Week Long Streaming Options

Finding a few streaming options in this week 5 schedule should be fairly easy. Let’s take a look at a few good options that could be available in your leagues!

Barrett Hayton, Arizona Coyotes

  • 1% ownership in Yahoo
  • 1.9% ownership in ESPN
  • 31% ownership in Fantrax

The Arizona rookie has 3 points in his last 4 games and is currently on the top line. Even though Barrett Hayton isn’t seeing any power play time yet, getting playing time alongside Phil Kessel will only help. At the very least put him on your watch list.

Ryan Strome, New York Rangers

  • 30% ownership in Yahoo
  • 13.9% ownership in ESPN
  • 47% ownership in Fantrax

What more is there to say? 8 points in his last 5 games, Ryan Strome has taken over the top line center role with Mika Zibanejad out. His value is somewhat linked to that role, but you should be rostering him while he has Artemi Panarin on his line.

Ilya Mikheyev, Toronto Maple Leafs

  • 23% ownership in Yahoo
  • 40.3% ownership in ESPN
  • 60% ownership in Fantrax

Ilya Mikheyev has been discussed before, but some people haven’t jumped on him yet. Riding 4 points in his last 4 games, Mikheyev has a nice schedule in week 5. Home games against Los Angeles and Philadelphia have the potential be high scoring games.

Danton Heinen, Boston Bruins

  • 1% ownership in Yahoo
  • 3.5% ownership in ESPN
  • 15% ownership in Fantrax

Currently on the second line with Jake DeBrusk and David Krejci, Danton Heinen is rocking 4 points in his last 4 games. Playing against a couple softer matchups this week, Heinen could be a nice stash for the week 5.

Oskar Lindblom, Philadelphia Flyers

  • 8% ownership in Yahoo
  • 17.8% ownership in ESPN
  • 36% ownership in Fantrax

Lining up with one of the better second lines in hockey, Oskar Lindblom has seen a nice boost in production. Putting up 4 points in 3 games, Lindblom has seen his role expand to include some second power play time as well. Finding the right hot streak to ride is always tough, but Lindblom doesn’t look to be slowing down.

There you go! A few options I like as week long streamers. There are solid options from almost every team, feel free to reach out with any other options you find.

I’m not actively looking to add anyone from the 2 game teams for the week, but keep an eye out for Anaheim and Dallas in my Sunday Streamers article later this week.

As always, you can discuss this article on the Overtime Heroics Forums.
