--Backup goalies enter spotlight: Goalies James Reimer (Florida Panthers) and Jack Campbell (Los Angeles Kings) are worth adding in most fantasy formats after injuries to starters Roberto Luongo and Jonathan Quick. Matt Murray (Pittsburgh Penguins) has been diagnosed with a concussion, making Casey DeSmith an attractive option in deeper leagues. Goalies Keith Kinkaid (New Jersey Devils), Jaroslav Halak (Boston Bruins) and Robin Lehner (New York Islanders) also entered the top 200 after strong starts to the season.
-- New among the top 100 overall:Additions include forwards Alex DeBrincat (Chicago Blackhawks), rookie Elias Pettersson (Vancouver Canucks), Jake Guentzel (Pittsburgh Penguins), Kyle Connor (Winnipeg Jets), Viktor Arvidsson (Nashville Predators), Teuvo Teravainen (Carolina Hurricanes), T.J. Oshie (Washington Capitals), defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen (Buffalo Sabres) and goalie Semyon Varlamov (Colorado Avalanche).
-- Coveted exposure: Players to crack the top 200 overall as a result of favorable lineup placement include Conor Sheary (with Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart), Kasperi Kapanen (with Auston Matthews, Patrick Marleau), Micheal Ferland (with Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen) and rookies Brady Tkachuk (with Matt Duchene) and Dominik Kahun (with Jonathan Toews, DeBrincat).
-- Crop of young defensemen:Miss out on depth defensemen in your draft? Luckily there are a few high-upside options, including Thomas Chabot (Ottawa Senators; top pair), rookies Henri Jokiharju (Blackhawks; top pair with Duncan Keith) and Dennis Cholowski (Detroit Red Wings; top pair) and deep sleeper Samuel Girard (Avalanche). Cholowski is dealing with an upper-body injury.
FANTASY TOP 200 PLAYER RANKINGS
Standard Yahoo categories include goals, assists, plus/minus, power-play points, shots on goal and hits for skaters and wins, goals-against average, save percentage and shutouts for goalies. Forward positions indicate Yahoo eligibility for 2018-19 season (subject to additions, but never subtractions, at Yahoo's discretion). ... Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production, projected line combinations, defense pairs and goalie start volume, power-play usage, injury history, sleeper upside, anticipated regression or bounce-back candidacy, age and contract status (potential 2019 UFA: \; RFA: \\). ... DTDindicates player with day-to-day injury. These rankings are updated at the beginning of each week by Pete Jensen and later adjusted with new defenseman and goalie orders from Rob Reese and David Satriano, respectively.
