Darcy Kuemper has won 10 straight at home, matching the longest streak in Avalanche/Quebec Nordiques history (Jonathan Bernier in 2016-17).
  • Steven Stamkos recorded his 12th career 20-goal season, now tied with Vincent Lecavilier for most in Tampa Bay history. 

  • According to Golden Knights head coach Pete DeBoer: Mark Stone – remains in COVID protocol, did not travel; Zach Whitecloud – with the team, DTD; Alec Martinez – skated Sunday, DTD; Max Pacioretty – will skate on his own Sunday, may play at some point on this trip.

  • Mackenzie Blackwood is apparently DTD but will backup for the Devils on Sunday
  • Kevin Lankinen was placed on IR by the Chicago Blackhawks after sustaining a wrist injury. Will miss approximately 3 weeks.

Ask The Hacks

  • Is it worth dropping Rodrigues for Batherson or Norris? Being that Ottawa had so many games PPD. Or pick up Barbashev, Zuccarello instead? (@55Boudr on Twitter).
  • If you were drafting today in a fun league, would you mostly draft players from teams who have more games remaining? A mix? Or the best players still available? OTT 37 games. FLA 30 games. Do you take Matthews (TOR 36 games) or MacKinnon (COL 32 games) in the first round?
  • So I have Ehlers, Nugent-Hopkins, Eichel, Palat, And Hovart out –  Which of these do you drop?
  • Is it time to pick up Tyler Seguin? 
  • Do you think Ville Husso takes the starting gig in St. Louis? He’s outplaying Binnington by a mile!
  • Is  Vitek Vanecek taking over the starting gig in Washington? Would you pick up Vanecek or Varlamov for the rest of the season?

Edge Work | NHL Schedule, Week 16

It’s going to be another busy week in the NHL with 53 total games on the slate, and no less than 5 games played on any single day. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are technically “light” days with fewer than 50% of the teams playing. If you’re looking to maximize games played for your roster next week there are 4 teams that play all of their games on light days – Boston, Chicago, Colorado, and Dallas. Additionally, New York, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, and Washington play 3 games on light days. 

