There was plenty of roster movement ahead of the NHL trade deadline on March 8. Some recommendations for your consideration this week include newcomers who gained fantasy value after being acquired via trades. Additionally, we will cover a few other players worth scooping up during their hot streaks.
For honorable mentions, fantasy managers seeking goaltending help should monitor New Jersey and Vancouver. The Devils brought in Jake Allen (13% rostered) from Montreal and Kaapo Kahkonen (6% rostered) from San Jose in a trade-deadline shakeup between the pipes. The availability of Thatcher Demko for the Canucks, who left Saturday’s win over Winnipeg due to an injury, makes backup Casey DeSmith (12% rostered) an intriguing target.

The 29-year-old winger has meshed nicely with Sebastian Aho this campaign, and Andrei Svechnikov has been a productive part of the trio as well.

Still, he makes for a solid addition during his hot play and Carolina’s busy four-game slate this week.
Anders Lee, LW, New York Islanders (34% rostered)
Lee has largely been a disappointment offensively this season, especially after he displayed plenty of consistency in his previous seven campaigns. However, he has been better of late and could be a valuable contributor down the stretch. Lee has generated four goals, four helpers, 27 shots and 21 hits across his past 10 outings. He has managed to stay on the scoresheet despite dropping to the second line and the second power-play unit. Lee’s multi-category upside makes him an intriguing addition, especially with the Islanders poised to play four times this week.
Casey Mittelstadt, C, Colorado Avalanche (29% rostered)
Mittelstadt logged just 13:56 of ice time during his Avalanche debut versus Minnesota on Friday, but his playing time should increase as he grows more accustomed to his new surroundings. He is on pace for the best…
