It’s the New Jersey Devils vs Washington Capitals this Sunday night on NBCSN as Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals host Janne Kuokkanen and the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena. Puck drop is at 7:00 p.m. ET. Live coverage begins at 6:00 p.m. ET with NHL Live.

The fact that he’s rolling at a similar pace in 2021 isn’t shocking, but him outscoring Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and everyone else on the team is what got him on my list. The 28-year-old is rostered in 66 percent of Yahoo Leagues right now. If he’s on your waiver wire, you should look at picking him up.Vancouver Canucks

If you happen to be dealing in the extremes, then an argument could be made. Would I consider trying to offload Elias Pettersson (38 games left), who is struggling anyway, for Jack Hughes (47 games left)? Absolutely -- especially if my fantasy team was struggling.
