It’s a big NHL slate today: We have 11 games, which means close to 70% of the league is in action. That means a lot of available fantasy players, so streamers might not be as important as on light days.

It also gives us more streamers than on a usual day, though, and it’s always worth knowing who has the best matchups, even if just for future knowledge.

Let’s look at seven teams with good matchups on Saturday and the players on those teams who are most involved in the action. Not every player listed below will be available, but it’s good to compare usage across the same team.

I try not to list injured players, but always check actives/inactives before game time to be sure you have guys in your lineup who are actually playing. All stats are from NHL.com.

Boston Bruins @ Philadelphia Flyers

We can target both teams in this one, a fantasy owner’s dream. The Bruins have allowed the 10th-most shots per game and fifth-most goals per game. Philly has only given up the 27th-most shots, but they are sixth in goals allowed per game.

Montreal Canadiens @ Pittsburgh Penguins

If some is good, more is better. Both Montreal and Pittsburgh sit high on the streaming target list, each ranking in the top five in both shots allowed and goals allowed per game.
