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.
Gabriel Landeskog, LW, Avalanche (29% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits/PP
Following a sluggish start to the season, Landeskog has rediscovered his offensive touch. He didn't find the back of the net in his first 16 appearances, but he has registered five goals on 24 shots and eight points over his last nine outings. The Avalanche captain currently is skating on Colorado's second line and works on the top power-play unit, which grants him valuable exposure to Nathan MacKinnon. The 33-year-old Landeskog has earned both of his power-play points (one goal, one assist) in the past three games. He also has 46 shots on target and 36 hits through 25 contests this campaign. Landeskog should be rostered in more leagues, especially ahead of a four-game week for the Avalanche.
Beckett Sennecke, RW, Ducks (27% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots
Fantasy managers are finally taking notice of Sennecke's emergence, and his stock is rising. He has collected one goal and six assists across a seven-game point streak. He has added 12 shots, four hits and three blocks over that span. He is tied for the lead among rookies with 19 points through 25 games. Sennecke also ranks fifth on the Ducks with 12 helpers. A significantly improved offense has driven Anaheim's turnaround this season, and Sennecke has played a key role in that as part of the top six. He has short- and long-term value ahead of a four-game week for the Ducks.
Mats Zuccarello, RW, Wild (26% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/PP
Zuccarello has compiled 10 points, including nine assists, in 11 games this season. He is all over the scoresheet after missing the first 15 contests due to a lower-body injury. He has been setting up Kirill Kaprizov with regularity while skating on Minnesota's top line and first power-play unit. The 38-year-old Zuccarello has two power-play assists, but his production with the man advantage should improve. Since the 2021-22 season, he ranks second on the Wild with 108 power-play points. Minnesota plays three times on the road this week.
Carter Hart, G, Golden Knights (23% rostered) for Starts/Saves/Wins
Hart had an up-and-down tenure between the pipes with Philadelphia and hasn't played in the NHL since the 2023-24 campaign. His play also didn't exactly stand out during his minor-league conditioning stint, where he went 1-2-0 with a 3.07 goals-against average and an .839 save percentage. Still, he will find himself in a great situation to succeed. The Golden Knights have surrendered the third-fewest shots against per game (24.8). Hart should face his fair share of rubber, and the team has more than enough offensive talent at forward to provide him with victories. It's still unclear when he will play, and there will be competition in the crease, especially when Adin Hill returns from a lower-body injury. However, Hart still has considerable potential if he works in a timeshare or if he secures the No. 1 job with Vegas.
Olen Zellweger, D, Ducks (22% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots/Blocks
Zellweger had only two assists in 12 appearances to begin the 2025-26 season, but he has found the scoresheet more lately. He has provided five goals and eight points in his last 13 outings, including three tallies on 10 shots and one assist during his four-game point streak. The 22-year-old blueliner is also up to 28 blocks over 25 contests. He is a worthy addition because of his hot play during a busy week for the Ducks.
Pavel Buchnevich, C/LW/RW, Blues (21% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits/Blocks
Buchnevich has been hot and cold this season, starting the year with two goals and six points in eight games before chipping just one assist in his next 13 contests. However, he has one goal, three helpers, five shots and five blocks in the past five matches. He topped 60 points in consecutive campaigns before recording 57 over 76 in 2024-25. Buchnevich has plenty of work to do to return to that pace, but he makes for an intriguing roster choice ahead of a four-game week for St. Louis.
Zachary Bolduc, LW/RW, Canadiens (18% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits
Bolduc heated up at the end of November, collecting two goals, four assists, eight shots and eight hits in five games to finish the month. He also has one goal and one helper with the man advantage during that span. His offensive upside received a significant boost after he was moved up to Montreal's top line alongside Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield. The 22-year-old Bolduc is also skating on the first power-play combination. He should offer solid production, notably in deeper leagues, during a four-game week for the Canadiens.
Andre Burakovsky, LW/RW, Blackhawks (17% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots
Burakovsky is trending toward his best offensive performance. He has seven goals and 17 points through 20 games, putting him on track for a 66-point season. Burakovsky's previous best came in the 2021-22 regular season when he amassed 61 points for Colorado. He has been clicking with Connor Bedard, who is currently tied for the second-most points in the league, this campaign. The 30-year-old Burakovsky possesses a great deal of offensive upside this year. Chicago plays four times on the road this week.
Brandon Bussi, G, Hurricanes (16% rostered) for Starts/Saves/Wins
Bussi made his second straight start for the Hurricanes in a matchup against Calgary on Sunday, and he responded with a 15-save performance for his first NHL shutout. He has a 7-1-0 record with a 2.11 GAA and a .907 save percentage through eight outings. Between Pyotr Kochetkov's injury woes and Frederik Andersen's struggles, Bussi's seven victories lead the team. The 27-year-old Bussi has won his last five starts, and he is pushing for more playing time. Carolina's crease situation will become crowded once Kochetkov returns, but it's unclear when he will be ready, and the club likely won't rush him back. As a result, Bussi makes for a solid depth option going into a three-game week for the Hurricanes.
Luke Evangelista, RW, Predators (2% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/PP
Evangelista has compiled two goals, five assists and 10 shots during his four-game point streak. He has been playing on the top line with Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly while keeping pace with both of them offensively. Evangelista ranks first on the team with 13 assists and has the second-most points (17) and power-play points (five) on the Predators. He has some under-the-radar upside during a three-game week for Nashville.
