While you may be an avid fan of a particular NHL team -- and keep up to date on
all the news and rumors regarding that franchise -- there are 29 others playing
in 2016-17.
Cheap Bills Jerseys .As a fantasy owner, it
can be a bit daunting to keep tabs on everything.Thats where the Fantasy 30
comes in -- a rundown of the most fantasy-relevant updates on every team. Heres
whats happening around around the NHL in Week 2 of the young season.Anaheim
Ducks: Although finally armed with a new six-year, $22.8 million deal, Rickard
Rakell isnt expected back in Anaheims lineup for another week or so. While
securing a work visa tops the to-do list, the 23-year-old forward is also in
line for some warm-up practice sessions after missing training camp (and
recovering from an appendectomy). But once ready and able, Rakell is expected to
muscle his way into a top-six role for the Ducks up front.Arizona Coyotes: Coach
Dave Tippett is quickly adopting the practice of shifting his top rookies in and
out of the lineup in this seasons early stages. First, young center Dylan Strome
sat out the opener, then Christian Dvorak was booted to the press box for
Stromes debut a game later. Teen defenseman Jakob Chychrun has been made a
healthy scratch as well. It serves fair warning to fantasy owners with these
promising young guns on their own respective rosters.Boston Bruins: Recovering
from a lower-body issue, Patrice Bergeron is a good bet to make his season debut
against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. If so, look for Bergeron to reclaim
his gig as top-line center between Brad Marchand and David Pastrnak, bumping
David Backes to the second-line wing.Buffalo Sabres: Three broken ribs mean
forward Evander Kane will miss weeks for the Sabres. Without Kane and Jack
Eichel -- out a few weeks himself with an ankle injury -- Buffalos top line of
Ryan OReilly, Sam Reinhart and Kyle Okposo stands alone as a top permanent trio
and reliable source of production for fantasy owners.Calgary Flames: After
fumbling his first two starts, Brian Elliott seems up for another shot with his
new club in Calgary. But a third straight substandard effort against the
Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday ensures Chad Johnson, who has been solid in his
two appearances, will be back between the pipes to face the St. Louis Blues on
Saturday.Carolina Hurricanes: By far Carolinas most effective forward line early
on, the top unit of Victor Rask, Jeff Skinner and Lee Stempniak, is in little
danger of being broken up. Owned in about a fifth of ESPN.com fantasy leagues,
Stempniak -- an underrated guy in coach Bill Peters eyes -- actually leads the
team with three goals and two assists in three games. Get on it.Chicago
Blackhawks: Veteran Marian Hossa is considered iffy for Fridays contest in
Columbus. After scoring his 500th NHL goal, Hossa suffered a lower-body injury
in blocking a shot against the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Guessing coach
Joel Quenneville would rather play it safe with his 37-year-old asset, forward
Marcus Kruger is a solid candidate to take over Hossas spot with the man
advantage.Colorado Avalanche: On a conditioning assignment with the San Antonio
Rampage, Mikko Rantanen (ankle injury) is pegged to rejoin the Avalanche in
about a week. Collecting 60 points in 52 AHL games last season, the 19-year-old
winger has been considered a threat to crack the Avs top six in 2016-17. Keep an
eye on this kid.Columbus Blue Jackets: Although already frustrated with his team
on the whole (quelle surprise), coach John Tortorella seems reasonably pleased
with the play of rookie blueliner Zach Werenski. Owned in only 18 percent of
ESPN.com leagues, the 19-year-old top-pair defenseman already has a goal and an
assist (nine shots) in his first two NHL games. Selected eighth overall in 2015,
Werenski is also skating on the Blue Jackets top power play.Dallas Stars:
Battling illness, Jiri Hudler is expected to miss Thursdays tilt with the Los
Angeles Kings in Dallas. However, a return for Saturdays game against the Blue
Jackets isnt out of the question. Fellow forward Ales Hemsky (groin) is also
eyeing his season debut in the coming week or two. Beyond the No. 1 line of
Tyler Seguin, Jamie Benn and Patrick Eaves, the Stars corps of forwards will be
in for a significant shuffling once both are able to compete.Detroit Red Wings:
Not all NHL backups are weighed equally. Some are limited to seeing
