2023 Discover NHL Winter Classic - Pittsburgh Penguins v Boston Bruins BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JANUARY 02: Linus Ullmark #35 of the Boston Bruins looks on against the Pittsburgh Penguins during the f
irst period of the 2023 Discover NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park on January 02, 2023 in Boston, Massachusetts. It may only be January, but this is the stretch run of the fantasy season. The schedule will be slightly different depending on your league settings, but with a minimum three-week playoff, you're probably somewhere between halfway or three-quarters of the way through the head-to-head regular season.
Given the amount of parity and talent in the NHL at the moment, the margin for error in fantasy probably remains as thin as ever, but that also means it's all the more important to pay attention to which players may get hot for the rest of the season.Fiala snapped a seven-game goal drought with a hat trick against Vegas and then followed it up with four points against Edmonton. He's really starting to craft a reputation as a second-half player.
Though the sample size is not the same, Fiala's recent outburst is just more evidence that he's a bit of a slow starter and has a tendency to ramp it up later. It's even more understandable this season with a new team, and the Kings did struggle earlier in the season when their goaltending was in flux. Fiala's second-half performances make him a sneaky under-the-radar trade target.This one's for those who like picking apart advanced stats.
It's unlikely Miller gets moved, but key pieces of their power play, including impending UFA and captainon the second unit, could be moved. That's going to take a big bite out of their power play, arguably the Canucks' best feature and where Miller has scored 17 of his 35 points this season. Without Horvat's shooting, Miller's already up-and-down season will likely trend downwards.
Fantasy managers in the hunt for the league championship should obviously keep Ullmark, but for those whose chances are fading, or those in keeper leagues who don't intend on keeping Ullmark, this is a great chance to sell when Ullmark's fantasy value is still arguably at its highest. Getting a mid-level starter and perhaps a player who can plug a hole in other parts of your lineup might not be such a bad idea.
