This week's waiver wire analysis highlights several players with potential to boost fantasy teams. Valeri Nichushkin of the Colorado Avalanche is set to return from suspension, offering a significant offensive boost. Meanwhile, Gabriel Vilardi from the Winnipeg Jets is on a scoring streak, making him a must-add for fantasy managers.

Jack Roslovic of the Carolina Hurricanes is thriving in a top scoring role, while Evan Rodrigues of the Florida Panthers is also making waves with his recent performances. In goal, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen of the Buffalo Sabres and Pyotr Kochetkov of the Carolina Hurricanes are solid options for fantasy managers seeking netminder help.
