Sport: NHL<\/p>\n
This is a good week for potential waiver wire adds at forward, whether you can get them for three or four games this week. We are headed down the stretch and wins are needed for many, so let\u2019s get right into it.<\/p>\n

He is in his regular spot on the top line of the Minnesota Wild with Ryan Hartman and Kirill Kaprizov, and also on the top power play that has been rolling. In just his last five games, Zuccarello has five points on the power play.<\/p>\n He doesn\u2019t hit or block too many shots, but if you\u2019re looking for pure points and production on the power play, Zuccarello should be your number one choice off the waiver wire. He has three goals and nine points on his five-game point streak, and the Wild play the Chicago Blackhawks, Calgary Flames, and Edmonton Oilers this week.<\/p>\n Adam Fantilli, Columbus Blue Jackets<\/p>\n Since the Columbus Blue Jackets made a change behind the bench<\/a>, the team has played better. While some have gotten more opportunities, that didn\u2019t seem likely with Dean Evason; there\u2019s now a time to prove it. Adam Fantilli doesn\u2019t necessarily need that as he is one of the top players on the team already and should remain as the top center of the team.<\/p>\n Playing between a very hot Mason Marchment and Kirill Marchenko, the top line of the Blue Jackets is playing very well. Fantilli just put up a goal and three points in his final game last week and has a goal and six points in his last seven, with four of those points coming on the power play. He continues to pile up shots, hits, and blocked shots, though, so he is making himself known one way or another. The Blue Jackets have a very easy week with games against the Philadelphia Flyers, the Blackhawks, and the St. Louis Blues.<\/p>\n Eeli Tolvanen, Seattle Kraken<\/p>\n Eeli Tolvanen has found nice chemistry with Chandler Stephenson this season as they continue to play together on the second line. As the team deals with injuries on and off, lines get messed up, and Tolvanen was very hot in late December and cold in early January. He has settled into a consistent pace as of late, though.<\/p>\n Tolvanen has three goals and five points in his last eight games. It\u2019s not anything special offensively, but two of his last four points have come on the power play, he shoots the puck, and as a strong two-way forward, he hits and blocks a good amount of shots. He is a more well-rounded player than Zuccarello if you\u2019re looking for that type of addition this week. The Seattle Kraken play the Washington Capitals, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Vegas Golden Knights.<\/p>\n Related: Week 17 Fantasy Hockey Goalie Streamers<\/a><\/p>\n Take advantage of these players doing well who have a great opportunity to keep it up this week, and be sure to come back tomorrow for the top defensive streamers.<\/p>\n Fantrax is one of the fastest-growing fantasy sites in the fantasy sports industry, and we\u2019re not stopping anytime soon.
