Your look at trends in fantasy hockey with goalie, power-play and droppable notes, with a focus on shots generated by top lines.
A number of promising pickups are on waiver wires in fantasy hockey leagues. Here are players to add this week.
I apologize – as a podcaster behind the Stanley25 podcast – for not being a bit more like David Reinbacher. Like our first-round pick in 2023, Jean Trudel and I have the unfortunate habit of disappearing for several weeks (or even months) between our happy and active segments.
Jonathan Drouin has been logging big minutes alongside Nathan MacKinnon, skating on the top line and the first power-play unit. He's also providing production in some key fantasy hockey categories.
The Colorado Avalanche are still feeling the impact of the Mikko Rantanen trade, losing their second straight since the deal went down.

The word “blockbuster” gets thrown around a little too often in today’s NHL, often for trades unworthy of the term, in the same way that anything might feel like a five-star meal to a starving man. But the deal that dropped on Friday night? That one deserves the title, no questions asked.
The Carolina Hurricanes executed a bombshell three-team trade on Friday evening, adding Colorado Avalanche right wing Mikko Rantanen and Chicago
Pierre-Luc Dubois, C/LW, WSH at CGY (40% rostered) McMichael went through a very long quiet stretch through December and he's yet to score a goal since Jan. 4, but over the past four games he's managed to rack up four assists.
Makar scored again to give Colorado a 3-2 lead at 14:36 of the period with the Avs on the power play. Necas reversed the puck from the right side of the ice to the left, then MacKinnon set up Makar at the top of the zone for his 18th goal of the season.
The Colorado Avalanche should add Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall to the top-six ahead of the March 7 NHL Trade Deadline.
