Fantasy hockey managers looking to tinker with their rosters will benefit from zeroing in on specific categories. Whether you are looking for long-term fits or short-term options, there should be a plethora of potential pickups to help your fantasy squad.
Let’s get into this week’s fantasy hockey waiver wire pickup suggestions for your consideration.
Tyler Seguin, C/RW, Stars (31% rostered)
Categories: Goals/Assists/Shots
Seguin has one goal and three assists over his three-game point spree. He has been held off the scoresheet twice across 12 contests this campaign. Seguin has seven markers, 14 points and 39 shots on goal. His 23.3 shooting percentage is a red flag, and a lingering lower-body injury may prevent him from playing in both games of a back-to-back situation. However, that isn’t a concern for this week, and Seguin should be rostered in more fantasy leagues.
Fabian Zetterlund, LW/RW, Sharks (29%)

Sandin has flashed his offensive upside in the past, but he hasn’t put it all together, yet. However, that could change in 2024-25. Washington’s high-octane offense leads the league with 4.24 goals per game, and the defense corps has played a significant role in the team’s success on the scoresheet. Sandin is also tied for second on the Capitals with a plus-13 rating.
Jonathan Drouin, LW, Avalanche (22%)
Categories: Assists/Shots
Drouin returned to the lineup against Washington on Friday following a 16-game absence. He logged 19:49 of ice time alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Valeri Nichushkin in the contest. However, Drouin was back with Nathan MacKinnon during Saturday’s practice. The 29-year-old Drouin flourished as…
