We may have a small sample size, but it’s the point in the season where buy low fantasy hockey players can set your team up for success. Some big names are underperforming to start the season, and sharp fantasy managers can take advantage of that and make a deal to get them at a better price than where they were drafted. Let’s dive into some of the best buy low candidates to check in on in Week 3.<\/p>\n
With no points in seven games so far, Zach Hyman<\/a> is having his worst October of hockey since the 2016-17 season where he registered just one assist in nine games. That is the bad news. The good news is he is still getting good deployment in Edmonton averaging 19:56 TOI and over four minutes a night of power-play time.<\/span><\/p>\n Hyman\u2019s on-ice shot attempts for is 61.3%<\/a>, the highest so far in his career. He is also getting a career-high 72.9% of faceoffs in the offensive zone, setting him up for good offensive chances. In his last three games, Hyman has registered 12 shots on goal, which shows that he still has a shooting mentality.<\/span><\/p>\n In the Oilers latest practice, head coach Kris Knoblauch has been looking to switch things up. As a result, Hyman was taking reps with the second power play unit, but this may be temporary to light a fire under him. He is still in a great situation playing with Connor McDavid<\/a> to bounce back and help your fantasy team win a Championship, if you can get him at a lower price.<\/span><\/p>\n PP1 at Oilers practice: PP2: — Daniel Nugent-Bowman (@DNBsports) October 23, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