exceptionally restricted action behind a healthy and dominant No. 1. Others --
like Detroits Jimmy Howard behind Petr Mrazek -- are more likely to enjoy a
higher percentage of starts, particularly if the Red Wings No. 2 continues to
stifle the competition like he did in Wednesdays 32-save, 2-1 victory over the
Rangers. One game, sure, but Howard was terrific. And the Wings are scheduled to
play back-to-back home games this Friday and Saturday.Edmonton Oilers: While
Jesse Puljujarvi already has sat as a healthy scratch, Todd McLellan appears
reluctant to send the 18-year-old to the AHL anytime soon. Instead, the Oilers
head coach believes a consistent environment will help the young Finn adjust to
the game on this side of the Atlantic. Of course, that isnt to suggest
Puljujarvi is utterly immune from demotion to the minors this season
either.Florida Panthers: Generally off the fantasy radar, Denis Malgin merits
some attention in dynasty and deep redraft leagues. With Jonathan Huberdeau and
Nick Bjugstad on the injured shelf, the diminutive forward is filling in as
third-line center and competing on a top power play for the Panthers. Not bad
for a 19-year-old with about a seasons worth of elite Swiss league games to his
credit.Los Angeles Kings: Hello there. Peter Budaj! Showing up fellow understudy
Jeff Zatkoff, who has floundered in relief of No. 1 Jonathan Quick early on,
Budaj stopped all nine shots he faced in Tuesdays 6-3 loss to the Wild. That
should earn the experienced netminder a subsequent start Thursday against the
Stars. And if the veteran can hold his own against Dallas potent offense, the
winless Kings are likely to run with Budaj until the wheels falls off. And/or
until they trade for someone better (perhaps a demoted Ondrej Pavelec in
Winnipeg?). Meanwhile, Quick (groin injury) has opted to skip major surgery and
remains out until his loosely projected return in early January.Montreal
Canadiens: Barring some sudden setback, Carey Price is in line to start against
the Coyotes on Thursday. Down about 7 pounds after fighting the flu, the
Canadiens elite netminder says he feels good and is ready to go. Utilize him as
you usually would.Minnesota Wild: Perhaps we should start paying greater
attention to the Wilds third forward line. According to Michael Russo of the
Star-Tribune, center Erik Haula was at his best in Tuesdays 6-3 victory over the
Kings, alongside Jason Pominville and Nino Niederreiter. Coach Bruce Boudreau
seems to be demanding more than the usual scoring support from his third unit,
and perhaps fantasy owners should, too. Also, all three forwards are valid
candidates to move up the lineup -- especially Pominville -- if
necessary.Nashville Predators: Fantasy owners hoping for a fruitful sophomore
season from Miikka Salomaki will have to wait a while; the 23-year-old forward
is out six to eight weeks with a broken hand. Salomaki still could be a modest
fantasy factor down the road -- if/when more prominent members of the Predators
offense fall injured.New Jersey Devils: In a gut punch to fantasy owners who
targeted Adam Henrique this offseason, veteran Travis Zajac instead has emerged
as the Devils centerman of choice alongside new star winger Taylor Hall (and
P.A. Parenteau). Considering such, Zajac should be owned in more than 6 percent
of ESPN.com leagues.New York Islanders: Were only a couple weeks in, but forward
Josh Bailey appears to be succeeding where P.A. Parenteau (now with the Devils)
and Jason Chimera fell short in making it work on a No. 1 forward line with John
Tavares and Andrew Ladd. Remember when Bailey was picked ninth overall at the
2008 entry draft? If this top trio remains intact, that selection might finally
flush out for the Islanders eight years later. An inexpensive DFS asset worth
consideration, the 27-year-old is also largely available in ESPN.com leagues.New
York Rangers: Badgered by a hip flexor (read: groin) injury, Daniel Girardi is
eyeing a return for the Rangers in the next few days. A modest commodity in only
the deepest fantasy leagues, the veteran defenseman wont be hurried in his
return, meaning a comeback Saturday in Washington feels improbable.Ottawa
Senators: This isnt to propose hes playing next week, next month, next year, or
even ever again, but with concussion specialists at the helm, forward Clarke
MacArthur is reportedly feeling much better. Not just better but much better.
