The best schedules in fantasy hockey for Week 20.

 

Love 'Em (These squads are sure to pay dividends in the coming week)

 

Los AngelesJeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli have found their mojo once again and the Kings are riding a six-game winning streak to leap back into the playoff race. With four games this week it seems like a safe bet to roll out your Kings.

 

New York RangersDerek Stepan has recovered from a flu that had him slumping recently. He now has five points in the past two games. That has sparked Martin St. Louis for four points in the last two games as well. Rick Nash remains in the hunt for the Rocket Richard trophy, two back of Alexander Ovechkin. With multiple scoring lines clicking the Rangers are a great play.

 

Columbus Blue JacketsBrandon Dubinsky finds himself on a four-game goal streak, Nick Foligno has returned from injury and Ryan Johansen is a must play. Throw in four games (three at home) and it's safe to say you'll enjoy your BJs this week.

 

Leave 'Em (These squads will leave fantasy owners sorely disappointed in the near future)
