Fantasy Hockey Forecaster: March 4th – March 10th

Welcome to this week’s Fantasy Hockey Forecaster! In here, you’ll find:

• Each team’s ranking for goalies, forwards, PK and PP against the other teams in the league. These stats are as of 2/21/2019.
• Three players who are on fire (this might not even be points wise, it might be an uptick in play that signals to me they are on the cusp of some point production
• Three players who are cooling off (this will also include players that aren’t materializing the way we expect)
• Three free agent pickups (among all players under 50% owned, preferably some in the single digits and some that are close to 50 to feed all different sizes of leagues)
• The schedule which will show each team they play and what the individual rankings are for each matchup, this is more useful in the daily leagues where you are looking at individual matchups

Let’s begin!

3 players who are on fire

1. Jonathan Huberdeau (87% owned ). 12 points in the last 10 days including five goals and four power play assists.

3 free agent pickups (under 50%)

1. Carl Soderberg (25% owned) Three goals and four assists over the last eight games as well as a plus five. He can be streaky so this might be short lived.
2. Mikael Backlund (31% owned). He is always a quiet producer four goals and four assists over the last seven games.
3. Mikko Koskinen (34% owned). Filling in now for Edmonton, he now has a 3-2 record allowing just 2.5 goals per game over this time.
