The final weekend of the NHL’s regular season features five games Friday, 13 Saturday, and only four on Sunday. In these waning days of fantasy competition, the flexibility to activate players when most of the league is silent is more important than ever.
After a couple of days off, the Hurricanes visit the Blues Friday then Blackhawks Sunday, while the Predators face those same ‘Hawks Friday and the Blue Jackets on Saturday. Some appealing fantasy matchups there. Calgary stops in Anaheim Friday before welcoming the Coyotes Sunday. While Nazem Kadri probably isn’t available in your league, one of his valuable linemates – listed below – very well might be. Desperate for every ‘W’ available, Vegas faces off with the Wild on Friday and Colorado to wrap the weekend.

At this stage, it’s also worth noting which clubs have fewer games left altogether. The Panthers, Stars, Rangers, Flyers, Devils, Sabres, and Blue Jackets only play twice more before we put a bow on 2023-24. Which means it might be time to outright jettison all but your highest functioning fantasy stars from those sides. In contrast, the Golden Knights, Wild, Kraken, Flames, and Blackhawks play four more games, while the Oilers face five concluding contests.
Which means, yes, releasing a more prominent fantasy performer like Rangers’ forward Vincent Trocheck for, say, Chicago’s Philipp Kurashev, could make very sound sense in the here and now. When playing the schedule is crucial to victory.
