Fantasy: 5 moves you need to make in Week 17

Every Monday, theScore offers a weekly fantasy hockey column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 17. Ownership percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.

Add Kailer Yamamoto

Team: Oilers
Position: RW
Ownership: 9%

Yamamoto has been sensational since his recall from the AHL on Dec. 29, tallying 10 points in 11 games. He's been clicking lately while playing alongside Leon Draisaitl and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. As long as that trio stays together, Yamamoto - a first-round pick in 2017 - should remain fantasy relevant.

Buy low on Tyler Seguin

Team: Stars
Position: C/RW
Ownership: 99%

If there's ever been a time to buy low on Seguin, it's now. The Stars forward hasn't scored in 12 games, dropping his season shooting percentage to a career-low 6%. Seguin, who has recorded just 11 goals this season, is simply too good to stay cold for much longer. Expect him to fill the net down the stretch.

Add Brendan Lemieux

Team: Rangers
Position: LW
Ownership: 6%

If your league rewards players for hits and/or penalty minutes, add Lemieux immediately. The son of four-time Stanley Cup champion and ultimate pest Claude Lemieux, Brendan's playing style is similar to his old man's approach.

When Chris Kreider left the Rangers' game on Saturday after taking a knee to the head, Lemieux was promoted to the first line. If Kreider - who's listed as day-to-day - misses any time this week, Lemieux could continue to replace him on the top line.

If Lemieux's skill set doesn't fit well in your league, it's still worth looking into adding another Rangers player - perhaps Pavel Buchnevich (8% owned), Adam Fox (41%), or Jesper Fast (2%). New York will play a league-high four contests over the next seven days, but none of those games occur on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday - the busiest nights of the week. That will ensure you can get your freshly added player into your lineup for all four games.

Add James Reimer

Team: Hurricanes
Position: G
Ownership: 30%

Reimer is still somehow available in 70% of leagues despite playing like a No. 1 goalie for the Hurricanes. Teammate Petr Mrazek has received more starts, but it's clear from the stats who the superior netminder is.

Reimer's been especially hot of late, posting a .957 save percentage over his last four games. Expect the Canes to lean on the veteran down the stretch as they fight for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

Add Nick Suzuki

Team: Canadiens
Position: C/RW
Ownership: 17%

Suzuki's been forced into more minutes with the Habs decimated by injuries up front, and he's excelled with more on his plate. In his first 34 games, the rookie recorded 15 points while averaging 14:36 of ice time. In 20 games since, he's racked up 18 points while logging 17:48 per night.

The 2017 first-rounder - who was acquired by Montreal in the Max Pacioretty trade - is currently riding a four-game point streak and getting time on the club's top power-play unit. If the Canadiens sell at the deadline, it could mean even more minutes for Suzuki the rest of the way.
