I preferred the acquisition of Mason Marchment by the Kraken in the summertime, however for no matter cause, it simply wasn’t understanding. They shipped him to Columbus, and Marchment appears just like the participant we’re used to from his time with Dallas. Marchment scored two energy play targets on Monday, placing 4 pictures on aim. He has three targets in two video games with Columbus now, and he’s gone proper onto the highest line with Fantilli and Marchenko. I don’t anticipate him to get to carry standing, however Marchment is an elite streamer whereas he’s on hearth. Let’s check out what else occurred during the last two nights. Additionally, apologies for not having my ordinary Monday submit, however I’m again house now and will likely be on my ordinary schedule going ahead.
Sunday’s Video games
Ethen Frank – Two targets on three pictures, each assisted by Dylan Strome. Frank has performed his method onto the deep league radar, however he’s solely a backside finish streamer for 12’ers.
Andrew Copp – Two assists with two pictures. Copp is on an okay run proper now, however he’s nonetheless in backside finish streamer vary. The shot fee may be very poor.
Emmitt Finnie – Two assists with a shot. Finnie continues to be on the highest line, however he isn’t doing a lot with it.
Mackenzie Blackwood – 28 saves on 29 pictures within the 5-1 win over the Wild. What a efficiency from the Avs to destroy the Wild in Minnesota whereas they had been on a heater. Blackwood has been improbable and has actually performed his method onto the Olympic group.
Brock Nelson – Objective and two assists with two pictures. Nelson has performed his method onto the perimeter with six targets in his final ten video games.
Cale Makar – Objective and two assists with seven pictures. He noticed the Wild get Hughes and needed to make a press release about who one of the best defenseman is.
Nathan MacKinnon – Two targets on 4 pictures. He’s already at 30 targets and 31 assists on the season with a +45 ranking. Simply insane stuff from MacKinnon.
Gabriel Landeskog – Two assists with 4 shtos and two PIM. Landeskog moved onto the highest line on this one, and performed over 20 minutes. Actual case for holding him once more.
Valeri Nichushkin – Two assists with three pictures. Val is on the perimeter, though I lean in direction of holding simply to have extra items of the Colorado wagon.
Kyle Connor – Two targets on six pictures, each assisted by Mark Scheifele. They willed the Jets right into a comeback for some extent, however instances are ugly for the Jets proper now. Fortunately, these two are delivering in fantasy.
Clayton Keller – Objective and an help with two pictures. The targets are going to maintain coming in for Keller as he’s due for main constructive regression.
Mikhail Sergachev – Two assists with two pictures. The taking pictures share has dropped which is strictly why he’s behind final season’s tempo. The assists are barely improved although.
Dylan Guenther – Two assists with three pictures. Very strong throughout the board for Guenther thus far.
Ryan O’Reilly – Two assists with a shot. Borderline shocked to see RoR with 30 factors on the season now. He has twelve factors in his final ten video games and even with a poor shot fee, RoR is on the perimeter.
Justus Annunen – 16 saves on 17 pictures within the 2-1 win over the Rangers. I’ve zero curiosity in streaming Annunen.
Juraj Slafkovsky – Two assists. Slaf has been a bit higher currently, however I nonetheless have him in strong streamer vary.
Oliver Kapanen – Objective and an help with seven pictures. Kapanen has been strong in his first full season, however lots of his success is buoyed by taking pictures share. Middling streamer for now.
Ivan Demidov – Objective and an help with two pictures. The shot fee should leap for Demidov to show right into a fantasy celebrity, however he’s nicely on his strategy to placing up a ton of factors.
Sidney Crosby – Objective and an help with two pictures. Crosby handed Lemieux for essentially the most factors in Penguins historical past. He’s already as much as 20 targets on the season. He by no means fails to amaze.
Rickard Rakell – Objective and an help with 4 pictures enjoying over 21 minutes. Rakell is on the perimeter with a lean in direction of holding.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen – 26 saves on 27 pictures within the 3-1 win over the Devils. Jack Hughes scored in his return, however UPL shut the door down after that. The upside is there, however for now, Lyon is the #1.
Jake Oettinger – 27 saves on 28 pictures within the 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs. The save share isn’t fairly elite, however all the pieces else is. He stays a high 5 goalie.
Jamie Benn – Objective and an help with 4 pictures. Admittedly, I didn’t see this recreation after the primary interval, however Benn performed underneath 10 minutes and I don’t see any harm information. Very unusual. He’s again within the backside six, so Benn is caught as a middling streamer.
