Fantasy hockey preview – Stack your lineup with Kraken and Devils

Fantasy hockey preview - Stack your lineup with Kraken and Devils

Week 18 of the fantasy season is back to business as usual following the two-week-long Week 17 that incorporated the all-star break as well as extended layoffs for some teams.

The week starts out with all 32 teams getting at least a game in through Wednesday thanks to a busy, 11-game Tuesday slate.

The Arizona Coyotes, New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild and Seattle Kraken all get two games in during the first three days of the week.

If you are setting a weekly lineup, lean on the Coyotes, Devils and Los Angeles Kings, as they have four-game weeks on tap. The Vegas Golden Knights, New York Islanders, Winnipeg Jets, Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets only play twice in Week 18.

With 1.91 FPPG across his past 10, Raymond is holding down the wing with Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat. Patrick Kane returning to the lineup gives the opposition some additional distraction, too.

Quinton Byfield, W, Los Angeles Kings (81.5% available): A change in coach hasn’t resulted in Byfield coming off the Kings power play, as they came back from an extended all-star break to beat the Oilers 4-0. In fact, Byfield was the star of the game for coach Jim Hiller’s debut — which should put him the good books. 15.9 fantasy points (8 GP) 1.99 FPPG

Joonas Korpisalo, G, Ottawa Senators (76.9% available): He was a top suggested target when I…
