MORE FANTASY COVERAGE: Top 250 | 100 forwards | Season snapshots | Injury tracker

Fantasy MVP: Carter Hart, G (rank: 90) -- He's been among the 10 best fantasy goalies, going 24-13-3 with a 2.42 goals-against average, a .914 save percentage and one shutout in 43 games for the Philadelphia Flyers. His save percentage is tied for eighth in the NHL among goalies to play at least 40 games, and his .920 even-strength save percentage ranks 10th among those 22 goalies. Hart has proven he can handle the workload of being a No. 1 and has been the best goalie at home; he is tied with Jordan Binnington of the St. Louis Blues for most home wins in the NHL (20) and has a .943 save percentage at home, the best among goalies to play at least five games.

Biggest surprise: Travis Konecny, RW -- He leads the Flyers with 24 goals and 61 points in 66 games. Konecny has set NHL career highs in assists (37) and points, and he tied his NHL career high in goals (24 for the third straight season). Konecny also leads the Flyers in power-play points (NHL career-high 23) and has become Philadelphia's most intriguing fantasy forward option after being drafted on average outside the top 150 overall.

Unsung hero: Sean Couturier, C -- He's been the model of consistency in fantasy over the past three seasons and ranks second in points on the Flyers behind Konecny with 59 (22 goals, 37 assists) in 69 games. Couturier's plus-21 rating leads Philadelphia and is tied for 10th among NHL forwards (Ryan Strome, New York Rangers; David Pastrnak, Boston Bruins). Couturier, who has played frequently on the top line with Claude Giroux, leads Flyers forwards in average ice time per game (19:50) and is second on Philadelphia in shots on goal (185) behind Giroux (197).
