Fantasy Hockey Lookahead: Potential Streaming Options For This Week

Depending on your league settings, you’re either entering the last week of the regular season, or your fantasy playoffs are set to begin. 

Either way, it’s a crucial time of year for fantasy managers.

As important as this week is, it’s also somewhat unique. 

First off, it’s jam-packed with a whopping 55 games across the board, matching the season-high. 

It’s a very evenly balanced schedule as well. 

There are between five and nine games each day this week, meaning our rosters should have openings on any given day.

When it comes to streaming targets, 14 teams will play four times in Week 23, giving us plenty of options when it comes to streaming targets. 

On the flip side, just two teams play twice; the Nashville Predators and Washington Capitals. 

Adjust your rosters as needed.

Let’s look at the best schedules to target for Week 23.

New York Islanders

New York once again has a four-game week - its fourth straight – and the match-ups are extremely favourable.

They’ll begin with a home-and-home against the Columbus Blue Jackets and finish the week against the New Jersey Devils, with a tougher matchup against the Rangers on Friday. 

This season, the Jackets are giving up the third-most goals per game, while the Devils are giving up the fourth-most. 

We should see some high-scoring games.

Florida Panthers

The Panthers should feast off their competition this week. 

They get the Montreal Canadiens, Chicago Blackhawks, New Jersey Devils, and Buffalo Sabres. 

All four teams are in the top 10 in goals allowed per game, and only the Devils have a penalty kill above 80 per cent.

Florida is the highest-scoring team, so naturally, their players are popular in fantasy, but we can still find some value down the lineup.
