Happy Trade Deadline Day!

This week, I'm going to focus on some players that have been playing well for the past two or three weeks but might not be on the radar of some people.

I'm also going to look at some players that have hit the wall in terms of production and might be a cause for concern.

Surging:

Adam Henrique – Anaheim

Henrique has missed 22 games this year due to injuries and it could be argued he has been the best player on Anaheim this month. He has five goals in the past nine games on 20 SOG, which makes a shooting percentage of 25, which might be a little unsustainable for the 15.3 percent shooter. His eight points in his last nine games is the most on the Ducks during that time.

Dysin Mayo – Arizona

The 25-year-old rookie defenseman has played 53 games with Arizona this season and put up four goals and seven assists while being a respectable minus five. He has averaged 20:44 per night and since the beginning of March he has a goal and four assists in his past nine games and is plus five averaging 21:30 per night. He is a mainstay on the penalty-kill as well and has 25 hits and 23 blocks in those nine games as well. 

Lawson Crouse – Arizona

Crouse is in the midst of a breakout year with 20 goals and 14 assists in 61 games to go along with 125 SOG and 175 hits, while averaging 17:29 per night. In the past  nine games he has six goals and four assists, 17 SOG and 26 hits while being on the powerplay 62.2 percent of the time.

Rasmus Andersson – Calgary

Andersson is in his second season after he was handed the keys to the Calgary powerplay. Last year he had six PPP while playing 52.2 percent of the time and this season he has 14 PPP while playing 60.1 percent. In the last 11 games, he has one goal and nine assists to bring his season total to three goals and 36 assists in 62 games (0.63pts/g). He is having his fourth year breakout.

Dylan Strome – Chicago

After the start to the season that Strome had, I thought he would need a fresh start somewhere else. He was a healthy scratch for six of the first eight games of the season and when he did get in the lineup only posted three goals and four assists in his first 22 games. Since then he has 14 goals and 14 assists in 29 games and eight goals in his last ten games. Playing with Patrick Kane hasn't hurt, but his game has arrived to where it was in 2018-19.

Tyson Barrie – Edmonton

Barrie was the QB on the first power play and then lost it for a bit to Evan Bouchard, but it seems that he has it back, which is good news to those that have him on their fantasy teams. He was pointless for a 12-game period between December 16th and February 15th. Since then he's played 13 games and has two goals and 11 assists with eight of those points being on the PP.

Cody Ceci – Edmonton

In the past nine games, Ceci has one goal, four assists and is a plus nine while averaging 21:33 per night. On the season he now has three goals and 17 assists in 58 games and is a plus 10. He also has 88 hits and 80 blocked shots and should get into the 100/100 club.

Kailer Yamamoto – Edmonton

Since missing a game on February 27th, Yamamoto has played nine games and has five goals and three assists on 17 SOG and averaging 18:42 per game. On the season he now has 15 goals and 11 assists in 61 games. His production of late has removed any notion that the Oilers would have to improve his spot from outside the organisation leading up to the playoffs.

Trevor Moore – Los Angeles

In the past 10 games for the Kings, Moore has led the team in scoring with eight points. It's a credit to Moore and an indicator of how badly the Kings have been hit by injuries to Andreas Athanasiou, Victor Arvidsson and Drew Doughty over that period.

On the season, Moore now has 11 goals and 27 assists in 64 games while averaging 15:10 per game which are all career-highs.

Jordan Greenway – Minnesota

Since returning from injury after missing five games in early March, Greenway has played six games and had three goals and an assist with 19 SOG and 12 hits and a plus four. In 47 games, he has seven goals, 11 assists, 79 SOG and 119 hits while averaging 14:30 per game.

Michael McCarron – Nashville

McCarron might have been the most unlikely player to have a four-point night this year as he put up two goals and two assists in a game on March 5th against San Jose. In the last nine games he has two goals and five assists, is plus-nine and has 21 hits, which does include that four-point night.

Dante Fabbro – Nashville

Fabbro plays 22 minutes some games then goes back to 17 the next game, so he's kind of been all over the map this season. In the last 13 games he has six assists and is a plus-10 to go with 12 hits and 24 blocked shots. On the season he has one goal and 17 assists in 52 games, with a plus-17, 48 hits and 75 blocked shots while averaging 19:08 each game.

Philip Tomasino – Nashville

The 20-year-old rookie has had a solid season with nine goals and 14 assists in 56 games on 76 SOG while averaging 11:24 each night. In the past 11 games he has three goals, five assists, 12 SOG and is a plus-10. To be fair he did have three assists and was a plus-five in the one game against San Jose.

Yanni Gourde – Seattle

Over the past eight games, Gourde has elevated his game and has been the best Kraken on the ice most nights. He has five goals and four assists in those games on 18 SOG while averaging 18:06 per night. His totals on the season now have him as the points leader on Seattle with 16 goals and 22 assists in 55 games.

