NHL Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Players to Target - Tuesday, Jan. 9

Trevor Zegras, C, ANA at NSH (43% rostered)

Zegras is still a little off last season's pace but after being very unlucky at the start of the season, the pucks are starting to go in. He scored two goals in his previous game against the Red Wings, and I think playing left wing has taken a little pressure off. He's playing L1 with Troy Terry and Adam Henrique. 

Evan Rodrigues, C/LW/RW, FLA at STL (40% rostered)

The Panthers are on a roll with seven straight wins and they'll be looking to end their four-game road trip on a high note. They've had two days' rest and Rodrigues has been very productive of late. He's playing on one of the best top lines in the league with Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart, who continues to score points at a career-best rate.

Jonathan Huberdeau, C/LW, CGY vs. OTT (38% rostered)

I haven't taken any crazy pills but this is a good matchup for the Flames and Huberdeau has been scoring, including a point in consecutive games twice over the past two weeks. The Sens are reeling; they still don't defend well and they're not getting good goaltending. Huberdeau has been a major disappointment but might be worth holding just to see if he can pick this up. Of course, if he stops scoring again, feel free to drop him. 

Gustav Nyquist, LW, NSH vs. ANA (36% rostered)

Nyquist has a chance to extend his scoring streak to nine (!) games in a very favorable matchup. The Ducks just shipped out a big piece of their blueline in Jamie Drysdale and they've been routinely outshot this season. Nyquist is one of the best streamers/pickups of the night.

Cole Perfetti, C/LW, WPG vs. CBJ (29% rostered)

Perfetti can extend his goal streak to three games and the Jets' winning streak to seven games. With the Jets offense humming along and Perfetti finding some nice chemistry with center Vladislav Namestnikov (16% rostered) and Alex Iafallo, this is a good matchup against a very inconsistent and defensively poor Jackets team. Namestnikov is also a good streaming option. 

Pavel Mintyukov, D, ANA at NSH (22% rostered)

We shall see if Mintyukov resumes power-play duties after Jamie Drysdale was traded, but he's at least worth a speculative add. During Drysdale's injury, Mintyukov was their preferred PP QB and now there's nothing blocking his path except maybe a timeshare with Cam Fowler. The Preds' PK ranks 25th in the league.