  • Monday – 7 Game
  • Tuesday – 8 Games
  • Wednesday – 5 Games
  • Thursday – 10 Games
  • Friday – 5 Games
  • Saturday – 11 Games
  • Sunday – 7 Game
Teams With 4 Games: 
Team Of Interest | Pittsburgh Penguins (Strength of Schedule: -25) 
  • The Pittsburgh Penguins have the 4th best points percentage (.818%) over the past month with a record of 9-2-0. With a win on Sunday versus Winnipeg, Pittsburgh has now won 7 straight home games. Special teams have been clicking as well – the PP is ranked 14th (22.2%), and the PK is 12th (84.2%). Pittsburgh has a great schedule for next week with matchups against Arizona, Seattle, Detroit, and Los Angeles. The Pens crushed Seattle 6-1 on December 6th – Guentzel and Heinen both had 3 point games, while Carter, Zucker, and Rodrigues chipped in with 2 points each. The Kings recently beat Pittsburgh by an ugly score of 6-2, and should prove to be the toughest opponent that the Penguins face next week. Players To Consider: Kasperi Kapanen (20%), Jeff Carter (44%), Jason Zucker (8%), Evan Rodrigues (59%), Danton Heinen (3%), John Marino (3%). 
Team Of Interest | Carolina Hurricanes (Strength of Schedule: -15) 
  • The Carolina Hurricanes have been the 8th best team in terms of points percentage over the last month with a record of 6-2-1. However, the team is ranked 2nd in GF/GP (4.56) and the special teams have been absolutely dominant – PP is ranked 1st (41.7%) and the PK is ranked 4th (87.1%). The Canes took down the Vegas Golden Knights on November 16th by a score of 4-2. Martin Necas, Vincent Trocheck, and Seth Jarvis all contributed offensively in the matchup. The Canes lost to Ottawa 3-2 on December 2nd, but Slavin and Jarvis were contributors in that game and are widely available. Carolina also lost the first games of the season series against New Jersey (7-4) and San Jose (2-1), but there has been offensive upside from a fantasy perspective. Players To Consider: Martin Necas (52%), Seth Jarvis (4%), Vincent Trocheck (69%), Nino Niederreiter (21%), Jesperi Kotkaniemi (5%), Jacob Slavin (56%), Brady Skjei (22%).
Team Of Interest | Colorado Avalanche (Strength of Schedule: -12) 
  • The Colorado Avalanche have the best points percentage (.958%) in the league over the past month, and with 2 matchups against Chicago, 1 against Buffalo, and 1 against Boston – the Avs offer plenty of offensive upside to help you win your upcoming matchup. The Avs have outscored the Blackhawks in 2 games this season by a combined score of 8-5; and they received lots of secondary scoring help along the way. Do not hesitate to pick up some of the support players from the Avs for next week. Players To Consider: Andre Burakovsky (76%), Valeri Nichushkin (20%), Logan O’Connor (5%), Alex Newhook (3%), J.T. Compher (6%), Sam Girard (62%), Erik Johnson (52%), Pavel Francouz (42%).
Teams With 3 Games: 
Team Of Interest | Minnesota Wild (Strength of Schedule: +7) 
  • Since December 23rd the Minnesota Wild have only played 7 games, but they hold a 5-1-1 record – 5th in points percentage league wide at.786. They have been scoring 4.00 GF/GP (tied for 5th) while only allowing 2.86 (8th); however, special teams have been underwhelming – 18.2% PP (21st), 72.7% PK (26th). The Wild’s schedule is fairly neutral for next week, however, a matchup with Montreal (1-4-4 last month) has to be penciled in as a win; and Minny took game 1 of the season series against the Islanders by a score of 5-2 on November 7th. With Cam Talbot out, Kahkonen has provided excellent goaltending (5-0-1, 2.19 GAA, .938 SV%) and he is still available in 50% of leagues! Players To Consider: Mats Zuccarello (59%), Jordan Greenway (4%), Joel Eriksson Ek (52%), Marcus Foligno (60%), Matthew Boldy (5%), Kevin Fiala (71%), Alex Goligoski (29%), Kaapo Kähkönen (50%). 
Teams With 2 Games: 
Team Of Interest | Nashville Predators (Strength of Schedule: -24) 

The Preds are 7-4-2 over the last month, good enough for 7th overall in total points. Special teams have been good as well – the PP is 12th overall (25.6%) and the PK is 7th (86.3%). The team is scoring 3.46 GF/GP (12th) while only allowing 2.92 GF/GP (10th); and they were tied for 5th in total goals for with 45. Also of note, the Predators led the league in hits over the past month with 452! The next closest team in that category was the Rangers at 341.👀 Looking at Nashville’s matchups for next week, the Preds will be on the road against Seattle and Edmonton, giving Nashville one of the most favourable schedules according to Left Wing Lock’s schedule tool. In their first matchup of the season series, Nashville actually lost to the Kraken 4-3, but Seattle is reeling right now at 2-7-1 in the past month.Tolvanen, Kunin, Granlund, and Carrier chipped in during that first matchup against Seattle. The Preds lost to the Oilers on November 3rd by a score of 5-2, but the Oilers have also been struggling over the past month. Duchene, Johansen and Kunin chipped in offensively in the series opener against the Oilers.  Players To Consider: Tanner Jeannot (53%), Mikael Granlund (53%), Ryan Johansen (40%), Eeli Tolvanen (16%), Alex Carrier (2%).

Edge Work | NHL Week 16 Waiver Wire Targets

Waiver wire targets will be focused on players with ownership ~50% or less. 

