Welcome to the fantasy hockey waiver wire report! If you’ve made it to the finals, congratulations! This season has been a grind, and it’s time to bring home the championship. Let’s take a look at which players can help you bring it all home.

 

Tyler Seguin - Dallas Stars - Center

It looks like Tyler Seguin is going to make his season debut as early as Monday, which is perfect timing for owners who are pushing for a championship. He was activated from IR, and should slot into a top-6 role immediately. Dallas still has a lot to play for, and Seguin can definitely help the team. If he is on the waiver wire, it would be a smart move to add him.

 

Jesse Puljujarvi - Edmonton Oilers - Winger

The Oilers play the Canucks four times this week, and that is good news for fantasy owners. Jesse Puljujarvi looks to be back on the top line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, so if he’s available on the waiver wire, he is a great add this week. I expect Edmonton to dominate each of those games, and for Puljujarvi to rack up some points.

 

Craig Smith - Boston Bruins - Winger

Craig Smith has five points in the last two games and is in a great spot this week. The Bruins have games against New Jersey and the Rangers, two teams who aren’t that great defensively. With Boston’s top line commanding a ton of respect, their second line should be able to find some space and continue to rack up points. 

 

Mikey Anderson - Los Angeles Kings - Defence

The L.A. Kings play four games this week: two against Arizona and two against Colorado. The last two games aren’t great matchups, but Mikey Anderson is seeing a ton of ice time of late, and has three points in the last four games. If you need help on the blue line, he’s a player to consider in deeper formats.

 

Ilya Sorokin - New York Islanders - Goalie

The rookie hasn’t played since April 27th because Semyon Varlamov has been on fire, but I expect him to get at least two starts this week, and they would be very juicy matchups. The Islanders play Buffalo and New Jersey twice, two teams who can’t score goals and are far out of the playoff picture. Barry Trotz is terrible at confirming his goalies early in the day, but we have to believe that he’s going to want to give his starting goalie some rest heading into the postseason, and Sorokin is good enough to be able to handle those games. If he is available, I’ll take the risk of adding him and pray that he sees some starts as the week moves on.
