As the NHL season progresses, many lesser-known players are stepping up and making significant impacts, especially for fantasy hockey managers looking to bolster their rosters. This week's waiver wire targets include various forwards and defensemen with the potential to provide immediate value.
Adam Fantilli of the Columbus Blue Jackets is emerging as a key player, filling in for injured veteran Sean Monahan. He has registered six points in six games and is seeing considerable ice time. Meanwhile, Mathew Barzal of the New York Islanders has been productive since the New Year, contributing nine points in eight games.
On the defensive side, Darren Raddysh of the Tampa Bay Lightning is noted for his contributions on the power play, while John Klingberg of the Edmonton Oilers is a player to monitor as he returns from injury.
