Top 3 Waiver Wire Adds (under 50% rostered)
- Josh Bailey NYI, RW (13% rostered) — Bailey is now on the top Islanders line with Anders Lee and Mathew Barzal. He has points in the last three straight games.
- Joe Thornton Tor, C (39% rostered) — I said this a month ago and then Thornton got hurt but don’t relent, he’s on the top line with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.
- Jonathan Quick LAK, G (14% rostered) — The two time Vezina nominee and William M. Jennings winner is heating up. Back to back starts, one was a shutout, the other he allowed just two goals. He has three wins in his last five starts.
Top 3 players gone cold (over 50% rostered)
- Mikko Rantanen COL, C (99% rostered) — Rantanen will bounce back but as of Friday he has just one assist across his last four games and no goals across his last 15 shots.
- Matthew Tkachuk CLG, LW/RW (99% rostered) — Tkachuk has no points across his last four games, no goals across his last 18 shots and his hit total has lowered as of late.
- Anton Khudobin NYR, G (85% rostered) — Across his last four starts Khudobin has no wins, he’s allowed at least 3 goals in each matchup and his save percentage was above .900 in just one of the three games.
