Sleeper Picks

Evander Kane (LW) - Edmonton Oilers

• Kane missed the entire 2024-25 regular season due to injury, but he’s returned for the playoffs and made a significant impact. Through 15 postseason games, he’s registered 5 goals and 11 points. His physical style and ability to contribute offensively make him a valuable depth add, especially in leagues that reward hits and penalty minutes. With Zach Hyman out, Kane’s role and ice time could increase, boosting his fantasy ceiling 

Corey Perry (RW) - Edmonton Oilers

• Perry has been a surprising source of depth scoring, notching his seventh playoff goal in the Conference Final—setting a record for most playoff goals by a player over 39. He’s a proven playoff performer with a knack for net-front presence on the power play. Perry’s experience and recent scoring touch make him a sneaky add if you need a winger who can chip in goals and power-play points 

Sam Bennett (C) - Florida Panthers

• Bennett is a classic playoff riser. While overshadowed by Florida’s top stars, he consistently elevates his game in the postseason, providing secondary scoring and grit. He’s often deployed in high-leverage situations and is known for clutch goals. Bennett is a strong option if you need a center who can contribute across categories, especially goals and hits 

Gustav Forsling (D) - Florida Panthers

• Forsling anchors the Panthers’ top defensive pair and has quietly produced strong numbers in both ends. He logs heavy minutes, contributes to both special teams, and is capable of chipping in with assists and blocked shots. Forsling’s two-way play and increased playoff scoring rate make him a valuable blue-line sleeper for the Finals
