Only the Flames are off completely over this three-day slate, featuring just a pair of games to start, a dozen Thursday, followed by a trio of contests to wrap up the work week. While the Oilers host the Blues Wednesday, the Rangers welcome Columbus to MSG. Managers with some streaming flexibility, in leagues that reward penalty minutes, might strongly consider hooking up with Matt Rempe. The New York rookie could go toe-to-toe once more with Mathieu Olivier (or whoever) after doing just that this past Sunday.

I like Arizona’s chances a little more in the latter matchup than the former.
