Steve Stamkos has come alive in recent weeks.

With less than 20 games remaining in the NHL regular season, fantasy teams will be looking for some players that can give them a late push.  Here are some players to add to your squad that have been performing very well the past 30 days and will likely be available in most leagues.

 

Tobias Enstrom- Atl: Enstrom was coming off of a nice rookie season and was likely selected as a fifth or sixth defenseman in some leagues.  However, with the acquisitions of Ron Hainsey and Mathieu Schneider, he had to play more of a defensive role and his numbers struggled.  With the recent departure of Schneider and Niclas Havelid, Enstrom has been given more playing time and has been cashing in.

 

Tuomo Ruutu- Car: Ruutu has picked up his game lately with 13 points in the past 14 games.  He is clicking with his linemates and is getting prime power play time.  A must add for down the stretch.

 

Todd White- Atl: White has had a good offensive year and has picked it up recently thanks to the resurgence of Ilya Kovalchuk (24 points in the past 12 games).  In the past 30 days, White has scored 13 points in 12 games while going a plus-3.

 

Steve Stamkos- TB: After struggling in the first half of the season, Stamkos has gotten his legs in shape and is getting accustomed to the NHL.  It has been a slow process for the much heralded rookie, but he has come alive in the past 13 games by scoring eight goals and four assists with three power play goals.

 

Pavel Kubina- Tor: Kubina might be available in some leagues and if he is available in yours, I recommend picking him up.  With 13 points in the past 13 games, Kubina should finish out the season in good fashion and add some help to your backline scoring.

 

Sean Bergenheim- NYI: We highlighted Bergenheim a few weeks ago as a player to add to your squad and he has not disappointed.  In the past month, he has notched seven goals and 10 points in 14 games.  Check his injury status though, as it appears he may have tweaked his groin in the last game.

 

David Clarkson- NJ: If you are in need of some penalty minutes with a sprinkling of offensive points, then Clarkson is your man.  He has scored seven points in the past 12 games for the Devils with 28 penalty minutes.

 

Radek Dvorak/Richard Zednik- Fla: Both of these Panthers have come alive lately as Florida tries to make a playoff push.  Dvorak has seven points in the last 14 games while Zednik has tallied six goals and nine points in those 14 games.

 

Chuck Kobasew- Bos: Kobasew has heated up since returning from an injury and has scored five goals and seven assists in the past 11 games he has played in.  He may be overlooked in most leagues but can finish strongly down the stretch.

 

Rich Peverley- Atl: Peverley has been solid lately with six goals and 11 points in the last 12 games.  He is playing on the power play and has a nice plus-11 in those 12 games.
