive team playing against the surging Devils, Geekie’s hot streak is too good to ignore. There’s no other line on the Bruins that can really score.
Anton Lundell, C/RW, FLA vs. TOR (30% rostered)
I expect the Panthers to play some of their veterans in a key divisional matchup after a few of them sat out due to rest. You can’t rest players for too long otherwise they get rusty. However, with Aleksander Barkov not expected to play due to injury, look for Lundell to again play a lot of key minutes. The Leafs are a tough matchup with good goaltending, but with rested veterans back in the lineup and lots of ice time, Lundell should be in a good position to score some points.
Pius Suter, C/LW, VAN at DAL (22% rostered)
Tough matchup because the Stars are so deep down the middle, but Suter remains the Canucks’ No. 1 center by default and after a two-game stretch without any points, he managed to at least notch an assist Sunday against the Knights. Suter has played at least 20 minutes in seven of his past nine games.
Marco Kasper, C/LW, DET at MTL (11% rostered)
Kasper has four points in his past five games centering the second scoring line with Lucas Raymond on his wing. Kasper has quietly had an excellent rookie season and provides multi-category value with points, shots, faceoff wins and a modest amount of hits.
Filip Hronek, D, VAN at DAL (46% rostered)
The Canucks’ playoff hopes are all but dust, and you wonder if Hronek will start to play more minutes as Quinn Hughes gets some reprieve at the end of the season. Hronek trails only Hughes in ice time most nights, and he carries a two-game points streak into this admittedly tough matchup.
Matt Grzelcyk, D, PIT vs. CHI (6% rostered)
Grzelcyk has just one assist in four games following a four-game assist streak, but it’s not a huge concern seeing how he led all Pens defensemen in ice time in their most recent game. He’s put 13 shots on goal during that span and this is a matchup where both teams should be able to score at least a few goals. Grzelcyk should also get favorable matchups being on home ice.
