Fantasy hockey Streamer Finder 2.0

The best available skaters and goalies for the nights you can actually use them. Choose your dates and open nights, and every pick shows why: games and off-nights, line and power-play role, matchup, schedule edge and, for goalies, the chance to start. Works for any league; connect your Fantrax, ESPN or Yahoo league to see only your free agents.

Score = projected fantasy points over the nights you can use, after every adjustment in the chips. Projections: LineupExperts standard rest-of-season, per game. Rostered % is the share of average fantasy leagues (across platforms) that roster the player; the list is capped at 80%.

How it works

  1. Start from LineupExperts' rest-of-season projection per game (fantasy points or a category), for players under your rostered-% limit.
  2. Count the nights in your window when the player's team plays. Off-nights (fewer than 10 NHL games) count in full; busy nights count at your busy-night weight because your regular roster fills those slots.
  3. Adjust each night for the opponent's fantasy points allowed to that position (LineupExperts defense vs position, capped at ±20%) and the Schedule Edge (half of the win-probability change carries into production).
  4. Adjust for deployment from the last three games of shift data: line 1 ×1.06, line 2 ×1.02, line 3 ×0.95, line 4 ×0.88, PP1 ×1.05. Recent Line Watch promotions and demotions show as chips.
  5. An Ascension chip flags skaters whose role and production are rising or falling over their last 5 games. It is context only and does not change the ranking.
  6. Goalies count each night by the start probability from our goalie start model, so a backup on a team with a back-to-back can beat a starter with one game.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to stream in fantasy hockey?

Pick up players who play on the nights you have an open lineup slot, ideally off-nights when few teams play, who are skating on a top line or PP1, and who face a defense that gives up points to their position. The Streamer Finder weighs all of those and shows each factor.

How is this different from the weekly streaming planner?

The streaming planner sorts by last season's per-game rates and off-nights, and lets you export a CSV. Streamer Finder 2.0 uses current projections and adds deployment (line and PP1 from the last three games, Line Watch promotions), opponent defense vs position, schedule edges and goalie start probability.

Can it show only players available in my league?

Yes, if you connect your Fantrax, ESPN or Yahoo league: pick "Available in" your league and players rostered there are hidden. Everyone else can use the rostered-percentage slider, which works for any platform.

How are streaming goalies ranked?

By expected starts, not games: each night counts by our start probability (with LineupExperts confirmations), times the goalie's projection per start, adjusted for the opponent and, for wins, the schedule edge.
