"Valeri Nichushkin is seeing top-six minutes while Artturri Lehkonen and Gabriel Landeskog convalesce, and the largely available power forward is shooting and scoring. Yes, we fully recognize the enduring frustration of dealing with such a promising yet consistently volatile fantasy performer. But right now, Nichushkin offers value for managers seeking production."
"Mavrik Bourque is skating on a top line while Mikko Rantanen recovers post-Olympic break, the first-round draft selection (2020) is averaging a point per game with loads of on-ice minutes. Along with Roope Hintz, Rantanen isn't due back in the foreseeable future, providing extended opportunity for Bourque."
"Mats Zuccarello, running mate to Kirill Kaprizov at even strength and with the extra skater, the veteran continues to quietly chip in with satisfying regularity. The perennially underrated fantasy performer, now healthy, offers consistent scoring potential during the playoff stretch."
