NHL Waiver Wire Adds: 11/27 to 12/03
As I analyze the available players for your team, I will pay close attention to those who have potentially been promoted in the lineup, either due to their excellent performance or because of a teammate's injury.
Additionally, I will consider players who have an advantageous schedule this week, meaning they are facing weaker opponents or playing in favorable conditions. Lastly, I will keep an eye out for players who could be receiving a boost from an injury, whether it's their own or their teammates, as this could increase their playing time and overall performance.
DISCLOSURE: Make sure to monitor the NHL news feeds for the latest player status and injury news.
NHL Waiver Wire Goalies
Jonathan Quick
Opponents this week - Buffalo, Detroit, San Jose
Quick is rostered in 32.3% of ESPN leagues
The recent success of Quicks has led many to question the sustainability of his performance. While it's fair to wonder if he can keep it up, there are other important factors to consider. For instance, if you need a goalie to fill in for an injured or suspended player on your team, Quick could be a great option. Alternatively, if you already have Shesterkin on your roster, adding Quick could provide valuable depth and flexibility at the goalie position.
Other options
- Charlie Lindgren- 14.2% rostered ESPN
NHL Waiver Wire Forwards
Opponents - Columbus, San Jose, Toronto, Columbus
Coyle is currently rostered in 39.2% of ESPN leagues
Coyle is an outstanding player who is currently being overlooked by many fantasy team owners. Despite being the second-line center on one of the league's top teams, his roster percentage is surprisingly low. Coyle has a point-per-game record, which is a testament to his offensive skills. However, he's not just a scorer; he is also an excellent defensive player who can hit, shoot, and block shots. Therefore, adding him to your fantasy team is a no-brainer.
Charlie Coyle.
Rock solid, reliable, all rounder, power forward putting up a point per game on the second line. And he is super reliable on defense after 2 excellent seasons on 3rd line. He's not gonna get noticed like McDavid, but he's the kind of guy that wins Cups IMHO. pic.twitter.com/XVziHP25Aj

NHL Waiver Wire Defensemen
Opponents - Carolina, New Jersey, Pittsburgh
Walker is rostered in 19% of ESPN league
Walker is a highly skilled defenseman who is capable of contributing to your fantasy team in various ways. One of his strengths is his ability to anchor the point on the second power play unit, which can be invaluable for a team in need of extra scoring opportunities. He also kills penalties. In addition to his defensive abilities, he's also a solid contributor in terms of offensive production. With 10 points to his name, he has the ability to put up points on the board and make an impact on the game. Furthermore, he averages an impressive 5 shots, blocks, and hits per game, which shows his willingness to put his body on the line and do the dirty work necessary for a successful team. If you're struggling with injuries or have a weak blue line, adding Walker to your team could be a smart move.
