With the NHL season in full swing, savvy fantasy owners are on the lookout for emerging talent to boost their rosters. This week's waiver wire reveals several key players with impressive stats and potential impact.
Leading the charge is Jason Zucker of the Buffalo Sabres, who has been on a scoring tear, notching a power-play goal against Vegas, bringing his total to seven goals and three assists in just seven games. Dmitri Voronkov of the Columbus Blue Jackets is also making waves, contributing significantly with seven goals in six games, making him a must-add.
Veteran Patrick Kane from the Detroit Red Wings is gradually finding his form, contributing to his team's win streak. Meanwhile, Warren Foegele of the Los Angeles Kings has shown strong chemistry with linemates, accumulating four goals and six assists recently. Matthew Knies of the Toronto Maple Leafs is another player to watch, having recently hit a scoring high with his first NHL hat trick.
On the defensive front, Drew Doughty is nearing a return post-injury, making him a valuable addition. In goal, Darcy Kuemper of the Kings and rookie Yaroslav Askarov of the San Jose Sharks are standout options for fantasy managers.
