Kreider buried his second power-play goal in Anaheim’s 4-3 win over Pittsburgh, capping a strong home debut and helping the Ducks extend their home-opening win streak to 10, tying the NHL mark with Boston and Toronto.

Four goals in three games since his Rangers trade, plus a Carlsson setup on the opener and a late PP dagger, underscored Kreider’s instant chemistry with the Ducks. Gauthier and Helleson also scored; Dostal stopped 23. Crosby’s two assists moved him into the top-10 in all-time assists; Rakell scored for Pittsburgh; Quenneville drew a loud welcome in his Anaheim debut.

Tampa Bay Lightning surge into the Capitals with Point, Kucherov, and Hagel leading the charge, Hedman stabilizing the back end for strong power-play upside. The Caps present a soft target on defense, boosting the trio’s ceiling and Hedman’s PP value.

Vegas Golden Knights bring a balanced, mid-priced stack with Dorofeyev, Hertl and Saad, supported by Theodore. Calgary’s shaky defense and goaltending push this grouping into tournament-friendly territory, especially when paired with Hill’s road form.

Anaheim Ducks roll Kreider-Killorn-Carlsson with LaCombe adding uzt on D, offering high shot volume and sleeper upside in GPPs against Pittsburgh’s road woes.

Montreal Canadiens offer a cheap but productive stack with Bolduc, Dach and Gallagher, aided by Matheson’s offensive bursts from the blueline. Seattle Kraken’s defense weak links open opportunities for Montreal’s group, while top-tier options from DAL, NYR, and CAL rotate as pivot plays.

Adin Hill stands out as a cash-constructor with solid road numbers, with Oettinger and Shesterkin lurking as elite alternatives. Build balanced exposures across TB, VGK, and MTL for win potential tonight.

Early-week NHL fantasy push centers on waiver-wire depth and targeted streams. Anton Lundell looks like the Panthers’ answer to Barkov’s absence, while Elias Lindholm returns to a prime Bruins role. Shane Pinto and Matty Beniers offer high ceiling with top-line/minor adjustments, and Marco Kasper plus Leo Carlsson carry multi-position appeal in deeper leagues. Defenders Ekblad and Nikishin push for steady PP time, with solid goalie streams in Vejmelka and Jarry on deck for the week.

Short-term adds include Brazeau, Nazar, McBain and Jarry, while Malkin, Bedard, Hayton, Keller, Schmaltz, Barkov, Tkachuk and Jones shape daily decisions across races and spots. Track schedule density, lines, and PP usage to maximize both season-long value and daily fantasy upside.
