As fantasy hockey managers gear up for a busy week, targeting players who can contribute across multiple categories is key—especially in leagues that count goals, assists, points, hits, blocks, shots on goal, and plus/minus. With several teams playing four games this week, here are three players bargain players worth considering for your lineup:
Anders Lee (LW, New York Islanders)
Anders Lee has been seeing plenty of shot volume lately and has shown an ability to contribute offensively while also providing physicality through hits. In a week with four games, Lee offers strong multi-category upside, making him an intriguing option for teams that need production in both scoring and peripheral stats.
Vasily Podkolzin (F, Edmonton Oilers)
Vasily Podkolzin is a solid pick for managers who value peripheral stats. He contributes hits and blocks while also offering some offensive potential with goals, assists, and shots on goal. In deeper leagues where categories beyond pure scoring can make a difference, Podkolzin is a player to target this week.
Mathieu Olivier (F, Columbus Blue Jackets)
Mathieu Olivier brings physicality in spades. Known for racking up hits and blocks, Olivier can also chip in offensively when given the opportunity. For teams looking to strengthen their category production in a busy four-game week, Olivier is a worthwhile addition.
Bottom Line:
All three of these players have the potential to make an impact across multiple categories. Whether you’re chasing points, hits, or blocked shots, adding one (or more) of these forwards could give your fantasy team a boost in a busy slate of games.
