ADD’EM: ROUNDING INTO FORM Connor Hellebuyck-G- WPG (68.1% owned in ESPN), Jeff Petry-D-MTL (21.1), Jason Demers-D-ARZ (10.1), Lars Eller-C-WAS (1.9), Nino Niederreiter-RW-MIN (57.2), Bo Horvat-C-VAN(55.5), Boone Jenner-RW-CBS (30.2) and Brock Boeser-RW- VAN(31.9) 11/5/2017 Some interesting names on the free agent wire for the upcoming week that are still somewhat available.  Top on the list is Minnesota’s Nino Niederreiter owned by 57.2% of leagues in ESPN.  I know he missed the very early part of the season due to injury but he is a major component on the offense and should start to get his legs under him.  Minny has 4 away games but they are against opponents that won’t stymie the offense.  Boston, Toronto, Montreal and Philly make up the work week so expect the Wild to put up some points this week. One of the more intriguing names on the wire is Columbus Blue Jacket RW Boone Jenner.  Jenner is one of PrimePucks™ rebound players for this season and he has been contributing of late with 2-3-5 in last 3 games with 2 of those points coming on the power play.  Jenner also had 8 SOG in those 3 games.  The Jackets have 2 home games sandwiched in 2 away games.  The away game are against her NY Rangers and Detroit Red Wings while the home games feature matchups against Nashville and Carolina. Jenner, like Niederreiter, also missed time at the beginning of the season but seems to be rounding into form lately.  A solid pickup for the week. Looking for some goaltender help is very difficult as most of the starts are gobbled up by now but Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck is only owned in a little under 70%, so there is a chance he is still available in your league.  Although the Jets have 3 upcoming away games, they are up against Dallas, Arizona and Las Vegas and with the way Connor is playing (.933 SP, 2.22 GA and 3 wins in 4 starts), he should continue to fight for the starter’s role in Winnipeg. On the defensive side of the coin, a few names to help fill in that last gap on your fantasy defense.  Jeff Petry is not having the kind of offensive season we got accustomed to last season but does have 2 points in last 3 games and 10 SOG so he should be able to contribute something to your team playing against Las Vegas, Minnesota and Buffalo all on home ice….Jason Demers finds himself on the scoreboard of late in Arizona as he has gone 1-3-4 in last 4 games.  The Coyotes are on the road for 3 against Washington, Pittsburgh and St. Louis before returning home against Winnipeg.  Not the easiest of schedules but if you are in need, then Demers can be of value. Back to the forwards, 2 Vancouver players stick out with their availability, Bo Horvat and Brock Boeser.  Horvat has gone 1-3-4 in last 3 while Boeser has only played in 2 games this past week but has 3 goals and an assist in those 2 contests with 11 SOG and a +2.  Three home games on the schedule (DET, Ana, SJ) with an away game sandwiched in there against Calgary. Last but not east we have Washington's Lars Eller.  Not one of the names you would ordinarily look to for offensive contributions, but Eller has been putting up some points lately with 2-2-4 in last 3 games.  With 3 homes  games against Arizona, Pittsburgh and Edmonton around an away game in Buffalo, the opportunities are still there for some production against lesser opponents.  LAST WEEK’S REVIEW (meaning 2 weeks ago as I was on vacation last week): Good thing I was away last week because I would have been embarrassed by the way my ADD’EMs from 10/22 played. My lineup additions were populated up and down the lineup with 4 entries of the 9 from the Los Angeles Kings, another 2 from Carolina and the remainders just a random smattering. The Kings won 3 of the 4 games on the road trip but most of the scoring came from the major players.  Dustin Brown cooled off considerably (0-0-0, -1, and 8 SOG), Michael Cammalleri (0-0-0 +1 & SOG) went into one of his dry spells, while Jake Muzzin on defense was decent with an assist, +1, and 12 SOG and the last King on the list was backup goaltender Darcy Kuemper who got a win in one start allowing 2 goals and had 28 saves and a .933 SP.  Jordan Staal went 1-0-1 with a -1 and 8 SOG while Justin Williams had 3 assists being even on the week with 10 SOG.  Derick Brassard (0-1-1, +1, 7 SOG) & Sam Reinhart (0-1-1, -1, 5 SOG) were the last 2 forwards in the group to do nothing for your fantasy squad while Tampa Bay’s rookie defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (1-1-2, +2, 8 SOG) was the saving grace on the week with his solid performance.
