Fantasy 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 suggestions for your consideration.
Nick Schmaltz, C/RW, Hockey Club (35% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots
Despite amassing six goals and 16 points in his last 14 outings, Schmaltz is still widely available in fantasy leagues. He is worth adding from the waiver wire ahead of a four-game week for Utah. Schmaltz has been productive on the top line alongside Clayton Keller at even strength, though his lack of power-play points (one goal, three assists) during that 14-game stretch is slightly concerning. Still, the 29-year-old Schmaltz ranks third on his team with 20 points on the man advantage. He also sits third on the club with 156 shots on target. For fantasy managers seeking an offensive boost, Schmaltz is a great option.
Mason Marchment, LW, Stars (26% rostered) for Assists/Points/Shots/Hits
Marchment’s four-game point streak ended in Saturday’s 3-2 overtime win over Philadelphia, but his production in March still makes him an attractive pickup option for potential fantasy managers. He has accounted for three goals (two on the power play), four assists, 18 shots and 15 hits through 10 appearances this month. While the team has missed the presence of injured forward Tyler Seguin, Marchment has been productive alongside Matt Duchene this season. Had Marchment stayed healthier, he could have flirted with the 60-point mark in 2024-25. Dallas plays four times this week, including games on Monday and Wednesday, making Marchment a solid roster choice.
Tony DeAngelo, D, Islanders (14% rostered) for Assists/Shots/Blocks/PP
DeAngelo has collected one goal, six helpers, 15 shots and eight blocks in his past eight appearances. Due to two multipoint efforts, he has five assists in the last four contests while logging more than 23 minutes in each game. DeAngelo has been playing on the top unit power-play combination alongside Noah Dobson. The 29-year-old DeAngelo offers decent category coverage going into a four-game week for the Islanders.
Ryan Hartman, C/RW, Wild (12% rostered) for Assists/Shots/Hits/PP
Since returning from an eight-game suspension, Hartman has produced…