Vince Dunn – Seattle

One is never sure what they are going to get from Dunn in Seattle this season. During the period from February 14th to March 8th, Dunn played 11 games and had a goal and an assist and was minus-10. Since that stretch, he has played four games with six assists and is a plus-three. The talent is there, but the consistency isn’t there yet. The same can be said for the whole Kraken team this year, but Dunn is a vital piece if that is going to start heading in the right direction the rest of this season.

David Perron – St. Louis

I wouldn't normally include a player like Perron as an under the radar guy, but his season hasn't gone the way he or the Blues would have liked. Until recently.

In the past 12 games, he has 12 goals, six assists, 45 SOG and is a plus-nine. His season now has him at 21 goals and 19 assists in 47 games.

Brad Hunt – Vancouver

Hunt won't get you hits, but in the past ten games, he has quietly put up two goals and four assists, 16 SOG, four hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-two. On the season, he has managed 33 games with two goals and 10 assists while averaging 15:13 per game. The acquisition of Travis Dermott, might hurt Hunt a little as he only dressed in four of first 27 games this season as a healthy scratch and might be the first choice to sit.

Logan Stanley – Winnipeg

Stanley missed nine games from injury in late February and has played eight games since returning to the lineup on March 6th. He has a goal and three assists, and is a plus-two, with 18 hits and 20 blocked shots. On the year he has played 48 games with one goal, 12 assists, a plus-seven, 109 hits and 78 blocked shots while averaging 15:29 a night.

Barrett Hayton – Arizona

Even though he has gone pointless in his past two games, Hayton has put up three goals and five assists in his past 10 games with 16 SOG, 15 hits and 55 faceoff wins while averaging 14:20 per game. He has now played 40 games with six goals and nine assists this year.

Fading:

Sonny Milano – Anaheim

Milano had a great start to the season with 11 goals and 29 points in his first 39 games. In his last 12 games he has one goal, 17 SOG and is minus-seven.

Sean Monahan – Calgary

In his last 25 games, Monahan has one goal and two assists and is minus-five. He is now at a career-low 0.35 pts/game and 14:14 after 62 games.

Kirby Dach – Chicago

Dach has seen his icetime go from averaging 19:38 after 21 games to about 17 minutes per game over the past 20 games. He has one goal and two assists in the past 13 games, with only 16 SOG. He's only 21-years-old still, so plenty of time.

Nazem Kadri – Colorado

It might just be a blip, but in his past five games, he has one goal and one assist, while going minus-six. He has one goal in the past 11 games. He is slowing a little, finally, but still has 23 goals and 51 assists in 59 games.

Anze Kopitar – Los Angeles

Kopitar was almost at a point per game after 50 games, but in his past 11 games has only had a goal and an assist, while being minus-three. At 34-years of age, there is always concern when production dries up, but Kopitar should get it back at some point this year. He still has 16 goals and 36 assists in 64 games.

Alex Iafallo – Los Angeles

At the end of the first half, Iafallo had 13 goals and 14 assists after 41 games, with 120 SOG. In the 21 games since, he has a goal and two assists on 52 SOG.

Adrian Kempe – Los Angeles

In his past 12 games, Kempe has one goal on 34 SOG and is minus-six. After 49 games, Kempe had 25 goals and was well on his way to a 40-goal season. Now he has 26 goals and 11 assists in 61 games.

Mikael Granlund – Nashville

Granlund had a great first half with 36 points in the first 42 games and was on pace for his first 70-point season of his career. In the past 18 games, he has slowed down a little with only three goals and seven assists in those games, while being a minus-nine over the last nine games.

Luke Kunin – Nashville

In the past 18 games, Kunin only has one goal to show for it on 20 SOG, 58 hits and a minus-10 in that period. This is after 10 goals and eight assists in his first 44 games on 74 SOG and 131 hits. His ice time has gone from 15:13 a night to around 12:50.

Timo Meier – San Jose

Meier is still having a great season with 59 points after 57 games, but in his past 19 games, he has five goals, seven assists and is minus-15. Meier and the rest of the Sharks are struggling at even-strength.

Pavel Buchnevich – St. Louis

Buchnevich missed three games recently and has been back for two games. Over his past nine games before and after his injury, he has struggled with only one goal and one assist, 22 SOG and a minus-two. His season total has dipped below a point-per-game and is now at 19 goals and 28 assists in 52 games.

Conor Garland – Vancouver

One can't criticise the effort of Garland game in game out, but his OZ decision making seems to lack that last little bit to allow him to be a better point producer. He is a shoot-first player who wants to carry the puck a lot, but lacks a sniper's shot or elite passing.

He has only three assists in his past 11 games, with 26 SOG and is a minus-two. In his last 37 games, he has eight goals and 10 assists, which is less than 0.5 pts/game. 

Shea Theodore – Vegas

I don't recall Theodore struggling at any time for offence while being with Vegas. In his past 20 games he has only six assists, 40 SOG and is a minus-six. Before then he had eight goals and 23 assists in his first 40 games.

Chandler Stephenson – Vegas

After 38 points in his first 42 games, most people thought there would be a slow down. Stephenson hasn't disappointed with only eight points in his last 19 games. With injuries decimating Vegas, Stephenson hasn't lost icetime and has still set career-highs in goals with 15 and points with 46.
