November 13 Fantasy Hockey Streamers: Lucas Raymond, Jalen Chatfield, Warren Foegele and More
Five NHL teams with good matchups on Wednesday and their players who are most involved in the action.
Let’s look at five teams with good matchups on Wednesday and the players on those teams who are most involved in the action. I try not to list injured players, but always check actives/inactives before game time to ensure everyone in your lineup is playing. All stats are from NHL.com.
Detroit Red Wings @ Pittsburgh Penguins
We’ll start with a double-target game: Pittsburgh is one of the best matchups in the league, allowing the third-most shots per game and second-most goals per game. The Red Wings give up a lot of shots (fifth most), but they are stingier with goals (19th).
