Anders Nilsson, Edmonton- The ex-Islanders prospect has been on a tear of late for the Oilers, starting five straight games while winning four of them. And he's not just getting by either, allowing just nine goals over those contests. Although it's reasonable to assume that Cam Talbot will have another chance to reclaim the starting job, Nilsson is only 25 and is showing off some of that upside that he displayed in the KHL. Take a flier on him as he could be the real deal.
Connor Hellebuyck,Winnipeg- The rookie has started 3 of Winnipeg's last four games and has won them all. The Jets needed a spark in the crease so it's possible that good ol Connor can pull off an Andrew Hammond and run a fantasy friendly scorching streak of victories. For that reason alone, he should be on your radar. Defintely worth a short-term goalie stopgap and maybe much more.
Shayne Gostisbehere, Philadelphia - What are some of you guys waiting for? All the rookie defender has done in place of the injured Mark Streit is collect points in 6 of his last 7 games. He has added a much needed offensive flair to the Flyer's anemic offense, so look for him to remain on the top power-play unit until he runs out of gas.
Mike Cammalleri, New Jersey- The veteran forward is probably taken already off the waiver wire but given his Third Star of the week honors and his torrid point-per-game numbers, Cammy deserves plenty of fantasy love. Hey, ex- 80-point producers arent available often so do the right thing.
Adam Henrique, New Jersey - After he pulled a 51-point rookie season in 2011, he has failed to reach those totals again, frustrating many fantasy owners along the way. Well, he is off to a much more promising start this season with 23 points in 27 games and has the potential to finally break out. Whether he does or not is another question but he is streaking enough to warrant immediate fantasy consideration.
