Happy Tuesday y'all!

Last week, Dobber announced that his leukemia relapsed and he is now in round three of his fight. Please keep him and his family in your prayers and thoughts as he kicks its arse again! You're going to come back even stronger, Darryl!

Kevin Fiala took line rushes in practice for the LA Kings yesterday, according to Zach Dooley. The Swiss winger took lines with Quinton Byfield and Corey Perry as Alex Laferriere centered Artemi Panarin and Adrian Kempe. Fiala is available in over 70% of Yahoo leagues so if you can stash him on IR until he officially comes back, it may pay dividends rather quickly.

Erik Gustafsson is labeled day to day, and the coaching staff did not give an update so hopefully Brandt Clarke can regain that position on the top power-play unit, but they could look at a five-forward group as well with the potential return of Fiala.

The San Jose Sharks keep looking for the magic spoon to stir their power play. Alex Wennberg (3% owned) is back from injury and was handed his spot back on the first unit. The center really does not contribute much in any category unless your league counts blocks (even as a center who plays over 20 minutes a night, you want more from his faceoff numbers). In deeper leagues you'll want to add him as he has those power-play minutes, but this is a win/loss situation for Michael Misa. The 19-year-old lost that extra-man time, but was promoted to the top line at five on five with Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith. The former second overall pick fired five shots on goal with those two on Monday night and has registered five points in his last six games so I believe the coaching staff is hoping his heat finds Smith.

The New York Islanders are looking to get out of a funk and promoted Victor Eklund (5% owned in Yahoo) to their top power play last night against the Sharks and he scored with the extra man. The 2025 first rounder has three goals and four points in his last three games to go along with seven shots and 13 hits. With that power play tally, he is bound to earn more time with the extra man and more offensive minutes five on five.

Veterans Day/Remembrance Day is tomorrow, Wednesday, November 11, and I just have to give a quick shoutout to my brother, who served 20 years in the Marines, and every other service member who has fought for our country. Without them, we wouldn't be able to live the life that we are able to.

Looking at streaming options for this week, we have a lot of options to choose from because Tuesday is typically a packed schedule, but we only have seven games on the docket, enough to qualify it as a lite night.

The Nashville Predators are on a west coast road trip and have four games this week on our light nights, followed by the Vegas Golden Knights with three contests. A number of teams technically have two, but the Vancouver Canucks are the ones I'd look at as they, along with the previous two mentioned squads, play on Friday and Sunday.

From the Predators, I'm looking at Mavrik Bourque. I was big on him during the offseason, but he has been injured once this season and freezing cold to start. However, he is skating with the number one power-play unit and on the top line with Ryan O'Reilly and Steven Stamkos. With four games on four lite nights, the Canadian is only owned in 4% of Yahoo leagues and two of the Preds four opponents are bottom four in the league in goals against. If his breakout is coming, it should be on this road swing.
