Welcome to the Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Report! The waiver wire is key to winning. It helps you improve on the team you drafted, and to help patch holes when players go down due to injury. It’s something most managers will monitor daily. Let’s take a look at who we should be adding this week.
 

 


Since being moved to the top line, Jake DeBrusk has turned into a scoring machine. He has four goals in the last four games and is seeing time on the second power-play unit. His ice time is still hovering around 15-minutes per game, but he’s getting the job done and that’s all we really care about. As long as he continues to play with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, he’s a great pickup for a fantasy team trying to secure a playoff spot.
 

 


It hasn’t been a great season for Josh Anderson or the Montreal Canadiens but since Martin St. Louis took over the team, they are just unstoppable. Anderson is playing on the top line with Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield and has three goals in the last four games. He’s a power forward who can create space on the ice for himself and is capable of finding the back of the net. His shot volume will be inconsistent and he’s not playing on the top power-play unit, but his line has been for the Habs and they are the go-to line when a goal is needed. He’s a good player to consider in deeper formats.
 

 


Imagine having 48-points on the season and ONLY being 55% owned in Yahoo! leagues. Jesper Bratt has been great for New Jersey and even in shallow formats, he should not be this available. He’s scoring goals and his shot volume is consistent. The Devils are going to be playing a lot of catch-up hockey down the stretch and he’s going to be counted on to contribute. If he keeps up this pace, he could easily eclipse 65-points on the season. Not bad for a player on the waiver wire.
 

 


The magic may be coming to an end soon, but J-F Berube is a great fantasy hockey addition to any team as long as he’s in the NHL. His 3.25 GAA doesn’t look great, but his .924 SV% tells a different story. He has given up three or more goals in all of his starts, but he’s facing close to 40-shots on goal every game. The Blue Jackets are a bad team, so this is going to be a problem, but in deeper formats in good matchups, the veteran netminder is worth picking up. 
 

 


"Everyone loves a defenceman that can rack up points, but in category league, we need more. Travis Hamonic will not pick up points, but he will do everything else well. He’s terrific at blocking shots, can throw in some hits, and add hit the net a few times every game. He does the little things right and that can be the difference between winning a week and losing it. The veteran defenceman will not make your lineup worse, but he can up for the lack of hits/blocked shots that most elite defencemen don’t contribute to. He is widely available across all platforms, so in deeper formats, he might be worth a roster spot.
