The hottest lines in Fantasy Hockey heading into the All-Star break.
This will be a shortened week with only two days of action and 15 combined games. Some leagues combined last week and this week so forgive us. Now it is time to go "Between The Lines".
Lead Us Forwards
Michael Frolik–Mark Scheifele-Mathieu Perreault (Winnipeg) – You thought that the Jets could not score like this with only their first line but Mathieu Perrault had been on fire. That included a four goal effort (22 points in 19 games) and then Dan Carcillo put an end to that with a vicious cross check. Frolik had six points on the week while Mark Scheifele and Michael Frolik had five points each. Evander Kane will be on the line with them this week while Perrault recovers.
Ryan Getzlaf–Corey Perry–Patrick Maroon (Anaheim) – The Ducks rotated Patrick Maroon into the mix for Week 15 and had a pretty successful week with 12 points while together. Corey Perry led the line with four goals and five points while Patrick Maroon also had five points. Ryan Getzlaf had four points but watch the frequencies because players will rotate with Getzlaf and Perry especially this week and then next week.
Defend This
Justin Braun–Brenden Dillon (San Jose) – Justin Braun had a breakout week for the Sharks that no one saw coming but his value pick netted fantasy owners five points while Brenden Dillon chipped in a couple. Braun just kept on rolling with points all week and finally saw a little bit of power play time for his troubles. Even Dillon saw a whisker of time there. With New Jersey in town this week, maybe they see a little more. After all, it is New Jersey, the ice time might get spread out a bit more once again.
Danny DeKeyser-Kyle Quincey (Detroit) – If you like watching a pairing to laugh at them, then this was the week Kyle Quincey laughed at you. He had five points on the week while seeing power play time and had a couple multiple point games (including Buffalo). Danny DeKeyser had four points on the week and that is a player who can produce surprise point totals from time to time. This was quite the stunner for fantasy owners especially in daily leagues. Not many expected Niklas Kronwall to be the odd man out in the point brigade to that extent. Think about DeKeyser in deep leagues as his value starts to rise once more.
Matthias Ekholm-Seth Jones (Nashville) – You were looking for that Roman Josi–Shea Weber pairing, weren't you? That is not the case as though Dustin Byfuglien had seven points and Kris Letang had six points, the players that were paired with them did not produce multiple points. Seth Jones and Matthias Eklhom had three points each including an Ekholm goal that was a welcome sight for Nashville. Remember with Pekka Rinne out for the next 3-4 weeks, the defense is going to have to step up both defensively and offensively. It will be really interesting to see what happens also with the Ryan Ellis injury. This could benefit both Ekholm and Jones over the next couple weeks. It makes them more sought after in deeper leagues.