However, since its a fools act to prognosticate recovery from any head injury,
well just leave it at that.Philadelphia Flyers: Injuries are never welcome, but
this here is somewhat fortuitous timing for the Flyers. With his three-game
suspension complete, Brayden Schenn is set to return to Phillys lineup just as
Michael Raffl is ruled out for the next two weeks with an upper-body injury.
This allows coach Dave Hakstol the luxury of plugging Schenn in Raffls place on
the top line with Claude Giroux and Wayne Simmonds, no fuss or muss. Charged up
after sitting out over a week, Schenn presents as a particularly appealing DFS
play against the Ducks on Thursday.Pittsburgh Penguins: Defenseman Kris Letang
is hurt again. This time, the Penguins elite blueliner is listed as day-to-day
with an upper-body injury. Look for Justin Schultz or Trevor Daley to anchor
Pittsburghs top power play in Letangs stead.San Jose Sharks: Netminder Aaron
Dell was impressive in his NHL coming-out party, stopping 20 of 23 shots in
Tuesdays 3-2 win over the Islanders. Unfortunately for Dell -- and fantasy
owners desperate for any and all goaltending help -- the Sharks arent scheduled
to play back-to-back games again until late November. Which means its Martin
Jones show between now and then.St. Louis Blues: Recovering ahead of schedule
from an elbow injury, Jaden Schwartz is tapped to make his 2016-17 debut on a
top line with Alexander Steen and Vladimir Tarasenko, booting David Perron to
the third unit with Patrik Berglund. Meanwhile, the cobbled-together second
forward line including Paul Stastny, Nail Yakupov and Robby Fabbri should remain
intact following Jori Lehteras placement on injured reserve. The Blues are in
Edmonton to face Cam Talbot (3.92 GAA/.886 save percentage) and the Oilers on
Thursday.Tampa Bay Lightning: As it stands, forward Ryan Callahan appears on
pace to return from offseason hip surgery in early November. But with the
Lightnings top six humming along nicely, a third-line role is likely in store
for the 31-year-old veteran, diluting his fantasy potential -- at least until
the injury bug bites.Toronto Maple Leafs: Four games in, netminder Jhonas Enroth
is tapped to make his Maple Leafs debut on Thursday in Minnesota. A strong
performance by Enroth, who was better than good in limited play as the Kings
backup last season, could give Leafs coach Mike Babcock pause, considering the
11 goals allowed by Frederik Andersen through the first three games. Never mind
that Andersen is the perceived No. 1 in Toronto -- Babcock wants to win. Keep an
eye out.Vancouver Canucks: Not yet feeling up to snuff (click the link for a
personalized and detailed accounting) Ryan Miller is pegged to dress as backup
to Jacob Markstrom in Thursdays tilt with the Sabres. Markstrom has been solid
to begin this campaign (2-0, 1.97 goals-against average, .913 save percentage)
and could provide value in a spot start across the ice from a banged-up Buffalo
squad.Washington Capitals: Dont count on 65-plus games from Braden Holtby this
season. In light of the condensed schedule, Isabelle Khurshudyan of the
Washington Post reports backup Philipp Grubauer is in line for a greater share
of starts. What youre seeing with the schedule is that there are some more
back-to-backs, but also, youre playing every second day, Capitals coach Barry
Trotz said earlier this week. ... I said to the goaltenders, if I could go Grubi
one game and then Holts three, that type of situation, that would be in the
perfect world what Id like to do. How were playing and when were playing and our
travel and all of that sort of messes with that. Additionally, Grubauers first
career shutout Tuesday wont dissuade his head coach from giving Holtby another
break, sooner rather than later.Winnipeg Jets: With No. 1 Jonathan Quick nursing
a serious groin injury, theres been talk of potential interest on behalf of the
Kings in demoted Jets netminder Ondrej Pavelec. However, now that were learning
Quick is choosing to forego major surgery, with a return loosely projected for
early January, that chatter might subside. (ESPN Insiders can check out why Rob
Vollman believes the Kings will manage just fine without Quick.) This means
Pavelec is destined to compete in the AHL for a while yet, assuming Connor
Hellebuyck and/or Michael Hutchinson stay healthy and sufficiently competent.
