Top 3 Waiver Wire Adds (under 50% rostered)
- Jean-Gabriel Pageau NYI, RW (41% owned) — The Islanders are playing next man up with one low rostered person excelling each week. Last week it was Josh Bailey, Anders Lee had some time and now Jean-Gabriel is lighting the lamp. He has six goals in his last seven games.
- Pavel Zacha NJ, C/LW (12% rostered) — Few were as optimistic as I was about Zacha through his first few NHL seasons but he came up well below expectations. Each year he goes through a stint where you see what he was made of and that’s going on now. Three goals and eight points across his last six games.
- Kaapo Kahkonen Min, G (42% rostered) — Four consecutive wins and Kahkonen allowed two goals or fewer in each game.
Top 3 players gone cold (over 50% rostered)
- Jack EIchel BUF, C (99% rostered) — Elchel has three assists in his last five games which isn’t bad but he can’t score. He has just two goals on the season and he hasn’t scored since January 28th. So much for my bold prediction on his scoring title.
- Gabriel Landeskog COL, C/LW (96% rostered) — Landeskog has been held pointless in his last four games.
- Joonas Korpisalo CLS, G (58% rostered) — Korpisalo has lost five straight games allowed 3 goals or more three times.
