This week has a heavy schedule, with 24 teams playing four times. Only three teams play four times with two games on light days. These teams are the Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens, and Vancouver Canucks. These are the teams you should target to find your 2024 Week 8 fantasy hockey streamers.<\/p>\n<h2>Week 8 Fantasy Hockey Streamers<\/h2>\n<h3>Boston Bruins<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bruins have not started the season off great and have recently relieved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/montgji01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jim Montgomery<\/a> from his <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/11\/19\/boston-bruins-make-coaching-change\/\" target=\"_self\">head coaching duties<\/a>. A new coach bump may be coming, and with games on two of the lighter days this week, you can capitalize by adding Bruins as a 2024 Week 8 fantasy hockey stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/z\/zachapa01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pavel Zacha<\/a> has been bumped up to the <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/teams\/boston-bruins\/line-combinations\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first line<\/a> playing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/pastrda01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">David Pastrnak<\/a>. Averaging 18:40 TOI and 3:50 TOIPP, Zacha\u2019s deployment makes him a high upside add this week. Zacha had a career-high 59 points last season, and the Bruins will rely on him moving forward to be an offensive contributor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/coylech01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charlie Coyle<\/a> is also coming off a career-high in points and is a player the Bruins would like to see an increase in production from. Coyle has four goals and one assist in 21 games so far, well off his pace from last season. Four of those points have come on the man advantage. Coyle\u2019s decent shot, hit, and block rate along with his deployment at 17:33 average TOI and 2:49 average TOIPP make him a good streaming bet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Boston also has a back-to-back this week, so we should expect <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/korpijo01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Joonas Korpisalo<\/a> to get at least one start. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/swaymje01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeremy Swayman<\/a> is off to a rough start to the season at 5-7-2 since signing his <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/10\/06\/boston-bruins-goaltender-signs-new-deal\/\" target=\"_self\">new contract<\/a>. Korpisalo on the other hand is posting a .911 SV%. Two starts on a busy week could be a possibility for Korpisalo. If Korpisalo is getting the start on a day your goalie spots aren\u2019t full, pick him up for a stream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Montreal Canadiens<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leading the Montreal Canadiens streamer options this week is defenceman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/guhleka01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaiden Guhle<\/a>. Averaging over 21 minutes a game, Guhle has racked up solid peripheral numbers. In 14 games played, the 22-year-old has 40 blocks, 19 hits, and 18 SOG. With six points so far, he can also contribute with goals and assists. His rounded game makes him a good stream this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/dachki01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kirby Dach<\/a> is another Hab who should be considered for a stream for Week 8. Dach has had some hot and cold spells this season, but most recently has three points in his last four games. His peripheral numbers are solid, registering 39 hits and 35 SOG in 19 games so far this season. At a 2.9 S%, Dach\u2019s efficiency should increase, as his <a  href=\"https:\/\/frozenpool.dobbersports.com\/players\/kirby-dach\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">xGF\/60<\/a> is the highest in his career<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Along with top line and top powerplay <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/teams\/montreal-canadiens\/line-combinations\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deployment<\/a>, Dach makes for a good upside stream this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Vancouver Canucks<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/s\/sherwki01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kiefer Sherwood<\/a> has been an incredible fantasy hockey asset in banger and category leagues this season. Providing one of the safest floors in fantasy hockey right now, even if Sherwood does not put up a point, he can get you five to ten hits on any given night. As a bonus, he has five goals and ten points in 18 games, and has a massive 115-hit count. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/millejt01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">J.T. Miller<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/2024\/11\/19\/vancouver-canucks-j-t-miller-leave\/\" target=\"_self\">out of the lineup<\/a> for the time being, Sherwood is set to receive a bump in <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/teams\/vancouver-canucks\/line-combinations\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deployment<\/a> with time on the first line<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. At 41% rostered on <a  href=\"http:\/\/www.fantrax.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fantrax<\/a>, he is available in most leagues and should be picked up for Week 8.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Kiefer Sherwood&#8217;s ability to pull off small skill moves like this is why he&#8217;s such a versatile player. Can hammer people with hits but also has some soft hands. <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gUgBX81dDq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/gUgBX81dDq<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Wyatt Arndt (@TheStanchion) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheStanchion\/status\/1858353654903808298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/garlaco01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Conor Garland<\/a> is another Vancouver player who should be added for Week 8. Already seeing good deployment with 19:05 TOI per game and 3:30 TOIPP on average, these numbers could increase with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/m\/millejt01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">J.T. Miller<\/a>\u2019s absence. Garland is also on a small point streak, with a point in each of his last three games. As a streamer this week, riding Garland while he\u2019s hot could lead to some fantasy success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need defencemen on a light night this week, look to add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/h\/hronefi01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=lastwordonsports.com&amp;utm_campaign=2024-11-22_hr\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Filip Hronek<\/a>. He can provide around a shot and a block per game, with around two hits. There is an upside for more here, as Hronek is shooting at a <a  href=\"https:\/\/frozenpool.dobbersports.com\/players\/filip-hronek\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">career-low rate<\/a>, which may regress to the mean<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
