Jiri Kulich On every game day this season, THN Fantasy [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/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. Pavel Dorofeyev, LW/RW, VGK at NYI (46% rostered) Dorofeyev has a chance to extend his points streak to four games after scoring four points in his past three games. The Russian high-volume shooter is the main offensive weapon on their second line and also lines up with Jack Eichel and Mark Stone on PP1. Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, WSH vs. FLA (46% rostered) This might be one of the last times you can pick up Dubois and roster him for the rest of the season. He's on a four-game points streak with multi-category coverage playing L2 and PP2. Dubois is low-key having one of the best seasons in his career. Bryan Rust, RW, PIT vs. NJ (46% rostered) A mainstay in this column, Rust is once again a great streaming option and ROS hold. He's a fixture on the Penguins' top line and he's been excellent throughout his career against the Devils with 31 points in 37 games. Matthew Knies, LW, TOR at CGY (45% rostered) Mitch Marner's availability is questionable as of Monday evening after missing practice, which certainly hurts the potency of the Maple Leafs' top line. Should Marner miss this game, however, it might open up some more offensive responsibilities for Knies, who scored a goal and an assist in his return following a two-game absence. JJ Peterka, LW/RW, BUF vs. CBJ (44% rostered) Jason Zucker, LW, BUF vs. CBJ (22% rostered) Jiri Kulich, C, BUF vs. CBJ (4% rostered) This is shaping up to be a high-scoring game because neither team defends particularly well. Peterka's fantasy value takes a hit if Tage Thompson does not dress, but that could also mean more minutes for Peterka. He's on a three-game points streak with four goals and six points on 11 shots playing L1 with Kulich, who has four points in his past four games. Zucker's another option who can provide goals and hits. He's on a two-game goal streak while playing L2 with Dylan Cozens and PP1. Kent Johnson [https://thehockeynews.com/.image/c_fit,h_600,w_600/MjEyNTkyMDM2MjAzNzM0NTM3/usatsi_25312350.jpg] Kent Johnson Adam Fantilli, C, CBJ at BUF (36% rostered) Kent Johnson, C/LW/RW, CBJ at BUF (21% rostered) There may no other center with more upside than Fantilli on the waiver wire right now. He's on a three-game points streak and produce points on a very consistent basis since taking over for Sean Monahan. Kirill Marchenko is out with a broken jaw and will likely be replaced by Johnson; while Marchenko's been the Jackets' most dangerous goal scorer, Johnson is no slouch and he's been quietly have a solid season. With an elevated role, Johnson's a great under-the-radar streaming option. If he keeps producing points - he's on a seven-game points streak - he will have plenty of value for the rest of the season as well. Jonathan Drouin, LW/RW, COL at VAN (34% rostered) The Canucks defense certainly improved after acquiring Marcus Pettersson, but they're still outmatched by the Avalanche, especially if Quinn Hughes remains unavailable. Drouin has scored five points in his past two games he's a boom-or-bust streaming option because he offers little else other than scoring, but he's historically been very good against the Canucks with 17 points in 21 career games. Pavel Zacha, C/LW, BOS vs. MIN (17% rostered) Zacha scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's win against the Rangers, and the Bruins' top line continues to produce with David Pastrnak finally finding his scoring touch. Zacha's scored 14 points in his past 15 games. Jaden Schwartz, C/LW, SEA vs. DET (16% rostered) The biggest surprise from Swartz's fantasy value this season is the significant increase in shot volume. He's on pace for well over 200 shots, which would be the first time he's done so in his career, and also averaging two more minutes per game from the previous season. Schwartz is on a three-game points streak and plays both L1 and PP1 on a line with Matty Beniers and Kaapo Kakko. Will Smith, C/RW, SJ vs. MTL (7% rostered) Mikael Granlund's trade to the Stars has allowed Smith to move into his natural position at center on the second line. This is a great opportunity to really show his offensive ability; he's on a six-game points streak playing against a team that's suddenly slumping with five straight losses and 19 goals allowed. Filip Chytil, C, VAN vs. COL (3% rostered) Chytil looked fantastic in his Canucks debut, scoring a goal on three shots and playing 20:03. He's slotted in as their second-line center and formed instant chemistry with Conor Garland. The Avs are not a good defensive team, which could allow Chytil to keep his hot streak going. Chytil is getting minutes and offensive opportunities he would've otherwise not received with the Rangers.
