One-game schedule nets a few options in Cirelli and McMann
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
Anthony Cirelli, C, TB @ TOR (4% rostered)
The past five seasons, Cirelli has alternated solid and poor seasons, tallying at least 43 points in the "good" campaigns and less than 30 points in the "so-so" ones. Based on that pattern, Cirelli is slated to have another average seasons. He is doing his best early on to change that narrative, notching a goal with three assists his first four games this campaign. Cirelli is locked in as Tampa's second-line pivot and will be relied upon even more with the departure of Steven Stamkos this past offseason.
Bobby McMann, LW, TOR vs. TB (4% rostered)
McMann missed the first game of the season with a knee injury but has found his groove since returning. He has three goals over his last three appearances while attempting eight shots after posting 15 markers on 118 shots with 117 hits in 56 games as a rookie last season. The 28-year-old winger is skating on Toronto's second line opposite Max Domi and William Nylander while also seeing time on the team's second power play unit.
Defensemen
Janis Moser, TB @ TOR (4% rostered)
Moser was dealt to Tampa Bay this past offseason in a trade that sent Mikhail Sergachev to Utah. Both players have benefited from the move, though Moser received the large bump in value as he is skating opposite Victor Hedman. Moser topped out at 31 points two seasons ago in his three campaigns with Arizona but has a good chance at easily exceeding that mark this season. In addition, Moser should finish on the positive side of the plus-minus ledger for the first time in his career.
Jake McCabe TOR vs. TB (17% rostered)
McCabe more than enjoyed his first full season in Toronto. He posted career highs in goals (eight), assists (20), points (28), plus-minus (plus-20), hits (219) and PIM (56). McCabe is not known for his offense; seen in 28 points being his best, but he also contributes across the board. He is skating more than 20 minutes a game, aiding those who are in leagues with that category, opposite Oliver Ekman-Larsson.
