Waiver wire options available for fantasy hockey managers

Fantasy hockey managers can find valuable players on waiver wires this week. Notable pickups include Quinton Byfield, Nick Schmaltz, and Casey Mittelstadt, who are performing well and have favorable matchups ahead. The Detroit Red Wings have a limited schedule, playing only two games this week, while teams like the Bruins and Lightning have four games. Managers should consider optimizing their lineups based on these schedules. Defenseman Luke Hughes is a strong option after a productive stretch, while goaltenders Pyotr Kochetkov and Sam Montembeault are also recommended due to their recent performances.
