Latest fantasy hockey news
- Connor Brown posts three points as Devils rout Capitals
Brown's goal and two assists pushed his averages sharply higher, but his weak underlying play suggests the finish may not hold.
- Cole Hutson's three-assist night lifts fantasy value; Jacob Fowler update
Hutson's three-point outing against New Jersey quadrupled his recent pace and signals second-unit power-play upside worth acting on.
- David Pastrnak posts two points in Bruins loss to Wild
Pastrnak had a goal, an assist and six shots on Saturday, a normal night that fits his role as a first-line, top-unit scorer in Boston.
- Devon Levi posts 19-save shutout in Oilers debut
Levi stopped all 19 shots he faced for Edmonton on Saturday, a clean sheet that suggests he can hold the crease after arriving from Buffalo.
- Blake Coleman scores one goal and two assists for Wild in blowout win
Coleman posted three points on two shots in 16:36 against the Bruins, but his underlying play grades suggest the line will not repeat.
- Mark Scheifele posts four points in Jets overtime win over Blackhawks
Scheifele's four-point night matches his usual elite production. He remains a locked-in weekly starter at center.
- Gabriel Vilardi posts two points in Jets overtime win
His underlying numbers suggest the scoring will not last, making this a good sell-high moment rather than a reason to chase him.
- Nikolaj Ehlers records three assists in Hurricanes win over Kraken
Ehlers set up three goals on two shots Saturday, a performance slightly above his recent averages worth holding but not chasing.
- Mark Jankowski scores twice as Hurricanes rout Kraken 5-1
Jankowski's two-goal outing Saturday delivered six times his recent scoring average and offers a streaming opportunity in deeper formats.
- Showtime - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups
Analyzing the best streaming options, schedule advantages, and advanced metrics in Week 8 of the Fantasy Hockey season.
- Brayden Schenn posts three points in Islanders win over Kings
Schenn's goal and two assists Thursday outpaced his recent averages, but weak underlying play limits the upside.
- Joel Hofer posts 29-save shutout in Blues overtime win
Hofer stopped all 29 shots he faced Thursday night. He carries an 86% start share and a 2.61 GAA into two more starts this week.
- Gabriel Vilardi posts three points in Jets rout of Stars
Vilardi's goal and two assists Thursday eclipsed his recent averages, but his underlying play grades out poorly for repeating nights like this.
- Frank Nazar scores twice in Blackhawks overtime win over Sabres
Nazar's two-goal night and season-high ice time suggest expanded opportunity, but his underlying numbers remain well below average.
- Kyle Connor posts three points in Jets blowout win over Stars
Connor's one goal and two assists delivered a normal outing for a player averaging 1.12 points per game in his recent sample.
- Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar both out with lower-body injuries
Colorado's top two scorers cannot play while sidelined, wiping out their three-game weeks and opening up power-play time for teammates.
- Carter Verhaeghe records three assists in Panthers win over Red Wings
Verhaeghe posted three helpers against Detroit on Thursday, but the line came without elevated shots or ice time. Treat it as a normal spike.
- Shane Pinto posts three points in overtime win for Senators
Pinto's two goals and an assist in 22:29 Thursday make him a streaming option with three games ahead this week.
- Brandon Hagel posts three points in Lightning win over Blue Jackets
Hagel's two-goal, one-assist night gives him 1.07 points per game in his recent averages, a rate already reflected in his fantasy value.
- Matt Boldy's hat trick fuels Wild win, but hold your value assessment
Boldy potted three goals and five shots Thursday in a 5-2 win over Toronto, a strong line for a player already averaging 1.02 points per game.
- Kirill Kaprizov records three assists in Wild win over Maple Leafs
His three-assist night matches the production already built into his 1.23 points per game, making this a strong but expected showing.
- Avalanche lose MacKinnon, Makar to lower-body injuries
Colorado's two best scorers are out, and three-game weeks for both drop to zero until they return.
- Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek exits with head injury, status day-to-day
Eriksson Ek left Thursday's game after a collision with Jake McCabe and cannot play while out, wiping his three-game week.
- Mitch Marner records three assists in Golden Knights win over Utah
The three-point night fits his recent averages, and his underlying play grades 60 out of 100 among forwards.
- Victor Olofsson posts three points with six shots against Utah
Olofsson's three points and six shots in 17:30 Wednesday far exceeded the averages from his Calgary days and signal streaming value.
- Zach Hyman scores twice in Oilers overtime win over Flyers
Hyman posted two goals and four shots in 15:50 against Philadelphia on Wednesday, matching his recent scoring averages with elite process grades.
- Nikita Kucherov scores hat trick, adds assist in Lightning win over Sabres
Kucherov put up three goals and one assist Wednesday, a normal monster night for a player already averaging 1.66 points per game.
- John Carlson records five points in Lightning rout of Sabres
Carlson's huge night came on one shot, making it an outlier rather than a sign of sustainable form.
- Aleksander Barkov, Brad Marchand could return to Florida within two weeks
Both remain on injured reserve with no firm activation date, so managers cannot use either player until Florida officially brings them back.
- Matvei Michkov has not formally requested trade from Flyers
Flyers say no formal request received; Michkov leads club with 10 goals through 20 games and remains a hold in fantasy lineups.
