Streaming options from the lone Senators at Hurricanes game on the docket.
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 can be used in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.
Forwards
Josh Norris, C, OTT at CAR (41% rostered)
These light nights are the best ones to stream Norris because he offers more upside than most forwards on either team. He's scored four points in his past four games, and provides shots, blocks, hits and plenty of faceoff wins.
Adam Gaudette, C, OTT at CAR (8% rostered)
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Gaudette, who has 13 goals in 27 games and playing right wing on L2 with Tim Stutzle and Claude Giroux, and PP2 with Norris. Gaudette has scored just one goal in his past five games and I've watched Gaudette enough to know he's a capable but streaky scorer, and generally unreliable in other parts of the game, which is why he doesn't play center and gets limited minutes. I think Gaudette's a risky play, especially if you're picking him up for a single game in leagues that limit the number of moves each week.
Jackson Blake, RW, CAR vs. OTT (1% rostered)
Jack Roslovic may be tempting here, but I actually prefer Blake. Both play PP2, but Blake plays higher in the lineup on L2 with Jordan Staal while Roslovic is expected to play L4 with Tyson Jost, who just got called up. Both Roslovic and Blake will play limited minutes, but I think Blake has been more consistent getting shots on goal lately. If the Sens start Anton Forsberg, the Canes should have an easier time scoring goals.
Defensemen
Sean Walker, D, CAR vs. OTT (6% rostered)
Not normally you'd ever consider at all in fantasy, but keep an eye on Walker. He played 1:41 on the power play last game after a spot opened up on PP2 with Jack Drury injured, though Walker may lose that spot to Tyson Jost, who was called up Thursday. The PP upside will be nice, but otherwise Walker is only good for hits and blocks.
