Light schedule reduces the number of blueline options but a pair of d-men are worth a look
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.
K'Andre Miller, NYR vs. BOS (7% rostered)
Miller continued his recent resurgence with the game-winning goal Sunday. The point gave the young veteran blueliner five points in his last seven games as he continues to play well with Will Borgen. The 25-year-old defenseman, after a brutally slow start, is up to four goals, eight assists, 72 shots on net, 70 hits and 64 blocks across 46 appearances this season.
John Klingberg, EDM @ CHI (3% rostered)
Klingberg, out of action for over a year, with his most recent NHL game coming Nov. 11, 2023, against Vancouver, signed a one-year contract with the Oilers on January 17. He played just 14 games in 2022-23 and was sidelined after hip resurfacing surgery but now is reportedly 100% healthy. Klingberg lengthens the Edmonton blueliner but may take a bit of time to get back into game shape. Tread lightly initially, but on a light game night, he is worth a flier.
