Every week, theScore offers a fantasy hockey column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 10. Roster percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.
Add Jack Campbell
Team: Maple Leafs
Position: G
Rostered: 33%
Last week, I recommended stashing Campbell while he was injured; those who listened would've reaped the rewards after he recorded a 31-save shutout in his first game back Saturday against the Calgary Flames.
Campbell has only played four games this season due to injury but has been lights out over the small sample size, sporting a .965 save percentage and 1.00 goals-against average.
The 29-year-old is going to come down to earth at some point, but with Frederik Andersen struggling (.897 save percentage in 23 games) and playing through an injury, Campbell will likely get a run of starts moving forward and could easily claim the No. 1 job. He needs to be rostered in all leagues.
Drop Carter Hart
Team: Flyers
Position: G
Rostered: 84%
Hart's season has been a nightmare. The 22-year-old owns an .875 save percentage and 3.83 goals-against average in 20 appearances. He's been especially bad lately, recording an .821 save percentage over his last eight games.
The young netminder has clearly lost his confidence and seems unlikely to get it back anytime soon. You're better off adding someone like Campbell or streaming goalies rather than hoping Hart turns it around.
Trade Chris Kreider
Team: Rangers
Position: LW
Rostered: 73%
Kreider is scoring at the best pace of his career, averaging 0.47 goals per contest. He's managing this despite taking just 2.07 shots per game, his lowest mark since 2015-16.
The 29-year-old's goal-scoring success stems from his unsustainable 22.6 shooting percentage. That's over 9% higher than his 13.4% career mark entering the season. He's bound to hit a slump soon, so trade him now while he still has value.
Add Jonathan Drouin
Team: Canadiens
Position: C/LW
Rostered: 21%
There are a whopping 20 teams with four games this week. The Canadiens are one of them, but they play Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, avoiding the busiest game nights of the week. This allows for maximum lineup optimization, as you should have room for Drouin all four nights.
Drouin has been a great playmaker this season but is snakebit with just two goals (3.8 shooting percentage). His career shooting percentage entering the campaign was 9.7%, so he's bound to see some pucks go in eventually.
Nick Suzuki (56%), Tomas Tatar (44%), and Jesperi Kotkaniemi (9%) are worth adding as well.
Add Rickard Rakell
Team: Ducks
Position: LW/RW
Rostered: 43%
The Ducks also play four times this week, but like Montreal, none fall on Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, creating ideal lineup optimization.
Rakell has been streaky this season. He managed only seven points over his first 20 games but got hot with 12 points in the following six contests. He's gone cold again with just two points in his last six.
The Swede is more than capable of going on another hot streak. Not only is he a highly skilled player who plays top-line minutes, but he also ranks eighth in the NHL in individual scoring chances, meaning he's due to heat up again at some point.
