SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

Today is November 13th. New York Rangers News Today starts now. AI powered and ready for kickoff. Alright, so we've got some juicy updates in the fantasy hockey world as we roll into the weekend. First up, Kevin Fiala is back with the Los Angeles Kings. He made his season debut against the Islanders after a tough injury from the Olympics. He grabbed an assist right off the bat, which is a nice sign. He's rostered in 34% of Yahoo! leagues and could be that debt score you need, especially on a team looking to boost its offensive game. Then there's Tye Kartey from the New York Rangers. This dude's been on fire lately, scoring 3 goals in his last 4 games. He's moving all around the lineup and averaging nearly 20 minutes of ice time per game. Plus, he's rostered in only 22% of Yahoo! leagues, so he might be a sneaky ad if you're in need of some scoring and hits, especially in multi-category leagues. That flexibility is definitely a plus.

Over with the San Jose Sharks. Keep an eye on Eric Pohlkamp. He's been a little quiet with just five games played, but he's got two assists and has shown some promise on the third pairing.

If you're in a deep league and defenses are sparse, Pohlkamp might be a solid streaming option this weekend. The Sharks' back-to-back games could be a chance for him to step up, for sure. The Winnipeg Jets had a wild turnaround after struggling through a nine-game losing streak. They crushed the Stars 8-3 after a wake-up call from the captain and coach. Cole Perfetti is standing out with 18 points in 20 games and it's time to get him rostered if you haven't yet. He's dominating shot attempts and expected goals metrics, suggesting this breakout season is no fluke.

Finally, don't sleep on Dawson Mercer and Brayden Yager. Both are finding some rhythm, but they still need to prove themselves consistently. The Jets' new scoring line might be the spark they need to unlock some potential. Definitely something to watch as the weekend rolls in.
