The latest updates on ESPN's fantasy hockey rankings reveal significant shifts among players, with notable risers and fallers since the last review on November 5. Drew Doughty of the Los Angeles Kings has made a remarkable jump from 279 to 55 as he nears his return from injury, reclaiming his power play quarterback role with the Kings. Marco Rossi of the Minnesota Wild is also on the rise, moving from 357 to 169, capitalizing on Kirill Kaprizov's absence to average 2.18 fantasy points per game. Jackson LaCombe has surged from 328 to 146 while taking on a pivotal role alongside Radko Gudas. Conversely, Adin Hill of the Vegas Golden Knights has plummeted from 80 to 236 due to a poor save percentage, while Mario Ferraro of the San Jose Sharks has fallen from 180 to 276, struggling for relevance this season.
In goalie news, players like Darcy Kuemper of the Los Angeles Kings and Spencer Martin of the Carolina Hurricanes have shown marked improvements, whereas veterans like Frederik Andersen are returning to form following injury recovery. The power-play dynamics have also shifted, with players like Darren Raddysh and Mason Lohrei emerging as key contributors for their respective teams.
Fantasy managers must reassess their rosters as certain players showcase new potential while others fall from grace, highlighting the ever-evolving landscape of fantasy hockey.
