NHL Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Skater Pickups March 20 - Olivier and Rust The Ones To Target in Sole Game Friday
On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies are rostered in less than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and can be selected in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.
FORWARDS:
Mathieu Olivier, RW, CLM @ PIT (21% rostered)
Olivier, despite being shut out Thursday as Columbus failed to tally at all, has six goals on 25 shots and two assists over his last 10 outings. That hot streak has given Olivier 16 markers and 10 apples in 68 outings, leaving one point shy of matching his total from 2022-23 and 2023-24 combined. Add in 250 hits and 68 blocked shots and you have a third-line stat stuffer who is value in just about all formats.
Bryan Rust, RW, PIT vs. CLM (42% rostered)
Rust doesn't generate a lot of publicity and using goes later in leagues than he should. But he has been remarkably consistent the last six seasons, scoring between 42 and 58 points. Rust is on the verge of reaching the 50-point plateau for the fourth time in his career, as has 49 points (22 goals, 27 helpers) through 57 games this season. He has an outside shot of exceeding his prior career-high of 58 points set in 2021-22.
DEFENSEMEN:
Connor Timmins, PIT vs. CLM (1% rostered)
Timmins is certainly not known for his offense, but he has picked it up on that end of the ice. He has notched a goal and three assists his last three contests, upping his season-marks to three and nine. Those 12 points leave Timmins just two points shy of his career high set in 2022-23 whe he played for Arizona and Pittsburgh. He benefits from skating opposite Kris Letang, which aids his offensive chances.
