Stefan Noesen, LW, New Jersey Devils (1.91 FPPG, 90.9% available): On the back of his quality results across the season so far, Noesen has last spotted on the Devils top power-play unit with the likes of Jack Hughes, Nico Hischier, Jesper Bratt and Dougie Hamilton (bad news for Timo Meier fans, by the way). Given that two of the Devils four opponents rank 28th or worse in power-play goals allowed this season (Detroit Red Wings are 31st and Tampa Bay Lightning are 27th), this looks like a good week to give him a spin. Bonus in daily lineup leagues if you have him opposite a player from the Vancouver Canucks, Washington Capitals, Buffalo Sabres or Columbus Blue Jackets, who, with the exception of Tuesday’s Frozen Frenzy, have all their games on the off nights for the Devils.
Morgan Frost, C, Philadelphia Flyers (1.88 FPPG, 94.2% available): The matchups aren’t even great this week, but Frost deserves more heat in fantasy. He’s locked in as the Flyers top center, at both even strength and on the power play. The four-game week allows for an excuse to get him locked in before he continues his fantasy-relevant pace and gets scooped up by another manager.
