Fantasy Hockey Forecaster: November 8th - 14th

Welcome to my weekly Fantasy Hockey Forecaster! In here you’ll find:

• Top 3 waiver wire adds (among all players under 50% rostered at ESPN)
• Top 3 players who have gone “cold”
• Each team’s schedule ranking based on opponent’s points allowed, where the #1 ranked team plays teams allowing the most points so far this season.

Top 3 Waiver Wire Adds (under 50% rostered)

Arthur Kaliyev (RW, LA) 2% owned. He’s on the top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown. He now has three goals in his last four games and five points in his last eight games to go along with 3 PPP and 20 shots on goal.

Josh Anderson (RW, Mon) 32% owned. Josh has three goals and five points in his last six games (as well as three PPP). He is firing the puck (19 SOG over this time) and of course hits which he has 11 hits over this same time frame.

Eric Comrie (G, Chi) 13% owned. He’s a backup to the best goalie in the league who has a track record for making a ton of starts. This year feels different though, Comrie coming up on four starts in the last five and he’s making the most of his time with three wins, an average of 2 GAA and a save % above .935 in three of those four games.

Top 3 Players Gone Cold (over 50% rostered)

Roope Hintz (C, LW, Dall )75% owned. Roope has no points in his last five games and just one assist across his last 10 games. No goals across his last 26 shots.

Ivan Provorov (D, Phi) 77% owned. Provorov has just 2 assists this year. While he’s a +6, he has very few hits and no goals across 15 shots.

Vitek Vanecek (G, Chi) 63% owned. Vitek has a respectable GAA with 2.43 but no wins (just 2 across 7 starts). This is not what one would expect from a Washington goalie but he needs goal support.
