New York Islanders -- Forward Jordan Eberle (C/RW, 24 percent owned) has 10 points (five goals, five assists), four on the power play, in his past 11 games skating mostly on the top line with left wing Anders Lee and center Brock Nelson. Eberle has become a must-own forward in standard leagues with exposure to elite center Mathew Barzal on the top power-play unit. Lee has 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) and is plus-12 in the past 16 games and has nearly reached his assist total from last season (22) with 19 through 46 games.
Defenseman Nick Leddy has joined NHL.com's top 200, one of eight Islanders on the list, with eight assists, four on the power play, over his past 10 games. Goalie Robin Lehner has been dominant over his past 11 games, going 10-1-0 with a .950 save percentage and one shutout.
Carolina Hurricanes -- Wing Nino Niederreiter (LW/RW, 24 percent owned) was acquired by the Hurricanes on Thursday and has renewed upside in season-long leagues with potential exposure to forwards Sebastian Aho, Teuvo Teravainen and/or Andrei Svechnikov. Niederreiter has 23 points (nine goals, 14 assists) in 46 games this season but three points (two goals, one assist) over his past three games and could build on that recent success with his new team.
Right wing Justin Williams (16 percent owned) has six goals, three on the power play, in the past eight games and could potentially skate with Niederreiter at even strength. Defenseman Jaccob Slavin (5 percent owned) has joined the fantasy top 50 at his position and is worth streaming in deep leagues with five points (two goals, three assists) in his past seven games. If the Hurricanes get consistent goaltending from either Petr Mrazek or Curtis McElhinney, they'll have an even higher ceiling.
