On every game day thisseason, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managersto stream or roster for the rest of the season.

The recommended players andgoalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can beselected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.Justin Faulk, STL vs.MTL (47% rostered)Were getting closeto the point where Faulk graduates from this list.

Hes been superb over thepast few weeks and registered his third multi-point game in his past fivegames.

The Habs have been playing well but theyre also not particularly gooddefensively and often rely on their offense to stay in games.

Fun fact: Faulkhas never scored a goal against the Habs in 30 career games.

That streak has toend some time, and nows a good time with Faulk and the Blues playing so well.

Brandt Clarke, LA vs.

NYR (22% rostered)The Kings on a roll with eight wins in their past nine gamesand their offense has been excellent with 14 goals (!) in their past two games.Its situations like these where I dont mind rolling the dice with Clarke, whois coming off a two-assist performance but quite pedestrian overall for theseason.

I do like the matchup, however; the Rangers got lucky against theCanucks to earn a 5-3 win despite getting heavily outshot and outplayed and theKings should be able to dominate this matchup.

Clarkes fantasy upside is hisPP2 role with a red-hot Quinton Byfield.Rasmus Sandin, WSH atWPG (9% rostered)Jakob Chychruns status is questionable for this game aftergetting cut by a skate on Saturday.

Should Chychrun sit out, look for Sandin totake over on PP2.

Hes had a very quiet but solid season for one of the bestteams in the league, and his play is trending up with six helpers in his past10 games.

This is not an easy matchup and it might be a low-scoring, grindingaffair, but the Jets have also been uncharacteristically poor defensively,allowing 14 goals in their past three games.

Sandin's an option for PP2 upside in deeper leagues.Rememberto bookmark TheHockey News Fantasy site forstats, news, analysis, rankings, projections and more, including the Sleepers and Keepers fantasyhockey podcast!.
