Quinton Byfield, C/LW, LA vs. NSH (45% rostered)
After a two-game absence, Byfield has been very productive on offense, scoring eight points in his past seven games, and played over 19 minutes in three of his past five games. I'm not a big advocate of Pierre-Luc Dubois, but there's no denying that he's a very good player when he tries. Byfield and Dubois form a formidable third line, better than most teams' second, and they've been rolling so far as the Kings try to turn a corner after a horrendous stretch. Byfield provides some extra added value with PP1 exposure.

Artturi Lehkonen, LW, COL at DET (42% rostered)
That's now four goals and seven points in four games for Lehkonen after he scored in a 3-1 win against the Canucks, and he's reaping the benefits of playing significant top-six minutes on a thin Avs lineup and on PP1 with their big guns. The Red Wings have been sneaky-good since Jan. 1, but also just allowed 12 goals in two games last week.
Dylan Strome, C, WSH at TB (26% rostered)
Strome scored three points against the Devils and over the past three months has scored 29 points in 34 games. That's a 79-point pace, and yet Strome is still very much under-rostered. He's attached to the hip with Alex Ovechkin and the Lightning have been giving up a lot of goals this season.
J.T. Compher, LW/RW, DET vs. COL (15% rostered)
Compher plays on a high-upside line with Lucas Raymond and Alex DeBrincat on his wings, and also forms a power-play unit with Raymond and Dylan Larkin. Compher gets to play with basically all of the Wings' best players, and he's scored nine points in his past 11 games.
Erik Haula, LW, NJ vs. NYR (8% rostered)
Haula will score points as long as he plays with Jack Hughes. He's scored four points in his past five games. If you're looking for multi-category coverage, Haula's a great option with faceoff wins and some hits and blocks. Hughes and Haula's line saw, by far, the most usage at 5-on-5 against the Caps.
Lars Eller, C, PIT vs. MTL (1% rostered)
This is a boom-or-bust type of stream, but note Eller is playing PP1 with Evgeni Malkin dropped to PP2 and L3. Eller's playing with Reilly Smith and Valtteri Puustinen on his wings, and they were excellent against the Isles, trailing only Sidney Crosby's line in 5-on-5 ice time and dominated their opponents in shot attempts, 17-5. Eller just snapped a six-game goal drought with his 10th of the season against the Isles.
