All eyes on East Rutherford this weekend, as the NHL’s Stadium Series first pits the Philadelphia Flyers against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday, before the New York Rangers and New York Islanders face off Sunday. With just a bit of snow anticipated Saturday morning, and near-ideal temperatures for outdoor play expected all weekend, fans in attendance and those of us at home are in for a treat.

Not that invested fantasy managers need much encouragement in slotting him into their lineups, but Jack Hughes appears poised to shine on the big stage Saturday. After suffering Thursday’s frustrating loss to the Kings, in which he was visibly peeved, the Devils’ star is likely to put on a show. Much more available in ESPN Fantasy leagues, Ondrej Palat should be sufficiently recovered from this week’s illness to serve as top-six scoring threat on a line with Nico Hischier and Jesper Bratt. Goalie Nico Daws has allowed only five total goals in his past three appearances. One the Flyers’ side of the puck, Travis Konecny has been absolutely sizzling of late, while shot-blocking machine Nick Seeler – averaging 2.3 fantasy points/game this past month – presents as a largely available asset in the ESPN game.
Sunday afternoon, the Rangers will endeavor to win their seventh-straight when they face the Islanders for the first time this campaign. Beyond New York’s top-class of fantasy characters, forward Jimmy Vesey could serve as a dark horse within the top-six if Blake Wheeler – injured Thursday – isn’t able to suit up. Isles veteran Kyle Palmieri – riding a six-game point streak – is one of my favorite sleeper commodities altogether this weekend.
