The Most SURPRISING & DISAPPOINTING 2026 Fantasy Hockey Players
Description
Fantasy hockey’s biggest surprises and setbacks shape this season’s playoff race. Mika Zibanejad delivers elite value for the New York Rangers, despite the team’s struggles, while Brandon Bussi emerges as a game-changer for the Carolina Hurricanes. Nick Schmaltz and Charlie Coyle confound expectations with hot streaks and career-best numbers, forcing fantasy GMs to reconsider their sleeper picks. The hosts spotlight Utah Mammoths’ surging offense and Tampa Bay Lightning’s Darren Raddysh as potential league winners.
Disappointment looms large for Philadelphia Flyers’ Matvei Michkov and Florida Panthers’ Sergei Bobrovsky, whose drop-offs raise tough questions about rookie deployment and veteran fatigue. Anthony Stolarz and Thomas Harley join the list of underperformers, sparking debate about investment risks and keeper strategies. Can Bobrovsky rebound, or will the Panthers miss the playoffs? Steele Rodin and Flip Livingstone break down the ripple effects on fantasy rosters and offer decisive advice for capitalizing before the Olympic break.
