Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire: Forwards for Week 4

Dylan Cozens, Ottawa Senators

Dylan Cozens is a repeat player from last week, and that’s because he is still available in plenty of fantasy hockey leagues. While the forward group has been changing to account for no Brady Tkachuk for a while, Cozens has been up and down in the top-9. That hasn’t impacted his output, though, as his game continues to be hit and produce offensively.

Cozens has done so well that he has earned a place on the top power play. He has scored a goal in five of his nine games and has six goals and nine points so far this season. Six of his points have come on the power play, and while shooting a lot, he has even more hits. The Senators have three games remaining after playing the Boston Bruins on Monday, and are set to face the Chicago Blackhawks, Calgary Flames, and Montreal Canadiens. It could go very well for Cozens and the Senators if certain goalies play, but you shouldn’t fade him if Jakub Dobes or Spencer Knight are in net.

Elias Lindholm, Boston Bruins

Elias Lindholm has started his resurgence on the Bruins as the number one center. It didn’t work very well for him or the team last season, and while they aren’t in a good spot, his production is much better, and it appears as though he has completely settled in. He has three goals and seven points in 10 games, and that’s perfectly fine considering nobody should expect a point-per-game player out of him after just one great year.

Lindholm plays with David Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie on the top line and top power play, and that’s not changing, especially if Pavel Zacha or other forwards are going to be traded eventually. Lindholm has two assists in his last three games, both coming on the power play, has taken four penalties this season, and just blocked six shots in his final game last week. The Bruins, also having played on Monday, also have games against the New York Islanders, Buffalo Sabres, and Carolina Hurricanes, a solid lineup for more production to come.

William Eklund, San Jose Sharks

The San Jose Sharks have been on a heater offensively, led by Macklin Celebrini. Fortunately for some of the players around him, they are getting lots of production. One of the key players is William Eklund, who is good in his own right. In just the last three games, he has three goals and seven points, four of which came on the power play.

Eklund also shoots 3-4 times per game, hits and blocks shots a little. While he isn’t on the top line with Celebrini at the moment, he was, and it could easily change multiple times again, but he is on the top power-play unit that is doing a lot of damage. The Sharks play four more times to close out this week against the Los Angeles Kings, New Jersey Devils, Colorado Avalanche, and Detroit Red Wings. These aren’t all easy matchups, but plenty of opportunities to score.
