Fantasy Hockey: Risers & Fallers (Week 25)

RISERS

Chandler Stephenson, C/LW/RW, Vegas Golden Knights (OWNED: 56%)

With Vegas playing four times this week, the tri-eligible forward should be viewed as a no-brainer pick-up. Furthermore, he has one goal and five points over the past five contests. Take the plunge and see what happens.

David Perron, RW, Detroit Red Wings (OWNED: 53%)

Over the past eight games, the veteran winger has notched four goals and five assists for eight points playing predominantly on a line with the red-hot Dylan Larkin. From a fantasy perspective, Perron, who’s had an up and down first season in Motown, is heating up at the right time. Grab him!

Sean Durzi, D, Los Angeles Kings (OWNED: 37%)

If you’re looking for help on the blue line, Durzi’s definitely a guy to check out. In five outings since returning from an upper-body injury, the 24-year-old has tallied two goals and two assists for the red-hot Kings. In addition to seeing top-four minutes, Durzi’s been getting some time on PP2 as well. Take a flier.

Morgan Frost, C/LW, Philadelphia Flyers (OWNED: 12%)

The 23-year-old has tallied at least a point in seven of his past eight outings (five goals, six assists, 11 points). Additionally, the Flyers play four times this week, which means you should be grabbing Frost as soon as possible. He’s been on complete fire.

Cody Glass, C/RW, Nashville Predators (OWNED: 2%)

In addition to the fact that Glass has buried three goals in the past four contests, indisputably, Nashville’s busy four-game slate should profoundly tip you in favour of taking a flier here. In recent outings, Glass has been centering both the first power play unit and the first line for the banged-up Predators.

Devon Levi, G, Buffalo Sabres (OWNED: 2%)

In his NHL debut against the New York Rangers on Friday night, the Northeastern University standout made 31 stops as the Sabres pulled out a 3-2 victory. While it’s important to temper expectations with young goalies, it’s tough not to get excited by Levi. Buffalo has Florida, Detroit, and Carolina this week. Think about it.

FALLERS

Mats Zuccarello, RW, Minnesota Wild (OWNED: 83%)

In 11 games since Kirill Kaprizov went down, the Norwegian winger has gone ice cold tallying just two goals and six points. Now’s not the time for patience; cut bait.

Cam Talbot, G, Ottawa Senators (OWNED: 55%)

In three appearances since returning from a lower-body issue, the pending UFA has surrendered eight goals on 37 shots. On top of that, Ottawa’s disgustingly depleted on the back end right now, which won’t help Talbot’s numbers either. Stay far away.

New York Islanders/Washington Capitals/Winnipeg Jets

All three teams play just twice this week, so for those of you in standard non-keeper head-to-head leagues, don’t be afraid to cut bait on marquee names. Conversely, manipulate that schedule and target files from Colorado, Nashville, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Vegas. Those five teams will play four times this week.
