ADVICE

Handcuff Goalie Tandems

  • Handcuff veteran goalies by rostering both starters and their backups to protect fantasy value.
  • Specifically, keep Jake Allen if you own Jacob Markstrom because tandems often split starts and injuries happen.
INSIGHT

Carolina's Goalie Tandem Is Useful But Risky

  • Piotr Kochekov and Frederik Andersen form a shaky but usable tandem for fantasy regular season value.
  • Owners should expect rotation, injury risk, and limited playoff reliability from Carolina's crease.
ADVICE

Buy Ducks While They're Affordable

  • Buy into the Anaheim Ducks' hot start and roster emerging contributors while prices remain low.
  • Target Cutter Gauthier, Beckett Sennecke, and Chris Kreider for shots, power-play depth, and scoring upside.
