Week 18 of the fantasy season is back to business as usual following the two-week-long Week 17 that incorporated the all-star break as well as extended layoffs for some teams.

The week starts out with all 32 teams getting at least a game in through Wednesday thanks to a busy, 11-game Tuesday slate.

The Arizona Coyotes, New Jersey Devils, Minnesota Wild and Seattle Kraken all get two games in during the first three days of the week.

If you are setting a weekly lineup, lean on the Coyotes, Devils and Los Angeles Kings, as they have four-game weeks on tap. The Vegas Golden Knights, New York Islanders, Winnipeg Jets, Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets only play twice in Week 18.

Stock up

Teuvo Teravainen, W, Carolina Hurricanes (64.4% available): Some big signs of life from Teravainen this week was followed by the return of Andrei Svechnikov in the next game. Sure enough, Teravainen played with Sebastian Aho and Svechnikov, which is about a plum spot as exists in the Hurricanes offense. Teravainen has been quiet since his fast start, but the good times tend to roll when he’s hot.

Lucas Raymond, W, Detroit Red Wings (63.2% available): Raymond finished out the game after taking a head shot from Nikita Zadorov on Saturday, which is a major positive as he’s had some swagger in his game lately. With 1.91 FPPG across his past 10, Raymond is holding down the wing with Dylan Larkin and Alex DeBrincat. Patrick Kane returning to the lineup gives the opposition some additional distraction, too.
