Rookie Blue Streaming Uk

[Zoraida]

With three games on Wednesday, 10 on Thursday and five contests Friday, only the Avalanche and Bruins are idle until the weekend. Some team schedules amongst contenders appear friendlier (the Panthers face Columbus and Buffalo) than others (the Jets visit Dallas and Colorado), while the list of clubs designated for the spoiler role grows. It's a gig that several players/teams appear to relish, such as Montreal's Juraj Slafkovsky -- who seems determined to rack up as much scoring as possible before next Tuesday -- or members of San Jose's top line, Mikael Granlund and rookie William Eklund. Calgary's Nazem Kadri, a point-per-game player since before Christmas, is also going down swinging, as expected.

For many of these fierce competitors, just because they're out of it doesn't mean they're done. Don't shy away from turning to such fantasy skaters on non-playoff contenders -- Chicago's Philipp Kurashev also comes to mind -- as long as they remain in their respective lineups. There's a lot to appreciate about the freedom of playing loose as well.

Brayden Schenn, F, St. Louis Blues (Available in 84% of ESPN leagues): The Blues need to beat the Blackhawks on Wednesday to maintain any sliver-slim hope of snagging a playoff spot. I'm not sure that they do, but I still like Schenn's odds of contributing to the scoresheet. The veteran forward is in a groove, with four goals and an assist in his past four games.

Semyon Varlamov, G, New York Islanders (Available in 87% of ESPN leagues): Winner of five of his past six dating to March 23, the Islanders' backup is helping keep his club in the Eastern playoff race. With wins over the likes of the Rangers, Predators (a 41-save shutout), Panthers and Jets, Varlamov is unquestionably playing his finest between the pipes right now. We'll see if coach Patrick Roy opts to offer the veteran his third straight start versus the Canadiens on Thursday after Tuesday's impressive 32-save victory over the Rangers.

Kyle Palmieri, F, Islanders (Available in 88% of ESPN leagues): On the topic of jazzed-up veteran Islanders, Palmieri, historically an impactful rise-to-the-occasion guy, also deserves credit for his club's recent surge to the third spot in the Metropolitan. Skating on a scoring line and secondary power play, the winger is riding a three-game goal streak, strung together on 13 shots (also adding an assist). Four contests remain on the Isles' schedule, including meetings with the Canadiens, Rangers, Devils and Penguins.

Tyler Bertuzzi, F, Toronto Maple Leafs (Available in 48% of ESPN leagues): Following a minor scoring lull this past week, Auston Matthews' linemate erupted for two goals and a helper in Tuesday's win over New Jersey. Ahead of next week's tour through Florida to face the Panthers and Lightning, the Maple Leafs battle the Devils again before welcoming Bertuzzi's old Red Wings on Saturday.

New Jersey Devils: It's over. The math no longer works. Jack Hughes is settling in for season-ending shoulder surgery. After securing only three of a possible 12 points these past two weeks, the Devils play the Leafs (again), Flyers and Islanders to wrap up a disappointing 2023-24.

Philadelphia Flyers: Rock bottom is right. The Flyers are 1-6-3 since March 21, averaging only 2.30 goals per game while conceding 4.70. Tuesday's 9-3 loss to the Canadiens was deflatingly bad. Apart from a shot-blocking defender like Nick Seeler, Philadelphia isn't exactly teeming with attractive fantasy performers right now.

Calvin Pickard, G, Edmonton Oilers (Available in 87% of ESPN leagues): Edmonton's No. 2 could make for a smart streaming play versus Arizona on Friday ahead of Saturday's big tilt with Vancouver. The Oilers still have a shot at securing top spot in the Pacific.

Kevin Lankinen, G, Nashville Predators (Available in 99% of ESPN.com leagues): Toss out that one ugly showing versus the Avs, and Nashville's other netminder has been altogether solid since mid-February. Consider streaming Lankinen on Friday against his former club in Chicago or versus the Blue Jackets or Saturday, however the starts fall.

