It’s been a couple months so we’re due for an updated list for players to stream and hold. Where comments are necessary, I’ll be sure to say so. Remember that I put injured players that are holds when they are healthy, and I’d keep them in an IR spot. Assume starting goalies are holds. Let’s get to it!
ANAHEIM DUCKS
Hold: Zegras, Terry
Stream: Rakell, Getzlaf, Milano, Comtois, Drysdale, Fowler, Lindholm, Shattenkirk
ARIZONA COYOTES
Hold: Keller
Stream: Kessel, Crouse, Larsson, Schmaltz, Chychrun, Gostisbehere, Vejmelka
I was going to make a case for holding Chychrun because he could blow up when he’s traded, but we’re two months away from the deadline so I’m not there yet. He could have a huge finish though.
BOSTON BRUINS
Hold: Bergeron, Pastrnak, Marchand, McAvoy, Rask, Ullmark
Stream: Hall, Smith, Haula, Grzelcyk
BUFFALO SABRES
Hold: Thompson, Skinner, Tuch, Dahlin
Stream: Cozens, Olofsson
Skinner and Tuch are a debate, but I’m all in on the first line right now.
CALGARY FLAMES
Hold: Tkachuk, Lindholm, Gaudreau, Andersson, Kylington, Hanifin
Stream: Monahan, Mangiapane, Coleman
I’m a bit bullish on those secondary defensemen right now.
CAROLINA HURRICANES
Hold: Aho, Teravainen, Svechnikov, DeAngelo, Slavin
Stream: Niederreiter, Trocheck, Jarvis, Necas, Staal, Pesce, Skjei
CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
Hold: DeBrincat, Kane, Jones
Stream: Toews, Hagel, Kubalik, Dach, Gustafsson, Murphy, De Haan
COLORADO AVALANCHE
Hold: MacKinnon, Rantanen, Landeskog, Kadri, Burakovsky, Makar, Toews
Stream: Nichushkin, O’Connor, Compher, Newhook, Girard, Francouz
COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS
Hold: Jenner, Bjorkstrand, Laine, Werenski
Stream: Nyquist, Texier, Voracek, Domi, Roslovic, Bean, Boqvist
DALLAS STARS
Hold: Hintz, Robertson, Pavelski, Klingberg, Heiskanen
Stream: Seguin, Benn, Gurianov, Radulov, Lindell, Suter
DETROIT RED WINGS
Hold: Larkin, Bertuzzi, Raymond, Seider
Stream: Fabbri, Suter, Namestnikov, Hronek
I’m torn on Raymond right now, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.
EDMONTON OILERS
Hold: McDavid, Draisaitl, Hyman, RNH, Nurse, Bouchard, Barrie
Stream: Yamamoto, Puljujarvi, Perlini
With Barrie out, Bouchard is a slam dunk hold. It’s close otherwise, but still lean towards hold.
FLORIDA PANTHERS
Hold: Barkov, Verahaeghe, Reinhart, Bennent, Huberdeau, Duclair, Ekblad, Weegar, Montour
Stream: Lundell, Hornqvist
LOS ANGELES KINGS
Hold: Kopitar, Arvidsson, Doughty
Stream: Kempe, Iafallo, Danault, Moore, Brown, Byfield, Roy, Durzi, Petersen
Way more streams than I ever anticipated, but don’t see much of a case for holding these guys unless you want to gamble on Petersen.
MINNESOTA WILD
Hold: Kaprizov, Hartman, Zuccarello, Eriksson Ek, Fiala, Spurgeon, Dumba, Talbot and Kahkonen
Stream: Boldy, Greenway, Foligno, Goligoski
MONTREAL CANADIENS
Hold: None?
Stream: Suzuki, Gallagher, Anderson, Hoffman, Toffoli, Drouin, Lehkonen, Petry
The top guys could change things, but right now, I don’t want a thing to do with Montreal.
NASHVILLE PREDATORS
Hold: Forsberg, Duchene, Granlund, Josi
Stream: Johansen, Kunin, Jeannot, Ekholm, Fabbro, Carrier
NEW JERSEY DEVILS
Hold: Hughes, Bratt, Hischier, Hamilton, Severson
Stream: Tatar, Zacha, Mercer, Johansson, Subban
Severson is contingent on Hamilton being out.
NEW YORK ISLANDERS
Hold: Barzal, Lee, Dobson, Sorokin and Varlamov
Stream: Nelson, Beauvillier, Wahlstrom, Pageau, Pelech, Pulock, Mayfield
NEW YORK RANGERS
Hold: Kreider, Zibanejad, Panarin, Strome, Fox, Trouba
Stream: Kakko, Lafreniere, Georgiev
OTTAWA SENATORS
Hold: Tkachuk, Norris, Batherson, Chabot
Stream: Stutzle, Formenton, Paul
PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Hold: Atkinson, Giroux, Provorov
Stream: Farabee, JVr, Konecny, Hayes, Yandle
PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Hold: Crosby, Guentzel, Rust, Malkin, Letang
Stream: Rodrigues, Carter, Kapanen, Zucker
SAN JOSE SHARKS
Hold: Meier, Hertl, Couture, Burns, Karlsson
Stream: Dahlen, Barabanov
SEATTLE KRAKEN
Hold: McCann, Eberle, Schwartz, Giordano
Stream: Dunn, Donato, Johansson, Soucy
ST. LOUIS BLUES
Hold: Tarasenko, Buchenvich, Kyrou, RoR, Perron, Krug, Parayko, Faulk, Binnington and Husso
Stream: Thomas, Schenn, Barbashev, Saad
Lot of close calls here, most of which I covered over the last week.
TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Hold: Kucherov, Point, Stamkos, Palat, Hedman, Sergachev
Stream: Killorn, Cirelli, Perry, McDonagh
TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Hold: Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Reilly
Stream: Kase, Bunting, Mikheyev, Kerfoot, Muzzin, Sandin
VANCOUVER CANUCKS
Hold: Boeser, Miller, Pettersson, Horvat, Hughes
Stream: Hoglander, Pearson, Garland, Myers
VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Hold: Stone, Pacioretty, Marchessault, Smith, Theodore, Pietrangelo
Stream: Karlsson, Stephenson, Dadonov, Roy, Hague, Whitecould, Brossoit.
Obviously hold Eichel when he’s back. I’d hold Stephenson if he’s top six when everyone else is healthy, but not right now.
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
Hold: Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Backstrom, Oshie, Wilson, Carlson, Samsonov and Vanecek
Stream: Protas, Hathaway, Sheary, McMichael, Orlov, Schultz
WINNIPEG JETS
Hold: Scheifele, Wheeler, Dubois, Connor, Copp, Pionk, Morrissey
Stream: Stastny, Perfetti, Schmidt
Three Point Challenge: We’ll do it for Tuesday. Fungazi is up to 3 with a few of us at 1. You can’t take Ovechkin, McDavid, Draisaitl, Huberdeau, Kadri, Stamkos, Kaprizov, Rantanen, Meier, and Fox. Reminder that starting today, you can only select a player once every two weeks. I’ll go with Forsberg against the Kraken.
That’s all for now guys. I’ll be back Wednesday recapping the action for the next two nights. As always, feel free to ask any questions, leave any comments, or give any suggestions below. Thanks for reading, take care!
