Top streaming options for Wednesday include a pair of Dallas Stars wingers, the Minnesota Wild's Ryan Hartman and the Tampa Bay Lightning's Nick Paul.
Mason Marchment, LW, DAL at TOR (36% rostered)
Wyatt Johnston, C/RW, DAL at TOR (32% rostered)
Marchment's got the four-game points streak going so he's certainly worth streaming, but I maintain my stance that Johnston has more long-term value as the top right winger on L1.
Johnston was held off the scoresheet Tuesday against the Sabres, but he continues to get far better deployment and put three shots on goal in a game where the Stars were heavily outshot.
Ryan Hartman, C/RW, MIN at CHI (19% rostered)
Marco Rossi, C, MIN at CHI (7% rostered)
Hartman was seen skating on the top line with Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov on his flanks Tuesday, but Rossi was their center in their last game before the All-Star Weekend.
Tough to make sense of what John Hynes is planning, but whoever gets that L1 assignment -- both Hartman and Rossi usually play PP2 -- will certainly get a big boost in fantasy value.
I'm inclined to stream Hartman over Rossi based on the most recent lines, though Rossi certainly has more upside. With dual-position eligibility, faceoff wins and hits, at least Hartman provides multi-category coverage.
Nick Paul, C/LW, TB at NYR (18% rostered)
Paul played 19:50 and scored two points in the Lightning's win against the Devils just prior to the All-Star Weekend, and he returns playing L1 with Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point. This is a plum assignment for Paul, who can be a boom-or-bust player, but hopefully more boom than bust playing with elite talent. At the very least, Paul can provide shots, faceoff wins and hits, too.
Philipp Kurashev, C, CHI vs. MIN (1% rostered)
No matter how meek the Hawks' offense may seem, they're still more likely than not to score a few goals. Kurashev's their top center and despite registering just one assist in his past 10 games, maintains his L1 and PP1 role. He's due for a goal, too, with a season-low 3.4 shooting percentage (1 goal on 29 shots in 14 games) in January.
