With the NHL locked and loaded for an Aug. 1 restart, preparation and strategizing is fully underway for playoff pool participants. thegoldenmuzzy looks at fantasy sleepers from each team that could have a breakout performance in the post-season.
Nagging injuries and unfavourable line deployment led to a dip in production for the 31-year-old in the regular season. The former Maple Leaf is healthy and hungry – that’s bad news for the opposition, especially on the power play where he does most of his work. The winger has 18 goals and 29 points in 59 career playoff games.In his second NHL season, the 21-year-old notched 42 points in 66 games, a 52-point pace pro-rated over 82 games.
The 28-year-old notched six goals and 12 points in 15 games after being acquired from Minnesota in early February. The winger will surely see a steady dose of power play time, but it’s the attachment to Evgeni Malkin and Bryan Rust five-on-five that makes him very attractive.Due to injuries, the 25-year-old was limited to just 27 regular-season games this year. When he did play, the Quebec native was actually pretty productive tallying 15 points.
