Every Monday, theScore will be rolling out a weekly fantasy hockey column: Five moves you need to make. Ownership percentages (as of Oct. 28) and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.
Pick up Dustin Brown
Team: Kings
Position: RW
Ownership: 31 percent
Fantasy owners might have dropped Brown after he broke his finger prior to the start of the season, which could explain his low ownership percentage. He returned to the Kings' lineup Sunday, scoring a power-play goal and collecting seven hits in his season debut.
Brown is coming off a career year, plays on the Kings' top line with Anze Kopitar, and serves as the net-front presence on a power-play unit that could wind up as one of the league's best. He needs to be owned in all leagues.
Buy low on Dougie Hamilton
Team: Hurricanes
Position: D
Ownership: 95 percent
The Hurricanes are off to a nice start, but it's been without much production from prized offseason acquisition Hamilton. The towering blue-liner has just one goal and three assists in 11 games.
However, Hamilton is first among NHL defenseman - and tied for fourth overall - with 47 shots on goal. That is Brent Burns-level shot volume, but he's yet to see the results he's hoped for. His 2.1 shooting percentage is nearly a third of his career mark (6.0) heading into this season.
Hamilton is bound to start getting some puck luck soon enough, so pry him away from his owner for less than market value before he starts racking up points.
Stream Jason Pomiville
Team: Sabres
Position: RW
Ownership: 14 percent
The veteran Pominville has dipped into the fountain of youth lately, tallying eight points in his last four games while playing with Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner on the Sabres' top line. He may not be a permanent fixture on your fantasy team, but he can help you win this week.
Buffalo is one of five teams with four games this week. Its opponents (vs. Flames, at Senators, vs. Senators, at Rangers) have all struggled to keep the puck out of their net this season.
Add Jack Campbell
Team: Kings
Position: G
Ownership: 22 percent
Campbell will man the Kings' crease while Jonathan Quick is sidelined, again. Quick is day to day with a lower-body injury and will be re-evaluated this week, so it's unclear exactly how long he will be out.
However, Quick owners - or anyone needing goalie help - can turn to Campbell. He's 3-4-0 with a .912 save percentage and a 2.72 goals-against average, and the Kings will play their next six games at home.
Take a flier on Chad Johnson
Team: Blues
Position: G
Ownership: 3 percent
Blues starting goalie Jake Allen left Saturday's game after a collision with his own teammate. It's unclear how many games he'll miss - if any - but it'll likely be Johnson handling the starting workload if Allen is out.
Johnson is a career backup and hasn't enjoyed success since the 2016-17 season, but on paper, the Blues are one of the league's most talented teams, so Johnson could rack up some wins even if he gives his team average play in goal.
Moreover, Allen has been so bad this year that if Johnson can get hot and string together some wins, it's not too far-fetched to think he could play himself into a starter's role after Allen returns.