Top Waiver Wire Targets

📈 Tyler Toffoli (LW/RW), MTL | Rostered: 41% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (@MIN, Vs.ANA, Vs.EDM, Vs.CBJ) | Line: 2 (w/ Suzuki & Evans, PP1) 
  • Like the Canadiens, Tyler Toffoli started the season slow, posting just 9 points (3 goals) in his first 20 games. However, over his last 10 games Toffoli has produced 12 points (4 goals) playing on the top line (and top PP) with Nick Suzuki and Jake Evans.  Still on-pace for 59 points, Toffoli is also seeing a career-best 55% PP share, his iSH% (10%) is below his 3-year average (13.7%), and his tEVSH% of 6.1% all suggest we could see further production from the former Canuck. Still available in nearly 60% of leagues. 
📈 Ryan Johansen (C), NSH | Rostered: 40% (Yahoo) | GP: 2 (@SEA, @EDM) | Line: (w/ Tolvanen & Kunin, PP1) 
  • The Predators are currently 12th in point % with 53 points, averaging 3.07 GF/GM; and Ryan Johansen has been a big reason why. The former Blue Jacket is enjoying his best offensive season since 2018-2019 when he posted 64 points (14 goals) in 82 games. This season Johansen is on-pace for 69 points and will challenge his career-high of 26 goals. Note, Johansen’s iSH% (19.7%) is well above his 3-year average of 14.4%, and his tEVSH% (10.9%) suggests he has benefited from some luck. Secondary assist rate is also high at 0.90. 
📈 Ivan Barbashev (C/LW/RW), STL | Rostered: 69% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (@CGY, Vs.CGY, Vs.WPG) | Line: 1 (w/ O’Reilly & Schenn, PP2) 
  • Tri-eligibility is rare to find these days, particularly with a player that is 22nd in league scoring since December 1st (20 Pts, 7 goals, in 16 games played). Barbashev posted a 4 point (2 goals) game against the Nashville Predators on Monday, and has scored 13 points (5 goals) in his last 10 games played. Note, Barbashev’s iSH% (23.1%) is not sustainable, and his tEVSH% (11.5%) is above league average. The Blues power play is currently 2nd in the league at 29.5%, and the team is 9th in points % league-wide. Still available in ~30% of standard Yahoo leagues. Also: Brayden Schenn (55%). 
📈 Brock Nelson (C), NYI | Rostered: 16% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (Vs.PHI, Vs.LAK, Vs.SEA, Vs.MIN) | Line: 2 (w/ Bellows & Beauvillier, PP1) 
  • 6 points (4 goals) in his last 9 games played, as of Saturday evening. Time on the first power play unit, and top 6 for the Islanders. The Islanders have games in hand, and Nelson could be a nice volume option moving forward. Currently on-pace for 39 goals, but his iSH% (22.8%) will certainly regress. If Nelson settles in around his 3-year average (14.5%), we could still see somewhere between 27 and 30 goals for the season. Great goal production for a player just 16% rostered. 
📈 Viktor Arvidsson (LW/RW), LAK | Rostered: 42% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (@NYR, @NYI, @PHI, @PIT) | Line: 2 (w/ Danault & Moore, PP1) 
  • The former Pred is having his best season since 2018-2019 when he posted 34 goals in 54 games. Similar to that season, Arvidsson is taking 3.4 SOG/GM; but unlike that season, Arvidsson’s iSH% (7.7%) is well below his career average of 11%, putting him on-pace for a more moderate 22 goals. Arvidsson’s secondary assist rate (0.65) is higher than expected, but no other red flags to be aware of.  
📈 Alex Tuch (LW/RW), BUF | Rostered: 26% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (@OTT, @ARI, @COL) | Line: (w/ Skinner & Cozens, PP1) 
  • The former Vegas Golden Knight has fit in nicely with the Buffalo Sabres, posting 10 points (3 goals) in 9 games played this season. Most recently he has been playing on the top line (and PP1) with Dylan Cozens and Jeff Skinner. Tuch’s iSH% (17.6%) is well above his 3-year average (11.3%), and so is his tEVSH% (14.2%). However, Tuch is also seeing a career-high 57% PP share and 18:51 ATOI – significantly more than the 15 or 16 minutes he saw in Vegas. Obviously Buffalo is not a great team, but Tuch’s low-ownership is almost criminal at this point. 
📈 Alex Goligoski (D), MIN | Rostered: 30% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (Vs.MTL, @NYR, @NYI) | Pair: 2 (w/ Kulikov) 
