-- Two of the Montreal Canadiens' biggest acquisitions of the past two offseasons, Jonathan Drouin and Max Domi, have combined to help make the Canadiens one of the biggest surprises in the NHL to this point. Domi has already matched his goal total from last season with nine in 17 games, while Drouin has five points (two goals, three assists) in the past five games. Coach Claude Julien recently moved forward Andrew Shaw (C/RW, 1 percent owned) to the line, and he's responded with three goals in two games. Shaw has covered hits and penalty minutes through the years and could be an even more valuable fantasy asset with added offense from his new linemates.
-- The Anaheim Ducks line of left wing Rickard Rakell, center Ryan Getzlaf and right wing Patrick Eaves from two seasons ago has been reunited by coach Randy Carlyle, and this could make Eaves a fantasy sleeper for the rest of the season. After Eaves (LW/RW, 1 percent owned) joined the Ducks prior to the 2017 NHL Trade Deadline, the three players combined for a plus-26 shot attempts differential, while outscoring opponents 13-3 at 5-on-5. Eaves missed more than a year because of an illness and shoulder injury but is immediately fantasy-relevant again with exposure to Rakell and Getzlaf. UPDATE: Eaves (upper body) did not play Monday and is day to day.
-- With the return of left wing Brady Tkachuk, the Ottawa Senators have stacked two rookies, including center Colin White, on the top line with right wing Mark Stone. White ranks second among rookies in scoring (11 points in 17 games). UPDATE: White (undisclosed) left the game Sunday and did not return.
