Marchenko’s late goal lifts Blue Jackets past Canadiens 5-4

The Columbus Blue Jackets triumphed over the Montreal Canadiens 5-4, marking their second consecutive home victory. Kirill Marchenko scored the game-winner late in the third period, while Dmitri Voronkov notched two goals, extending his point streak to five games. Despite a strong effort from the Canadiens, who had a goal from David Savard and a point streak extension for Lane Hutson, they couldn't secure the win.

The Blue Jackets displayed resilience, overcoming a two-goal lead squander for the second straight game. Jet Greaves made 27 saves, ending a seven-game losing streak against Montreal. The Canadiens struggled to recover after falling behind, continuing their trend of poor performance when trailing after the first period.

Fantasy hockey adds and drops - The public loves Connor McMichael - ESPN

The NHL fantasy landscape is dynamic, with significant shifts in player rostership trends reflecting collective insights from fantasy managers. As the season progresses, certain players have emerged as hot commodities while others are being dropped due to underperformance.

Connor McMichael of the Washington Capitals and Kevin Lankinen of the Vancouver Canucks are among the most added players, showcasing impressive rostership increases. Conversely, players like Frederik Andersen of the Carolina Hurricanes and Jordan Eberle of the Seattle Kraken are seeing declines in their fantasy value.

With the fantasy season in full swing, managers are advised to leverage these trends to optimize their rosters, trading out underperformers for rising stars.

What strategies can fantasy managers employ to identify undervalued players?How do injuries impact fantasy hockey decisions and roster management?What trends should we watch for in the upcoming weeks that could affect player value?How can managers effectively utilize waiver wire pickups to improve their teams?
