We’re back to a more stabilized NHL schedule again this week, with a handful of four-game streamers (LA, Minnesota, Nashville, and New Jersey) and a smattering of teams playing on two light days. A bit of a shame, really: last week’s schedule with several games a night was the ideal schedule for fantasy and regular hockey fans alike. Nine teams play two games on light nights this week so, in the interest of saving time we’ll highlight a couple glaring availabilities instead of every team getting a shoutout.
Entering week five, we’ve seen enough action to start making judgements on players that have flopped and others that are trending in the right direction.
