Fantasy hockey rest-of-season rankings: Pickups, rankings shuffle after Draisaitl, Matthews injuries

Fantasy managers got hit hard down the stretch with the season-ending injuries to Leon Draisaitl and Auston Matthews. That makes every roster move in the final weeks even more critical. Alexis Lafreniere and Jimmy Snuggerud aren’t one-to-one replacements, but the right pickups over the next month could keep you in contention. Stay active, stay alert, the finish line is coming fast.

These rankings are based on expectations of fantasy points produced from Friday, March 20, until the end of the season.

Skaters: goals = 2 points; assists = 1 point; shots and hits = 0.1 points
blocked shots and special teams points = 0.5 points

Goaltenders: wins = 4 points; OT losses = 1 point; shutouts = 3 points
saves = 0.2 points; goals against = -2 points
