Tuesday's top targets include a trio of Golden Knights and Dallas Stars sophomore Wyatt Johnston.
Chandler Stephenson, C, VEG at NYI (31% rostered)
Nicolas Roy, C/RW, VEG at NYI (3% rostered)
Pavel Dorofeyev, LW, VEG at NYI (2% rostered)
The Knights will be playing the second game of their back-to-back but the Isles are not a defensive stalwart, and Patrick Roy's going to need time to make the changes he wants to make.
Jan 20, 2024; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Vegas Golden Knights left wing Pavel Dorofeyev (16) celebrates with Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone (61) after scoring a goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the third period at T-Mobile Arena.The Isles allowed 42 shots in his coaching debut and allow the second-most shots per game. That should provide a ton of scoring chances for Stephenson and Dorofeyev, who play L1 and PP1 together, and for Roy, who's currently the second line.
Roy scored three points and won 90 percent of his faceoffs against the Devils on Monday, while Stephenson pitched in with two points and Dorofeyev scored a goal for the second straight game.
Dylan Strome, C, WSH at MIN (24% rostered)
Strome is the Caps' top goal scorer -- still really weird not to type Alex Ovechkin in that sentence -- and even with their low upside-offense, they should be able to take advantage of the Wild.
Strome played less than 15 minutes last game and he will center L2 between T.J. Oshie and Max Pacioretty, but he's also far more consistent and productive than Evgeny Kuznetsov. The Wild have lost won three of their past four and allowing the eighth-most goals per game in the league.
Wyatt Johnston, C, DAL at DET (23% rostered)
The addition of Johnston to the top line gives the Stars two very good playmakers to set up their best goal scorer in Jason Robertson. While Johnston can be hit-or-miss -- he scored multiple points in two of his past four games but also scored zero points in the other two games -- he's at least putting quite a few shots on goal and winning plenty of faceoffs.
Jan 21, 2024; Anaheim, California, USA; Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (4), defenseman Jackson LaCombe (60) and right wing Troy Terry (19) congratulate center Adam Henrique (14) after scoring a goal in the first period against the New York Rangers at Honda Center.Adam Henrique, C/LW, ANA vs. BUF (20% rostered)
Henrique is on fire with three multi-point performances in his past four games. He scored two goals in 22:11 against the Rangers and enjoying some nice chemistry with L1 linemates Troy Terry and Leo Carlsson. The Sabres' goaltending has been excellent lately, but though they have to be really tested, facing the Sharks, Blackhawks and only 15 shots against the Lightning.
Cam Atkinson, RW, PHI vs. TB (18% rostered)
Should Owen Tippett be unavailable again, look for Atkinson to play an elevated role once again. He's on a five-game points streak and averaging around 19 minutes per game over his past three games. Sometimes, the Flyers lineup can be hard to figure out, but Atkinson generally skates more minutes than Tyson Foerster, who's skating on the top line.
