    Brian Bradshaw Sevald-USA TODAY Sports - Fantasy Hockey: Sharks Offense Is Rolling; Fantasy Players Must Take Advantage

    The San Jose Sharks went from scoring six goals in ten games on the road to 22 goals in the last four road games. 

    The offense was a major struggle for this team through the first part of the season. Until recently, no player on the Sharks roster was fantasy-relevant. 

    Tomas Hertl is only rostered in 40% of Yahoo leagues, yet he is a top 100 fantasy producer this season. He has five goals in his last two games and should continue to be close to a point-a-game player for the rest of the season. 

    Mikael Granlund's recent success over the last four games is well-documented. Since scoring his first goal as a member of the Sharks seven games ago, Granlund has 12 points. 

    Get him while he's hot and still available on the waiver wire because his roster % has grown 11% over the last week. He is still available in 84% of leagues. 

    His top powerplay and prominent role in late-game offensive situations make him an attractive addition to any fantasy team. 

    Granlund's linemates, Anthony Duclair and Fabian Zetterlund, should at least be on fantasy players' watch lists. 

    Duclair is one of the most streaky scorers in the NHL. He went seven games without a point, then put up five points in three games. 

    Granlund's hot play and passing ability should help his production be more consistent. Duclair is also always looking to shoot, meaning even if he doesn't score, he might get some points for other categories. 

    Duclair is rostered in just 2% of Yahoo Leagues. 

    Fabian Zettelrund has eight goals this season, good for second on the Sharks. His skating ability and release have made him one of Sharks coach David Quinn's favorite players this season. 

    Like Duclair, Zetterlund is owned in just 2% of Yahoo leagues. He is playing 17:26 a night right now. He has also been deployed with Hertl on the penalty kill and could garner some shorthanded points. 

    Zetterlund is on the Sharks' top powerplay unit. He arguably has the best shot release on the team. He has only gotten better so far this season. 

    Lastly is William Eklund. He is owned in 3% of Yahoo leagues. His last game against the Detroit Red Wings was his best game of the season. He earned a shorthanded assist. He could've had three or four points with how many chances he created. 

    Against the New York Islanders, he had his first career three-point game. He is connected with Hertl and is on the top powerplay unit. The youngster is starting to figure it out at the NHL level. Don't be too late in getting on the Eklund fantasy train. 

    Other players to keep an eye on: Alexander Barabanov, Calen Addison, Jacob MacDonald
