A busy start to Week 21 of the fantasy hockey season has a six-game Monday on tap, followed by a nine-game Tuesday slate. Wednesday is a little quieter, with only three games.

The Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Washington Capitals and Minnesota Wild get a small break by not lacing up again until Thursday. The rest of the league dips into at least some of the early-week action, with the Colorado Avalanche, Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruins, Columbus Blue Jackets, Florida Panthers, Seattle Kraken, Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues all playing twice before Wednesday.

It’s also the final countdown to Friday’s NHL trade deadline.

As the Dallas Stars wait for Chris Tanev’s visa issues to be sorted for his eventual debut, there are still plenty of fantasy-friendly assets that could change homes by Friday. As for Tanev, he should continue to earn fringe fantasy value as a shot blocker in the Stars lineup, but arguably doesn’t have quite as much fantasy potential as he did on a less-crowded Flames blue line.

Back in Calgary, Oliver Kylington, as anticipated, had a leap in ice time, playing 20:31 against the Penguins on Saturday against his average of 14:57. If Noah Hanifin also gets dealt by the Flames this week, there could be something here with Kylington given all the fresh ice time.

We’ll keep an eye on other deals and have continuing coverage of any trades here on ESPN Fantasy up through Friday’s deadline.
