NHL Waiver Wire Adds: 11/06 to 11/12
I will be looking for players who have possibly been moved up in the lineup, have a favorable schedule this week, or might be getting a boost because of injury.
DISCLOSURE: Make sure to monitor the NHL news feeds for the latest player status and injury news.
NHL Waiver Wire Goalies
Jake Allen
Opponents this week - Vancouver, Calgary, Vegas, Boston
Allen is currently only on the roster in 16% of ESPN leagues. However, he has three starts scheduled for this week, which makes him a viable option as a spot starter despite facing tough opponents in Vegas and Boston later in the week. If you own Gibson, Allen could also be a good backup option. He has played well on the road this season, with a record of 1-1-1 and a save percentage of .921. Additionally, he has faced 35 or more shots per start, which could be beneficial if your league includes saves in the scoring.
Other options
- Lukas Dostal- 17.9% rostered ESPN
NHL Waiver Wire Forwards
Opponents - Vegas, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia
Surprisingly, Moore is only rostered in 24.7% of ESPN leagues. In 11 games this season, he has scored six goals and assisted five times, totaling 11 points. Additionally, he's averaging more than three shots per game. Given his impressive performance and the Kings' current good form and confidence, it's a no-brainer to add Moore to your team.

NHL Waiver Wire Defensemen
Opponents - Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, San Jose
Mintyukov, a young defenseman for the Ducks, is an exciting player to watch. Currently, he is only rostered in 24.5% of ESPN leagues. In the 10 games he has played so far this season, he has scored one goal and provided six assists. What's more impressive is that he has recorded 16 shots on goal and 16 blocked shots. This is exactly the kind of performance we want from our defensemen in fantasy, as it shows their capability of scoring points in multiple ways.
