Fantasy Focus: Mining the Waiver Wire (Week 6)

Staying current on role changes, injury news, and prospect recalls is an important aspect to narrowing down targets on fantasy hockey waiver wires. Let’s dig through players who have pushed themselves to the top of the fantasy hockey waiver wire pile.

In Vegas’s first game without Stone, Nicolas Roy was moved to the top line and top power-play unit alongside Jack Eichel.  Roy skated a season-high 20:36 in that game, had a goal and an assist, and remained in both roles all game.
