NHL Waiver Wire Adds: 12/11 to 12/17

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 favourable 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

Charlie Lindgren

Opponents this week - Philadelphia, Nashville, Carolina

Lindgren is rostered in 12.9% of ESPN leagues

The Washington Capitals have recently changed their starting goaltender, with Lindgren taking over the position from Keumper. This decision was made due to Keumper's recent struggles. Lindgren has proven to be a reliable and effective goalie, providing the Caps with the best chance to win every game. If you're looking to improve your team's chances, it's recommended to add Lindgren to your roster as soon as possible.

Zetterlund is currently rostered in 4.9% of ESPN leagues

One of the players the Sharks received in the Meier trade, Zetterlund, has now been placed on the Sharks' improved second line. In his last four games, he has managed to score two goals and provide one assist and has taken 13 shots in total. This indicates that he has the potential to score more goals in the future. If you are in a deeper league or struggling with injuries, Zetterlund could be a great addition to your lineup, providing both depth and potential.

Opponents - Colorado, Vegas, Minnesota, Tampa Bay

Tanev is rostered in 3.0% of ESPN leagues

"I am mentioning Tanev here because there is a chance that he will be traded to a top-performing team. He is an excellent shot-blocker and sometimes contributes with points. If he is traded to a team like the Maple Leafs, his potential could increase significantly, and he will be in high demand. If you are in a deeper league, it is advisable to add him to your team now. Either way, keep an eye on him."
