TRENDING UP

Minnesota Wild: Left wing Zach Parise has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in nine games and is among seven of their players in the top 200, including goalie Devan Dubnyk, who is ranked seventh at the position. The Wild have two of the top 26 fantasy defensemen (Matt Dumba, Ryan Suter), and Jared Spurgeon remains a viable streaming option with exposure to Parise on the second power-play unit.
Colorado Avalanche: Semyon Varlamov and Philipp Grubauer are both ranked among the top 25 goalies. Left wing Gabriel Landeskog has eight goals through 10 games, and each member of the Avalanche first line (others: Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen) is ranked among the top 10 in Yahoo.

TRENDING DOWN

Calgary Flames: Wing James Neal has three points (two goals, one assist) in 10 games and is ranked outside the top 300 in Yahoo entering Saturday. After the departure of Dougie Hamilton (traded to Carolina Hurricanes on June 23), the Flames' only fantasy-relevant defenseman is Mark Giordano. Goalie Mike Smith is 3-4-0 with an .886 save percentage and a 4.10 goals-against average through seven games. Outside of the top line, left wing Matthew Tkachuk and Giordano, there are no viable streaming options in Calgary.
Los Angeles Kings:Center Anze Kopitar has three goals through the first nine games; he had 13 points (seven goals, six assists) over the same span last season. Goalie Jonathan Quick has not won a game through his first four starts, and the Kings are tied for the fewest goals in the NHL with the Arizona Coyotes (18). Secondary scorers Tyler Toffoli and Jake Muzzin are becoming droppable in most leagues. It's worth noting wing Dustin Brown could return soon from a broken finger and rejoin Kopitar's line.
