My first thought this morning as I glanced through my notes was how crazy it would be for fantasy owners to contemplate sitting Jarome Iginla for the upcoming final week, given that he has been arguably the "hottest" fantasy forward to own after the Olympic Break. However, the 36-year old has been rested twice this past week as he mends from minor bumps and bruises, reinforcing the notion that teams that have already secured playoff spots will rest their crucial veterans down the stretch. It's an imperfect science predicting which and how many games they will miss or play even, but it needs to be taken into account when forming starting rosters for the final stretch run. Loui Eriksson, who collected four assists in Boston's 5-2 win over Philadelphia, took over Iginla's spot on the top line and looked just as dominant. He looks to be the most coveted potential waiver-wire grab as it's possible Iginla could be rested for at least 1 or 2 games over the final four. Young Swedish sensation Carl Soderberg should also be in for more quality minutes in the case of key Boston forwards being rested. The rookie has quietly put together a solid season, amassing 18 points in the last 21 games. I like him as a decent 4th or 5th forward starting option next week. Well, what to do in Detroit where their best player Pavel Datsyuk has been back for two games after a lengthy absence due to injury? The Russian vet scored a power-play goal in the 5-3 loss to Montreal, but you know Coach Babcock will be careful with him if Detroit secures a playoff spot early in the week. His presence in the line-up also re-energized winger Johan Franzen, who responded with 2 power-play assists and now has five points in his last 6 games. However, you know the "Mule" has endured his share of injuries during his career and would be a prime candidate to sit a game or two to ensure a healthy playoff run. In other words, fantasy owners should ride the Detroit young guns, Gustav Nyquist and Tomas Tatar, down the stretch as they should be in line for expanded minutes. Yes, you heard it here first.. start Ilya Bryzgalov of the Minnesota Wild for the final week. Coming off last night's 4-0 shutout win over the mighty Pittsburgh Penguins, the goaltender has started four straight for the Wild, winning three of the games while allowing just 5 goals over that span. Playing for the defensive-minded, and probable playoff-bound, Minny team has done wonders for the "Mad Russian's" confidence, so look fo him to continue his "hot" play in the crease. Darcy Kuemper is currently sidelined with an injury, but he doesn't offer much competition for the starting job at this moment, considering he came crashing down after a promising start. It's "Bryzzy's" job to lose. With four games on the upcoming slate, he might be worth starting more than established veterans on teams with not much to play for, like Jonathan Quick or Tuukka Rask. Just something to think about.. You want a sleeper starting forward to consider? Try Nashville's Patric Hornqvist who has been tearing it up lately with 10 points over the last 5 games, including two goals and an assist last night. The 27-year old has reached the 20-goal mark for the 4th time in his NHL career, making him a legit 30-goal guy on just about any other team. He is looking real good right now, so he should be worth a starting spot. Winnipeg's Tobias Enstrom, who collected a game-winning power-play goal in the 4-2 win over Toronto, could be in for a spike in fantasy value as defenseman Dustin Byfuglien exited last night's game with an upper-body injury. If "Big Buff" misses the final four games, Enstrom is a lock to continue his prolific scoring while youngster Jacob Trouba should get top power-play time and warrant fantasy consideration.
