With the NHL season resuming after the Olympic break, fantasy managers should target Lukas Dostal and Alex Laferriere as key pickups. Dostal, the Anaheim Ducks goaltender, posted a 1.64 FPP60 in his last nine appearances before heading to the Czechia crease in Milan. His strong Olympic showing positions him for a productive homestand against Western Canadian clubs.

Laferriere's fantasy value gets a significant boost with the season-ending injury to Kevin Fiala. The Los Angeles Kings forward is set to debut on a top line with Adrian Kempe and newly acquired Artemi Panarin. If this trio clicks, Laferriere transitions from streaming option to must-roster player in standard formats. His 1.6 FPPG already shows promise.

Other notable pickups include Anthony Duclair of the New York Islanders, who posted 13 points in 13 games during January before some benchings, and Pierre-Luc Dubois of the Washington Capitals, returning from injury with two points in his pre-Olympic appearance. Defensemen Neal Pionk and Uvis Balinskis offer streaming potential, with Balinskis stepping into a power-play role for the Florida Panthers while Seth Jones remains unavailable.
