Looking For A 'Sleeper' In Your Fantasy League?

from the NHL Fantasy Staff at NHL.com,

NOTES: Sleepers are players taken in the late rounds who can vastly outperform their average draft position (ADP). … The following factors were taken into consideration when selecting each skater: potential linemates, past production and power-play exposure; for goalies: expected start volume, wins and save percentage.

Anaheim Ducks: Forward Max Comtois (LW/RW; undrafted on average in fantasy) has been productive at the NHL level and scored 24 points (nine goals, 15 assists) in 31 games for San Diego of the American Hockey League last season. Comtois could be part of the youth movement in Anaheim's forward group with rookie center Trevor Zegras and is an underrated fantasy target in keeper and dynasty leagues. -- Pete Jensen

Arizona Coyotes: Forward Conor Garland (LW/RW; undrafted on average in fantasy) led the Coyotes with 22 goals in 68 games last season and had 158 shots on goal, tied with Derek Stepan (now with Ottawa Senators) for their second-most behind Clayton Keller's 184. Garland is likely to maintain his top-six role and could increase his goal and power-play point totals with a consistent spot on the first unit (10 PPP last season). Garland could return value in deeper leagues or off the fantasy waiver wire playing for Arizona, which is an overlooked team in fantasy. -- Rob Reese
