A busy Saturday schedule offers two pairs of quality streamers in Pierre-Luc Dubois and Quinton Byfield of the Kings and Ryan Strome and Connor McMichael of the Capitals.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, LA vs. ANA (43% rostered)
Quinton Byfield, C/LW, LA vs. ANA (47% rostered)
This matchup is good. Not only has the Dubois-Byfield combo worked well lately, the Kings have scored at least four goals in six of their past seven matchups, all of which were wins. The Ducks are one of the league's most penalized teams, so if they can get them out there on the power play -- Byfield is PP1 with Dubois on PP2 -- there's some extra added value there. If you can only pick one, go with Byfield.
Ryan Strome, C, WSH at FLA (27% rostered)
Connor McMichael, C, WSH at FLA (1% rostered)
Strome remains one of my favorite streams due to his L1/PP1 role with Alex Ovechkin. With the team short on centers, McMichael has emerged as a streaming option, too, albeit only in deep 14-plus teams. Note, however, that McMichael has scored two goals in consecutive games and getting lots of ice time as their No. 2 center, playing shifts on PP2 with Ovechkin (he stays on the entire time) and Tom Wilson. The Caps offense has been humming with 15 goals in their past three games, all wins.
Shane Pinto, C, OTT vs. VEG (16% rostered)
There should be plenty of upside for Pinto, who's playing with Brady Tkachuk on their second line and PP1. The best part about Pinto's fantasy value is his broad multi-category coverage with shots, faceoff wins, hits and blocks. The deployment and usage is good with nearly 19 minutes of ice time per game in February. The Knights will be shorthanded and without captain Mark Stone, who's also their best two-way player.
Corey Perry, RW, EDM vs. CGY (12% rostered)
The deployment isn't great; Perry's been skating with Leon Draisaitl, not Connor McDavid, and only occasionally. This is the second game of a back-to-back for the Oilers but these rivalry games tend to be the ones where Perry thrives. Despite limited minutes, he's scored three goals and four points in his past four games. If you're looking for some shots and maybe some penalty minutes, Perry's a good option.
Bobby McMann, C, TOR at COL (11% rostered)
And the legend of McMann continues! Of course, there's always the risk that McMann's hot streak ends at any time, but it's now impossible to deny his excellent hot streak with seven goals and 10 points in his past six games. He's showing excellent chemistry with Nick Robertson and John Tavares, and no wonder Sheldon Keefe has been so reluctant to break them up. The Leafs are heavily reliant on their top PP unit, but note McMann and Robertson has been featured on the second unit whenever there's some leftover minutes.
