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 are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be
selected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.

Sean Monahan, C, CBJ
vs. COL
(48% rostered)

Boone Jenner, C/LW, CBJ vs. COL (37% rostered)

Adam Fantilli, C, CBJ vs. COL (26% rostered)

It should be all
systems go for this matchup with the Jackets’ scoring picking up again and the
Avs potentially tired after playing in Chicago on Wednesday. Monahan’s the top
pick (seven points in four games) because he’s their top center, but Jenner (five-game
points streak) provides broad multi-category coverage (goals, hits, faceoff
wins) while Fantilli’s stock (five points in four games) hasn’t faded as much
as expected even with Monahan’s return. Jenner and Fantilli would be the line
stack since they play together at even strength and on PP2.

Mason Marchment, LW,
DAL vs. NSH
(30% rostered)

Marchment already
has two goals in two games against the Preds this season and has a good chance
to keep padding his stats. The Preds allowed eight goals in their previous game
and lost nine of their past 11. Meanwhile, Marchment carries a three-game
points streak into this game and wrapped up productive March with 13 points in
15 games.

Andrei Kuzmenko,
LW/RW, LA at UTA
(16% rostered)

It’s time to be a
believer. Despite bouncing around the league, Kuzmenko seems to have found a
real home in L.A., scoring five points in his past two games. He’s injected some
much-needed offensive flair and creativity into the lineup with the Kings
scoring 12 goals in their past two games. He’s been a regular with Anze Kopitar
and Adrian Kempe.

Viktor Arvidsson,
LW/RW, EDM at SJ
(12% rostered)

It’d be pretty
shocking if the Oilers didn’t score a bunch of goals against the Sharks. The
matchup is the biggest reason to stream Arvidsson, who’s been disappointing
with the Oilers but has been more productive recently with two goals in two
games. He should have a pretty good chance to keep that streak going.

Trevor Zegras, C/LW, ANA
at CGY
(7% rostered)

Zegras and linemate
Mason McTavish, who play together at even strength and on the power play, have provided
a lot of the Ducks offense lately. Zegras is on a four-game points streak and
he’s been playing his best this season in an injury-riddled campaign. He’s
scored 12 points in 15 games since March 1.

Rutger McGroarty, RW,
PIT at STL
(1% rostered)

McGroarty played on
L1 with Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust since getting called up and didn’t look
out of place, finishing with three shots and four this despite recording zero
points. With Evgeni Malkin’s status doubtful, the Pens will definitely be
leaning on their top line to provide offense. McGroarty’s fantasy upside isn’t
high, but his new role is worth noting.
