Hamilton scored a goal on four shots and served up four hits in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has been on fire to start 2019-20, recording five goals and nine points with 27 shots in eight games. Defensively, he's added 10 hits and 10 blocked shots, but it's his offense that will get the attention in fantasy. The 26-year-old's hot start makes it seem like he'll threaten his career high of 50 points, set in 2016-17 with the Flames.

Hamilton recorded a goal and an assist -- both on the power play -- in Sunday's overtime win over the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
With Justin Faulk in St. Louis, Hamilton is the Hurricanes' top defenseman on the man advantage. It's paying dividends already, as the 26-year-old already has three points on the power play through three games after posting just seven points on the unit last season. He'll look to keep up the good work Tuesday against the Panthers.

Hamilton delivered two assists and scored the lone goal in the shootout in a 4-3 victory over Montreal on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
The winner came on a nifty double backhand-forehand move that opened up Carey Price's five hole. Hamilton set a career mark in goals last season with 18, but saw his overall production drop to 39 points. But if his second year in Carolina is like his second in Calgary, Hamilton could be headed toward the 50-point mark. He's a guy who often takes some time to fit into new settings. You might be able to scoop him in a trade and reap the reward.

Hamilton scored a goal and an assist during Monday's 5-2 win over the Capitals in Game 6 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
After being held scoreless in the prior two contests, Hamilton came up big to help keep the 'Canes alive. The blueliner now has three goals and six points through six games in the series, and Carolina will likely need him to be productive again Wednesday in Game 7 if the team is going to advance to the second round.

Hamilton recorded two goals -- including one on the power-play -- six shots, two hits and three blocked shots during Monday's 5-0 victory in Game 3 against the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has posted a whopping four goals and eight points over his last six games. The 25-year-old is coming on strong at the best possible time for the Canes and is a valuable fantasy asset for those in playoff leagues.

Hamilton picked up a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals in Game 2 of their first-round series.
EDGE Analysis
Hamilton has six points over five games in April, including a pair of helpers in two playoff appearances. Hamilton registered 39 points in 82 outings during the regular season, but if the Hurricanes can't claw out of a 2-0 hole in the series, Hamilton's viability as a postseason fantasy option will be short-lived.

Hamilton scored two goals, one on the power play, in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
His second-period tally with the man advantage proved to be the game-winner, while Hamilton's empty-netter gave him a career-high 18 goals on the season. The blueliner will need to stay hot over the final two games to reach 40 points for the fifth straight campaign, however, as he's still three points short.

Hamilton notched an assist during Tuesday's 3-2 shootout win over the Penguins, giving him eight points in his last 10 games.
EDGE Analysis
With just 10 points in his first 38 games as a Hurricane, it took awhile for Hamilton to really get going this season, but he's been much better from January on, with 22 points in his last 34 contests. Now with 32 points on the season, he could still hit the 40-point mark with a strong push down the stretch. Averaging roughly 20 minutes in ice time per night over his last 10 games (including 1:31 on the power play), Hamilton's fantasy value is one again on the rise.