Esa Lindell – Two assists enjoying over 25 minutes. Lindell is placing up a bunch of assists, and he’s a transparent maintain in blocks leagues. In any other case, I feel I depart him on the waiver wire.
Fabian Zetterlund – Two targets and an help with three pictures. He’s getting run with Stutzle and Tkachuk proper now, with Zetterlund having six factors within the final three video games. Stream him whereas he’s a scorching schmotato.
Drake Batherson – Objective and two assists. Batherson has been improbable this season.
Dylan Cozens – Objective and two assists with two pictures and twelve PIM. Cozens is an elite streamer with an argument for holding, however I nonetheless can’t get previous him getting caved at even power.
Claude Giroux – Objective and an help. Strong streamer at this level in his profession.
David Perron – Two assists with two pictures. Similar as Giroux, though I’ve a slight desire in direction of Giroux.
Charlie McAvoy – Objective and an help with 4 pictures. This was McAvoy’s first aim of the season, however the assists have been improbable.
Tomas Hertl – Objective and two assists with 5 pictures. With Eichel out, Hertl has been fairly good. The shot fee is up a ton currently, which places him on the perimeter.
Noah Hanifin – Three assists with 4 pictures. Hanifin hasn’t accomplished a lot in any respect total, however with Theodore out, he’s performed fairly nicely. For those who want quick time period assist, I don’t hate grabbing him.
Mitch Marner – Objective and an help with three pictures. Marner being beneath two pictures per recreation actually damages his total worth, even being over some extent per recreation.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins – Two targets and an help. The highest guys destroyed Vegas as Connor McDavid had 1+2, whereas Leon Draisaitl and Zach Hyman every had two factors. RNH is over some extent per recreation proper now and must be held in all places.
Monday’s Video games
Darren Raddysh – Objective and two assists. This would possibly sound insane, however Raddysh is a borderline high 10 defenseman now. He’s killing it in the mean time.
Nikita Kucherov – Two assists with a shot. Enterprise as ordinary for Kucherov.
Jake Guentzel – Two assists with a shot. I did assume Guentzel was going to seek out one other degree in Tampa in comparison with Pitt, however he’s doing the identical factor. That’s not an issue in any respect when your ordinary is 40+40.
Andrei Vasilevskiy – 23 saves on 24 pictures within the 4-1 win over the Blues. Excellent stuff from Vasilevskiy, which isn’t actually a shock, however good to see that two seasons in the past is the outlier.
Rodrigo Abols – Two assists with a shot. And there’s your annual Abols replace!
Nikita Grebenkin – Objective and an help with two pictures. He’s proven little or no thus far and is nowhere close to the fantasy radar.
Philipp Grubauer – 40 saves on 41 pictures within the 3-1 win over the Geese. Speak about stealing a recreation. Grubauer has shockingly bounced again with a .911 sv% on the season. I’m skeptical after 4 years of being dangerous, however Grubauer is value monitoring once more.
Jordan Eberle – Two targets. Good bounce again from Eberle thus far, however it solely will get him into middling to strong streamer vary.
Kappo Kakko – Two assists with two pictures. Kakko has been poor this season after a powerful begin in Seattle final season. For now, he’s solely a backside finish streamer.
Damon Severson – Two assists with three pictures and 4 PIM. Don’t even give it some thought at this level in Severson’s profession.
Jet Greaves – 23 saves on 24 pictures within the 3-1 win over the Kings. Greaves hasn’t been fairly pretty much as good as I hoped, however he’s nonetheless value holding in nearly all codecs.
Three Level Problem: We are going to do the problem for Tuesday’s video games as there’s an enormous slate earlier than the vacation break. You possibly can’t choose McDavid, MacKinnon, Celebrini, Draisaitl, Kucherov, Rantanen, Necas, Bedard, Robertson, Scheifele, Connor, Makar, or Boldy. Yay for a large tie for tenth in factors. I’ll go together with Marner in opposition to the Sharks.
That’s all for now guys. With no video games after Tuesday till Saturday, I’ll both have an replace maintain/stream checklist on Friday, or will likely be again on Monday with one. As at all times, be happy to ask any questions, depart any feedback, or give any strategies beneath. Thanks for studying, Merry Christmas and Blissful Holidays to everybody!