  • Alex Goligoski is in the midst of a fantastic season, posting 23 points (3 goals) in 32 games played – on-pace for 59 points over 82 games. However, there are some red flags to consider – his iSH% (7.7%) is inflated relative to his 3-year average of 4.7%; and his tEVSH% (12.5%) is well above the league average of 8.5%.
📈 Esa Lindell (D), DAL | Rostered: 19% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (@PHI, @NJD, Vs.WSH, Vs.BOS) | Pair: 1 (w/ Klingberg) 
  • Esa Lindell’s overall point totals are underwhelming; however, he has posted 6 points (3 goals) in his last 10 games played, and with the Klingberg trade rumours circling, Lindell could prove to be a valuable add to the bottom end of your roster for the remainder of the season. Underlying metrics suggest there is room for positive regression, and he contributes to hits and blocks (also plays big minutes).  
📈 Josh Morrissey (D), WPG | Rostered: 47% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (FLA, VAN, @STL) | Pair: 1 (w/ DeMelo) 
  • Josh Morrissey has posted 7 points (1 goal) in his last 10 games, and has played over 25 minutes in his last 2. Contributes to hits, blocks, and SOG and is seeing time on the top pairing with DeMelo. Morrissey’s iSH% (6.5%) is slightly elevated, but there are no other concerns regarding his underlying metrics.
📈 Mike Matheson (D), PIT | Rostered: 5% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (Vs.ARI, Vs.SEA, Vs.DET, Vs.LAK) | Pair: 3 (w/ Ruhwedel) 
  • Mike Matheson has produced 6 points (3 goals) in his last 3 games played, and 11 points in his last 15 games. Matheson’s iSH% (9.5%) and IPP are slightly inflated, but no other significant red flags. A short-term streamer at best given his deployment and ice time, but still worth a look while he is producing – particularly in deep leagues. 
📈 Evan Bouchard (D), EDM | Rostered: 39% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (@VAN, Vs.NSH, @MTL) | Pair: 1 (w/ Nurse) 
  • With 2 PPG on Saturday versus the Calgary Flames, Evan Bouchard is on-pace for 47 points. Despite receiving minimal power play time for the majority of the season, and seeing ice-time as low 12:38 (January 15th), Bouchard has managed to stay productive offensively with 21 points (8 goals) in 37 games played. Tyson Barrie is currently injured, which has opened the door for Bouchard to see time on PP1 (2:59, 70% PP share Saturday night); and on the top pairing with Darnell Nurse. Fantasy hockey managers everywhere are hoping that deployment sticks for Bouchard; and if it does, he will be one of the more valuable waiver wire pick ups for the remainder of the season. 
📈 Vitek Vanecek (G), WSH | Rostered: 55% (Yahoo) | GP: 3 (Vs.VGK, Vs.SJS, @DAL) | Role: Tandem (43% Net Share)
  • Vitek Vanecek has now started 7 of the last 8 games for the Washington Capitals; and with a 3-2 win on Saturday night, you have to wonder if he has snatched the starting gig from Samsonov in Washington. Vanecek has posted a 2.61 GAA and .911 SV% over those 7 games; and given the overall performance of the Washington Capitals to date, he appears to be a very appealing option moving forward. Note, Vanecek’s PKSV% (.845) suggests there is potential for further positive regression. 
📈 Sam Montembeault (G), MTL | Rostered: 33% (Yahoo) | GP: 4 (@SJS, Vs.TB, Vs.COL, @NJD) | Role: Tandem (27% Net Share)
  • Jake Allen is on the shelf for 8 weeks with a lower-body injury, and the Montreal Canadiens are going to rely on Montembeault to shoulder the load moving forward. Montembeault over his last 5 appearances has posted just 1 win, but a 3.17 GAA, .926 SV%, and 2.57 GSAA. Proceed with caution, and play based on matchups. 
📈 Petr Mrazek (G), TOR | Rostered: 38% (Yahoo) | GP: 2 (Vs.ANA, @DET) | Role: Backup (13% Net Share)
  • In his last 8 GP, Jack Campbell has posted a 3.11 GAA, .900 SV%, and -2.83 GSAA. Mrazek made 27 saves Saturday night, along with a 1.00 GAA, .964 SV% and a 1.49 GSAA. With the Leafs facing a condensed schedule over the next number of weeks, Mrazek should see more playing time and could provide value down the stretch.  

Also: Ville Husso (29%), Adin Hill (35%), Pavel Francouz (42%), Kaapo Kähkönen (50%).
