Defensemen
Devon Toews, COL (Yahoo: 43%): It’s been an underwhelming scoring season for Toews as he’s only posted 13 points in 44 games after four consecutive campaigns with at least 44. He still skates alongside Cale Makar at five-on-five with a secondary power-play role while averaging 22-plus minutes and coming off an Olympics where he notched a goal and two assists, so more NHL production should eventually come on a league-leading attack.
Oliver Ekman-Larsson, TOR (Yahoo: 39%): Ekman-Larsson has already eclipsed his point haul from each of the previous six years, sitting at 35. He also bumped Morgan Rielly down to the No. 2 man-advantage and picked up a PPA on Thursday. OEL has registered a goal, nine assists, 24 shots, 13 hits and 18 blocks from his last 15 contests. He’s also been mentioned in possible trade talks, so his fantasy value could decrease if he lands elsewhere. Grab Ekman-Larsson now and monitor his status leading up to the deadline.
