Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Gems: Snuggerud, Wennberg, Hutson Lead Edge-Backed Additions

With the NHL season winding down, fantasy managers need to act fast. The waiver wire is loaded with players producing at a high level, especially with the help of NHL EDGE stats. From rising rookies to savvy veterans, here are the top 10 pickups to boost your roster ahead of the playoffs.

Jimmy Snuggerud is making a case for fantasy relevance. The St. Louis rookie is fourth in rookie points with 43 and leads in game-winning goals with five. His line with Robert Thomas and Dylan Holloway has been dominant, and the Blues have gone 12-3-3 since March. Snuggerud ranks among forwards in hardest shot and high-danger scoring, making him a must-add for those needing a spark.

Alexander Wennberg is another standout. The San Jose forward is on a seven-game point streak with nine points (5G/4A) and ranks second on the team in assists. He’s also scoring 13 of his 18 goals from high-danger areas. With six games remaining, Wennberg is a high-upside addition for those chasing a playoff spot.

Washington’s Connor McMichael is heating up at the right time. He’s produced seven points (2G/5A) in his past six games and ranks among forwards in hardest shot and max skating speed. Ilya Protas, who is set to make his NHL debut with Aliaksei Protas and Tom Wilson, adds intriguing upside for fantasy managers.

Jack Quinn of the Buffalo Sabres is quietly having a career year. He’s scored 19 goals and 50 points, with 29 shots on goal in his last six games. Quinn’s line with Ryan Leonard and Pierre-Luc Dubois is a consistent source of production.

Porter Martone is a breakout candidate. The Philadelphia rookie has four points in his first five games and ranks among forwards in offensive zone time. His line with Travis Konecny and Christian Dvorak could get even more attention as the Flyers push for the playoffs.

Dmitry Orlov is a defensive gem for San Jose. He leads the team in assists and power-play points and ranks among defensemen in skating distance and offensive zone time. With six games left, Orlov is a must-add for fantasy managers looking for late-game production.

Cole Hutson is making an immediate impact for Washington. The rookie has seven points in 10 games and ranks among defensemen in max skating speed and offensive zone time. With three games this week, Hutson is a solid pickup for those needing a boost.

Arturs Silovs is a top goalie to consider. The Pittsburgh rookie has won 19 games this season and is on a three-game winning streak. With Stuart Skinner sidelined, Silovs could be the starter in key matchups as the Penguins push for the playoffs.

The next step for fantasy managers is to act quickly. With key matchups and limited games left, these players offer a clear boost for rosters. Add them now and position your team for a deep playoff run.
