Special to Yahoo Sports
Jake Neighbours went from being rostered in 19% of Yahoo leagues a week ago to 27%, while JJ Peterka jumped from 15% to 30%.
If you are seeking to stream goaltenders, Kaapo Kahkonen (5% rostered) could be a worthwhile option. New Jersey has two back-to-back situations this week, so Kahkonen and Jake Allen (37%) may split starts. Colorado’s Justus Annunen (12%) might get a start or two this week, making him a potential pickup as well.
A couple of honorable mentions of the non-goalie variety are Nick Schmaltz (29%) and Alexis Lafreniere (46%). Schmaltz was featured back in early March on Line Change, finishing the month with five goals and 21 points in 15 games. If Lafreniere is available, he is worth scooping up, but time is probably running out to add him.
Now, let’s get into this week’s under-the-radar suggestions for your consideration:
Jonathan Drouin, LW, Colorado Avalanche (27% rostered)
Drouin just missed the cut a week ago from being among the list of recommended pickups. He has generated five goals, 11 assists and 30 shots across his past 14 outings. Drouin has multipoint performances in four of his last six contests. He is just two points away from reaching the 50-point plateau for the first time since 2018-19. Drouin has meshed nicely alongside prolific producers Nathan MacKinnon and Mikko Rantanen. The trio should be able to stay hot across Colorado’s four-game week.
Adam Henrique, C/LW, Edmonton Oilers (25% rostered)
Henrique has potted three goals on eight shots across his last four games. He has been productive since moving up to the second line alongside Leon Draisaitl during even-strength situations. Henrique’s fantasy stock took a hit after he was acquired from the Ducks, but his new role and recent success make him an intriguing short-term addition, with the Oilers set to play four times this week.
Tyler Bertuzzi, LW, Toronto Maple Leafs (19% rostered)
Bertuzzi has scored 11 of his 18 goals while earning 15 of his 37 points in his past 17 contests. He has ramped up his production down the stretch, earning six goals and two assists in eight games to finish March. Bertuzzi has been credited with 18 shots and 12 hits during that eight-game span. He has been playing well alongside Auston Matthews and Max Domi.
Mikael Granlund, C/RW, San Jose Sharks (18% rostered)
Despite San Jose’s struggles…
