Ryan Hartman Producing in New Uniform
7 years agoNashville Predators winger Ryan Hartman (9 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) now has two points, four shots, and two hits in two games since being traded from the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. In his first game in a Preds' uniform in Winnipeg on Tuesday, Hartman lit the lamp with the game-winning goal and added an assist in Edmonton on Thursday. While the tenacious winger has yet to take a step forward following an impressive rookie season last year, he could really benefit from the change of scenery coming over to one of the Western Conference's top teams. Hartman may be a sneaky pickup down the stretch for fantasy owners, especially those in hits leagues (he has 100 hits in 57 games). It will be important to monitor his usage over the next few weeks to see if he grabs more ice time and cements himself in Nashville’s top-six forward group. In the meantime, Hartman could provide streamer value to close out the week with games in Vancouver on Friday and Colorado on Sunday.
