π¨ WEEK 5 NHL FANTASY STREAMERS ARE HERE! π¨
Week 5 of the NHL Fantasy Hockey season is underway, and it's time to maximize your games played and find the best waiver-wire pickups to win your matchup!
Brock Seguin breaks down the Week 5 strength of schedule, with a major focus on the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers β the only two teams with three light-night games this week!
Plus, Beebs Bondy joins the show to break down everything we learned in Week 4, including breakout players, changing goalie situations, major injuries and fantasy hockey trends you need to know.
π₯ EDMONTON OILERS β FANTASY STREAMING TARGETS
π Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Back in the lineup and still playing on Edmonton's top power-play unit, Nugent-Hopkins could be an excellent pickup if he's somehow available in your league.
β‘ Kasperi Kapanen: Skating in Edmonton's top six, Kapanen offers a deeper-league streaming option with three light-night games and the potential to benefit from the Oilers' explosive offense.
π₯ CALGARY FLAMES β THE TEAM TO TARGET
Calgary has one of the most fantasy-friendly schedules over the next TWO weeks, with seven light-night games and several intriguing waiver-wire options.
π― Joel Farabee: Riding a four-game point streak with six points over that stretch, Farabee is emerging as one of Calgary's most valuable fantasy forwards.
π Matt Coronato: Another four-game point streak, strong shot volume and power-play production make Coronato an excellent streaming target.
π Morgan Frost: His underlying offensive numbers suggest serious upside, although inconsistent ice time makes him a riskier option.
πͺ Mikael Backlund: If healthy, Backlund's heavy minutes and impressive shot volume could make him one of Calgary's best streaming options.
π₯ Martin Pospisil & Adam Klapka: Two physical forwards worth considering in deeper banger leagues where hits are rewarded.
π₯ DEVIN COOLEY β A GOALIE TO ADD NOW?
With injuries creating chaos across NHL goaltending, Devin Cooley is emerging as a potential waiver-wire steal!
After stopping 100 of his last 104 shots, could Cooley be taking control of Calgary's crease?
Brock explains why Cooley could be a valuable fantasy pickup, especially with Calgary's favourable schedule approaching.
π₯ WHAT WE LEARNED IN WEEK 4!
Beebs Bondy returns to break down the biggest fantasy hockey developments from the past seven days!
β‘ Charles-Γdouard D'Astous: Is Tampa Bay developing another surprise fantasy breakout on its top power-play unit?
π₯ Devin Cooley: Calgary's red-hot goaltender is turning heads and rewarding fantasy managers who took a chance on him.
π Connor McDavid & Leon Draisaitl: Edmonton's superstars continue to dominate, while Auston Matthews and William Nylander are producing big fantasy numbers in Toronto.
π΅ Jacob Fowler: Is it officially Fowler Hour in Montreal? The young goaltender continues to impress.
π Arseny Gritsyuk: Playing alongside Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt, Gritsyuk is quickly becoming a must-watch fantasy breakout candidate.
π¨ Connor Hellebuyck: His move to New Jersey creates major implications for fantasy managers and the Devils' goaltending situation.
π₯ INJURY TROUBLE CONTINUES: Nick Suzuki, Bryan Rust, Jared McCann and several key goaltenders headline another difficult week for fantasy managers.
π STRUGGLING STARS: Timo Meier, Sam Bennett and other big-name players disappointed in Week 4. Should fantasy managers panic or look to buy low?