Hmmmmmm. Which Jets' forced turnover to highlight? Let's go with the first. After the Eagles churned out a 19-play, 91-yard TD drive to open the game, Jalen Hurts and company threatened to do so again, crossing midfield on five plays. On a third-and-8, Hurts beat the pressure with a screen toss to Dallas Goedert. Instead of a first down, Jermaine Johnson II popped the ball out directly to a hustling Quinnen Williams for the first of three Gang Green interceptions. The play provided juice to the Jets' defense and an indication of what would come.

The Falcons closed Washington's lead to seven at halftime and received the ball coming out of the break looking to get even. Kendall Fuller had other ideas. The Commanders' corner jumped an ill-advised Desmond Ridder pass for an interception -- the first of three for Washington -- and took the ball inside Atlanta's 30-yard-line. Two plays later, Sam Howell found Brian Robinson short, and the running back bulldozed his way to the end zone, stretching the lead to 14 they'd cling to the rest of the way.

With both offenses visiting StrugglesVille throughout the first half, the Vikings took to defense to pull away. Justin Fields was out of the game due to injury early in the third quarter, leaving undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent to take over under center. On the first drive of his career, Minnesota welcomed the quarterback as only a divisional rival can. On a blitz, safety Josh Metellus hogtied Bagent from behind, knocking the ball out. Linebacker Jordan Hicks scooped up the pigskin and scampered 42 yards for the touchdown.

In a game that lacked offensive artistry, the pre-halftime fireworks show gave the fans something to cheer. After a wild sequence with three punts in the final two minutes of the first half, the Chiefs had just enough time to move close enough for kicker Harrison Butker to line up for a 61-yard field-goal try. Amazingly, Butker banged it through almost halfway up the uprights. That was his second 60-plus yarder in his career, making him one of only seven kickers in NFL history with multiple makes from 60 or more.

The Green Bay Packers are signing quarterback Jordan Love to a four-year, $220 million contract extension that puts him in a tie for the highest-paid player in NFL history, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Friday.

It's that time of year again, when NFL players cast their votes to identify the best in the league heading into the 2024 NFL season. Which players joined Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff from Nos. 50-41?

Jackson, the reigning NFL AP Most Valuable Player, missed Friday's practice following a brief return in Wednesday's session. He has now missed four of the team's first five practices. Head coach John Harbaugh isn't alarmed though, underscoring that it's a sickness his quarterback is just working through.

With several wideouts disgruntled over slow contract talks, the Steelers are a name that always pops up as a potential trade partner. Pittsburgh GM Omar Khan said that nothing is currently in the works on the trade market.

Michael Badgley's season is over before it could get off the ground. The Lions announced Friday that the kicker was injured preparing for Thursday's practice. He will be placed on injured reserve and miss the 2024 season.

But before the season begins -- or, at least the season for 26 of the 30 big league teams -- let's take a look back at what transpired during spring training. What changed? Are there any nuggets, especially in the resolution of those position battles, which might help fantasy owners with either an upcoming draft or an add/drop deadline? Value is always changing.

Jason Heyward, OF, Atlanta Braves: Here's as good an example as any of how spring statistics can be manipulated. Everyone talks about his .227 batting average, four walks and 22 strikeouts, but what if I told you this: He was a .143/.200/.179 hitter with a 33.3 percent K rate in his first nine Grapefruit League games, but a .277/.314/.553 hitter with a 23.5 percent K rate in his last 15? Ultimately, Heyward's swing looks improved, as the homer total demonstrates his ability to hit for power, and he's showing an ability to drive the ball to all fields, something that wasn't as easy for him during his down 2011. There isn't enough here to say Heyward will have a massive breakout season, but expecting a return to his 2010 performance level is reasonable.

Adam Wainwright, SP, St. Louis Cardinals: The 1.45 spring ERA in five starts will grab you, but I maintain that Wainwright has yet to show the kind of command, especially of his curveball, that earned him a third-place finish in the 2009 National League Cy Young balloting, and second place in the 2010 race. Just listen to his own assessment of his final spring tune-up, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "It was very vanilla, very bland. My breaking balls weren't sharp. My fastballs weren't located. That is not a good combination."
