Sleepers and Keepers Podcast: Juraj Slafkovsky Gets a Turn on the Montreal Canadiens' Top Line

The Sleepers and Keepers fantasy hockey podcast hosts Jason Chen and Michael Amato note Juraj Slafkovský's promotion to the top line has significantly increased his fantasy value.

After starting the season averaging around 15 minutes per game, Slafkovský has averaged at least 18 minutes per game since December.
