Fantasy managers looking to tinker with their rosters will benefit from zeroing in on specific categories. Whether you are looking for long-term fits or short-term options, there should be a plethora of potential pickups to help your squads.
Let's get into this week's suggestions for your consideration.
Emil Heineman, LW/RW, Islanders (39% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots/Hits
Heineman has been a pleasant surprise this season as a valuable top-six forward for the Islanders. He ranks second on the team with nine goals and has 13 points through 19 appearances. The 24-year-old forward has fit in nicely alongside Bo Horvat, who leads the team with 12 goals and 23 points. Heineman has also amassed 41 shots on net and 65 hits. The Islanders play four times this week.
Brock Nelson, C, Avalanche (35% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots/Blocks/Faceoffs
Nelson has notched four goals and six points in his past 10 appearances. He has been improving offensively, scoring two goals on seven shots and contributing two assists during his three-game point streak. He also has 31 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 11 hits through 19 contests this campaign. Nelson has been playing in all situations while occupying the second-line center spot. He also ranks second on the team with 177 faceoff wins and owns a 48.7 success rate on the draw. Colorado plays three times this week.
Jack Roslovic, C/RW, Oilers (35% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/PP
Roslovic was among the recommendations a week ago when he had a 16 percent roster share. He is back again because Edmonton plays four games this week, and the time to pick him up may be running out. He has amassed six goals and 13 points in his last 11 outings, including three tallies and three assists across a four-game point streak. Roslovic has been a productive part of the Oilers' top six, and he holds a place on the first power-play combination.
Anton Lundell, C, Panthers (32% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Blocks/Hits/Faceoffs
Lundell has been a consistent offensive contributor this campaign. He has gone consecutive games without a point on only one occasion while collecting four goals, 15 points, 33 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 16 hits through 18 outings. He also leads the Panthers with 175 faceoff victories and has a 53.9 winning percentage. Florida plays three times at home this week, giving Lundell plenty of opportunities to continue his versatile play as the team's top center.
Brandt Clarke, D, Kings (26% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Blocks/PP
Clarke has been hot and cold offensively this season, which was common for him in the 2024-25 campaign as well. He has two goals, seven points, 37 shots on target and 24 blocks through 19 contests this year. Clarke has logged more than 20 minutes of ice time in each of his last two games, and he should see an increase in usage after Drew Doughty sustained a lower-body injury in Saturday's 1-0 win over Ottawa. If Clarke lands a spot on the top power-play unit, it would also give him an offensive boost. However, the Kings often utilize five forwards in five-on-four situations. Still, Clarke is a solid pickup during a four-game week for Los Angeles.
Kevin Lankinen, G, Canucks (19% rostered) for Starts/Saves/Wins
Lankinen has been up and down this campaign, which is why his 4-5-2 record with a 3.44 goals-against average and an .890 save percentage doesn't jump off the page. However, he is coming off a 28-save effort in Sunday's 6-2 win over Tampa Bay. He will also get plenty of chances to improve upon his statistics as Vancouver's No. 1 puck-stopper due to the absence of Thatcher Demko, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury. The 30-year-old Lankinen performed well in that role during the 2024-25 campaign while Demko was unavailable. Vancouver plays three times this week.
Artyom Levshunov, D, Blackhawks (19% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Blocks/Hits/PP
Levshunov has heated up offensively following a sluggish start to the season. He has registered eight assists, including four on the power play, while adding 11 shots, 13 blocks and nine hits in his last nine appearances. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft has supplied superb multicategory coverage. He has tremendous value in keeper formats, and the 20-year-old blueliner is a great option for standard leagues going into a busy four-game week for Chicago.
Jesper Wallstedt, G, Wild (16% rostered) for Starts/Saves/Wins
Wallstedt is gaining momentum, winning his past three starts while stopping 89 of the 91 shots he has faced. He has shutout triumphs in each of his last two outings. The 23-year-old netminder has a 4-0-2 record with a 2.10 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage through six appearances this season. His fantasy value is limited as Filip Gustavsson's backup, but Wallstedt is playing himself into an increased role on a Minnesota team that has won six of its past 10 games. The Wild play three times this week.
Beckett Sennecke, RW, Ducks (8% rostered) for Goals/Assists/Shots/Hits
Sennecke has compiled three goals, seven points, 16 shots and seven hits in his last eight outings. He ranks third among all NHL rookies with 12 points through 18 appearances. The 19-year-old winger has 32 shots and 19 hits while averaging 16:29 of ice time per game in a top-six role. He has considerable future value and should make for a solid addition during a four-game week for Anaheim.
Mason Lohrei, D, Bruins (5% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Blocks
Lohrei has accumulated two goals, eight points, five shots, seven blocks and five hits in his last seven appearances. After being a healthy scratch for five straight games, he has reached the scoresheet in three of the past four matches. He has one marker, three helpers (two on the power play), two shots, four blocks and three hits during that span. Lohrei has the potential to offer decent category coverage during a four-game week for Boston.
