Forwards

Tom Wilson, RW, WSH at PHI (47% rostered)

Given Wilson’s four-game objective streak to start out the season and the way this matchup has historically been very bodily, I count on him to offer fantasy worth in a number of classes. In 43 profession video games in opposition to the Flyers, Wilson has racked up 22 factors and 121 penalty minutes, greater than another workforce he is confronted in his profession. I might be shocked if Wilson comes away from this recreation with a bunch of zeroes, which occurred method too typically final season.

Anton Lundell, C/RW, FLA vs. MIN (44% rostered)

This is perhaps your final probability to benefit from each Lundell, who’s on a four-game factors streak and notched two assists in opposition to the Knights of their final recreation, and Sam Bennett, who’s now rostered in 50% of leagues. Aleksander Barkov is predicted to return on the Panthers’ street journey earlier than they head to Finland for the World Collection.

It is unclear how the traces will look upon Barkov’s return as a result of Lundell has exceeded expectations and utilizing him as a matchup-dependent third-line middle looks like a waste of his talents. Both method, Lundell’s an amazing streaming choice regardless that the Wild’s goaltending has been wonderful with Filip Gustavsson in web.

Mikael Granlund, C/RW, SJ at ANA (28% rostered)

I really feel like Granlund’s a must-start with a three-game help streak and a superb matchup in opposition to the rival Geese, who’re permitting a league-high 35.4 photographs per recreation. The one purpose they have not allowed as many targets as they need to’ve is the play of Lukas Dostal. Granlund is bound to play a ton of minutes and win plenty of attracts. And notice that he scored three factors in two video games in opposition to the Geese final season. Even when you do not have house in your roster, Granlund and Lundell are the 2 I might think about making house for.

Josh Norris, C, OTT at UTA (21% rostered)

Norris has scored three targets in three video games, and never solely is he a powerful streaming choice in opposition to a Utah protection that is lacking a key participant in Sean Durzi, he is additionally a superb rest-of-season maintain. Taking part in behind Tim Stutzle has not likely negatively affected Norris’ fantasy worth.

Jake Neighbours, LW/RW, STL vs. WPG (16% rostered)

Connor Hellebuyck is predicted to start out, so good luck attempting to beat him. However the Blues are coming in sizzling with consecutive wins over the Isles and Canes, with Neighbours scoring a objective in each video games. He is been sluggish to get going and his ice time has yo-yoed, however he stays locked in on L2 with Pavel Buchnevich and PP1 with Robert Thomas.

Conor Garland, RW, VAN at CHI (10% rostered)

Garland assisted on Nils Hoglander’s objective (honorable point out under) in a 3-0 win in opposition to the Flyers on Saturday and he is averaging 18:51 per recreation this season with second-line minutes and PP2. That is 4 minutes greater than what he averaged final season. If Elias Pettersson can get up, Garland’s fantasy worth will get a giant enhance.

Morgan Frost, C, PHI vs. WSH (7% rostered)

Frost is predicted to be Philadelphia’s L1 and PP1 middle regardless that the traces had been jumbled at apply on account of Scott Laughton’s absence, who was away awaiting the start of his baby. The Flyers offense hasn’t been thrilling, however Frost will play with both Matvei Michkov or Travis Konecny on his wing. He stays the middle with probably the most upside on their workforce.

Max Pacioretty, LW, TOR at CLB (4% rostered)

I do surprise on a regular basis how a lot Pacioretty has left within the tank, however sitting out two straight video games as a wholesome scratch positively supplied a little bit additional motivation, and he responded with a objective in opposition to the Lightning on Monday. He’ll play on a scoring line with John Tavares and Nick Robertson and see minutes on PP2. The Jackets are anticipated to have Elvis Merzlikins again in web, who may not have the ability to enhance their 3.60 GA/GP or Twenty sixth-ranked PK.

Drew O’Connor, LW, PIT at CGY (2% rostered)

We’re 100% taking part in the matchup right here. With Anthony Beauvillier moved off Sidney Crosby’s line — lastly — O’Connor strikes again up, and he is been reasonably productive to date with 4 factors in seven video games, three of which had been scored prior to now three video games. His ice time will certainly enhance on the highest line, and the great factor is he is averaging shut to 2 photographs per recreation.

Brett Howden, C, VEG vs. LA (0% rostered)

We’re beginning to dig actually deep right here, and odds are you will not need to with 32 groups in motion. Nevertheless it’s value noting Howden moved as much as Tomas Hertl’s line final recreation and responded with a objective, changing Tanner Pearson, who had stepped in for the injured Victor Olofsson. Howden completed with 17:15 in ice time with three photographs, two faceoff wins and three blocks for multi-category protection.

Zach L’Heureux, LW, NSH vs. BOS (0% rostered)

Name it a hunch because the twenty seventh total choose in 2021 prepares for his NHL debut. A high-energy participant who performs a bit like an unpredictable pinball, L’Heureux has scored 53 factors with 201 PIM in 70 video games within the AHL. He is introduced in to offer some much-needed leap for the winless Preds, and whereas he is anticipated to play restricted minutes on the fourth line, I believe if you happen to’re in search of some hits and PIM, L’Heureux is perhaps a sneaky choice. I’ve little doubt he’ll need to make his presence felt early and sometimes.

Defensemen

Philip Broberg, D, STL vs. WPG (25% rostered)

Broberg’s indomitable factors streak continues, now sitting at six video games. The Blues have discovered a formidable second pairing in Broberg with Justin Faulk, who was a extremely really useful pickup earlier within the season and stays value rostering. This is probably not a high-scoring affair, however it’s a must to maintain rolling the cube with the new hand.

Brayden McNabb, D, VEG vs. LA (14% rostered)

I usually like McNabb as a streaming play as a result of he is normally good for a number of hits and blocks. I like him barely greater than normal on this matchup, nevertheless, as a result of he’ll be skating with Shea Theodore moderately than Zach Whitecloud because the Knights swap up their “D” pairings. Theodore’s offensive means will give McNabb a greater probability to register a degree, and I believe they will be relying quite a bit on this pairing after Noah Hanifin-Alex Pietrangelo in a key divisional matchup. Nic Hague and Whitecloud will likely be on the third pair.
