In the last two weeks, Graves has 3 points, 20 SOG, 23 blocks, 1 GWG, and a +4 rating, which makes him the 29th-ranked defenseman overall in that timespan.

Sam Girard

Girard has 6 assists, 1 PPP, 1 GWG, 10 SOG, 10 hits, and 13 blocks in the last two weeks and has been tremendous for Colorado. Girard is owned in 26% of fantasy leagues, so he might not be available, but if he is, you may want to pick him up.

Adam Boqvist

Adam Boqvist is finally showing flashes of what made him a high pick back in the 2018 draft, so much so he was selected over the likes of Noah Dobson and K'Andre Miller. After missing a large chunk of the season due to injury, Adam Boqvist has played great as of late, putting up 2 goals, 3 assists, 3 PPP, 10 SOG, 1 GWG and a +1 rating. Boqvist is owned in 10% of fantasy leagues, if you need a player who can chip in occasionally on the man advantage, he isn't a bad option.

Jake McCabe

One of the most underrated players all season long has been Jake McCabe; in fact, he has been one of the few bright spots on the team. McCabe has 2 goals, 17 assists, 119 hits, 114 blocks, and a +5 rating, and in the past two weeks, he has 5 assists, 12 SOG, 19 hits, 16 blocks, He is owned in only 9% of fantasy leagues, so if you are in a banger league, he is a player who could end up winning your league.

Michael Matheson

Michael Matheson has been fantastic for the Montreal Canadiens in the last two weeks, he has 2 goals, 4 assists, 1 PPP, 10 hits, 13 blocks, and a +6 rating. Since Montreal isn't that great right now, Matheson is getting the chance to play top pair minutes and even gets time on the 1st PP unit. Matheson is owned in 9% of fantasy leagues, so if he is still available, he could be a decent pickup.
