Identifying potential sleeper players early in the fantasy season is critical for success. Managers should look for players in advantageous situations with supportive teammates to maximize their impact.

Victor Olofsson could thrive with the Vegas Golden Knights, especially after the team's recent roster changes. Similarly, Cam Atkinson may find a strong role with the Tampa Bay Lightning, seeking a return to form after an injury-plagued recent past.

New York Islanders' Anthony Duclair looks to regain his scoring touch while playing alongside established stars, and Viktor Arvidsson’s move to the Edmonton Oilers provides intriguing high-risk, high-reward potential.

Goalies like Darcy Kuemper and Anthony Stolarz have bounce-back potential, while Reilly Smith’s shift to the New York Rangers offers him a platform to rediscover his scoring prowess. Other players, including Justin Faulk and Thomas Novak, could also provide strong contributions in their respective roles.
