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.
Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! Let's get into this week's suggestions for your consideration.
Patrick Kane, RW, Red Wings (38% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/PP
Kane has recorded one goal, five assists (three on the power play) and 16 shots on net in his last six contests. Despite being limited to 13 appearances, he has 11 points and ranks fourth on Detroit with six power-play points. Kane is only five goals away from reaching 500 in his career, and he finished one point shy of the 60-point plateau in 2024-25. The 37-year-old veteran possesses plenty of offensive potential ahead of a four-game week for the Red Wings and for the remainder of the campaign.
Jake DeBrusk, LW/RW, Canucks (33% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots/PP
DeBrusk has heated up offensively in November following a sluggish start to his tenure in Vancouver. He has registered six goals, including five on the power play, on 31 shots while chipping in two assists and nine hits in his last 10 outings. He has two markers and two helpers over his four-game point streak. DeBrusk has been playing in all situations while occupying roles on the first line and top power-play combination. He is worth scooping up ahead of a three-game week for Vancouver.
Owen Tippett, LW/RW, Flyers (27% rostered) for Assists//Points/Shots/Hits
Tippett has supplied one goal and six assists during a four-game point spree. He has earned a helper in three straight matches while posting four shots and eight hits. Tippett has 13 points, 50 shots and 35 hits through 20 outings this campaign. He has clicked with Trevor Zegras, who leads the Flyers in goals (seven) and points (21), and Christian Dvorak (six goals, 14 points) on what has been the team's most productive line. Tippett's category coverage makes him a solid target for banger leagues, especially during a four-game week for Philadelphia.
Matthew Coronato, RW, Flames (27% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots
Coronato hasn't gone more than two games without a point since the end of October. He has amassed six goals, 11 points and 48 shots on net over his last 13 appearances. He has compiled four tallies, including three on the power play, and three assists during his five-game point streak. The 23-year-old Coronato has plenty of long-term upside if his offensive consistency continues, but his hot play also gives him short-term appeal during Calgary's three-game road trip this week.
Tyler Seguin, C/RW, Stars (25% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots
Seguin has generated four tallies and eight points in his last nine contests. He has been hot and cold this campaign, and he's still slightly below a 50-point pace, but he has reached the scoresheet in four of his past five outings. He remains a valuable contributor in the club's top six and occupies a spot on the first power-play unit. Despite his improved play of late, he hasn't had a 5-on-4 point in 12 consecutive contests. However, his play with the man advantage should improve, and he's worthy of more fantasy attention during a four-game week for Dallas.
Casey DeSmith, G, Stars (13% rostered) for Starts/Saves/Wins
DeSmith has a 4-1-2 record with a 2.22 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage through seven appearances this season. His three-game winning streak ended in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary, but he stopped 31 of 33 shots in the contest. DeSmith should see additional playing time during a crowded four-game week for Dallas. He will probably start the second half of the team's back-to-back against Seattle on Wednesday and could face Ottawa on Sunday if the Stars choose to split the starts evenly with No. 1 netminder Jake Oettinger.
Darren Raddysh, D, Lightning (9% rostered) for Assists/Shots/Blocks/PP
Raddysh has accumulated one goal and five assists during his four-game point streak. He has three power-play helpers, nine shots on net and five blocked shots during that span while averaging 22:55 of ice time per contest. Due to his category coverage and a spot on the top power-play unit, the 29-year-old Raddysh is a superb pickup option, while injured blueliners Victor Hedman and Ryan McDonagh recover from extended absences on the injured reserve list. Tampa Bay plays four times this week.
Braeden Bowman, RW, Golden Knights (8% rostered) for Goals/Points/Shots/Blocks/PP
Since being recalled from Henderson of the AHL, Bowman has been excellent in his introduction to NHL action. He has lit the lamp four times while adding one assist, 13 shots on target and four blocked shots through six appearances. He has been skating on the first line and as a member of the top power-play combination. His production with the man advantage, which includes two goals and two assists, makes him a particularly intriguing pickup candidate. Vegas plays four times this week.
Jason Zucker, LW, Sabres (7% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits/PP
Zucker has one goal, three assists, two shots and four hits in two contests after returning to the lineup from an eight-game absence because of a severe viral issue. He has collected five tallies, 11 points, 29 shots and 19 hits across 14 appearances this season. Zucker is also tied for third on the team with four power-play points. His category coverage makes him a solid roster choice going into a three-game week for Buffalo.
Danila Yurov, RW, Wild (2% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits
Yurov has one goal, three assists, six shots and five blocks in the past four games. In each of his last three outings, he has topped 14 minutes of playing time while skating between Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello on the top line. The 21-year-old Yurov has been taking advantage of his increased role due to the absences of Marco Rossi and Ryan Hartman, who are both week-to-week with lower-body injuries. Yurov is worthy of a short-term addition in deeper leagues during a three-game week for Minnesota.
