Fantasy hockey pickups: Zeev Buium's power-play success leads defensemen
"Just like the 2021-22 version of Dylan Strome, Kasper finds himself between Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat. While Kasper's wingers are on a different team and a little longer in the tooth, there is still a lot of potential. This line is fourth in shot attempts rate in the league at this stage, but is also a wash on scoring with two goals for and two against."
"Andrew Peeke, D, Boston Bruins (2.73 FPPG, 93.3% available): His 6.7 fantasy points from only hits and blocked shots is the early high-water mark for the season. If you are looking for a cheap defender that can contribute at the bottom of your lineup, look no further."
"The 2025-26 NHL season is underway, and every team has played at least twice in the league's first week, with the New York Rangers playing a league-leading four times. If you're in daily leagues, paying attention to the upcoming schedule and player pickups is essential to keeping your roster competitive."
The 2025-26 NHL season has begun, with every team playing at least twice and the New York Rangers leading with four games. Daily-league managers must track upcoming schedules and roster moves to stay competitive. Weekly waiver-wire mining can surface low-rostered players and streaming candidates who provide short-term value. Marco Kasper centers Patrick Kane and Alex DeBrincat, skates on a high shot-attempt line, and adds physicality that can translate to fantasy points and hits. Andrew Peeke delivered 6.7 fantasy points from hits and blocked shots and profiles as a cheap, bottom-pair defensive option. Simon Edvinsson is also noted as a pickup candidate.
