Oettinger has been taking advantage of the opportunity with some solid play — especially lately, with a .944 save percentage in April so far. His fine performances are helping him make a claim as the goalie of the future in Dallas and a worthy picking up as a second goalie for the remainder of the season.

Now he’s back to seeing nice minutes periodically, and he’s responded with double digit points in two of the last three while adding six dimes, two boards and a steal on Wednesday. Wanamaker followed that up Friday with six points, three boards, two steals and a team-high seven dimes.

Well, we’re back to give him some more love for deeper NL-only leagues, but it’s important to note that he won’t be in action until Monday given the Nats’ Covid situation. Harrison is capable of delivering a solid BA, putting up some nice run and ribbie numbers and offering decent power and speed. His extra-base pop bounced back somewhat last season, so we’ll have to see if he can carry that into 2021 given the opportunity he has at the outset of the campaign.

However, thanks to injuries and trades, he suddenly finds himself as the last man left standing in the Buffalo crease, so if you’re super desperate for a starting goalie in a very deep league, this is your man. Tokarski has started back-to-back games for the Sabres, and he looked better on Thursday, so perhaps there’s hope. It’s been five years since he last played an NHL game before this run, so you’ve got to figure this is his final shot… so if nothing else, the incentive is there for him.

Wow, Martin has really been a revelation since coming up from the G-League, giving distraught Rockets’ fans some hope for the future. On Wednesday, the rookie just missed his second double-double in four games, and he’s been jacking it up from downtown far more often this month. Taken 52nd overall in last year’s draft, Martin has arrived as a legitimate Fantasy asset, so if he’s still available in your league, do something about it. Now!

Raanta was perfect in relief after Kuemper got hurt Monday and then played brilliantly on Wednesday, keeping his team in a game that should have been a blowout loss. It’s been a rough start to the season for Raanta, but he has a glorious opportunity to right the ship now.

The former Piston is coming off the bench a bit more in his first season with the Nets, and overall his performance has dipped. But lately, Brown has been on fire, scoring at least 13 points in six straight while consistently flirting with double-doubles and even a potential triple dub on Wednesday (17 points, eight boards, seven assists). Toss in his efficient shooting of late and he makes for a very nice pickup.
