NHL Weekly Sleepers (3/1)

Heading into this week, I have three sleepers for you that will change the shape and direction of your fantasy season.  One is riding a sacred hot streak, while the other two are walking into golden opportunities caused by injuries.  Look for all three to be absolutely dominant this week.

David Krejci - C, Boston Bruins:  The Bruins 2nd round choice in the 2004 NHL entry draft didn't do much in his first 41 games in the NHL, despite netting 74 points over 69 games last year in the AHL.  Over the past three games, however; he's been riding quite the hot streak, having scored a goal in all three.  Obviously, then the rookie will score in all the Boston games this week.  Even if he doesn't do that, riding a hot streak and playing four games in six days, should yield some good offensive production.

Andrew Ebbett - C, Anaheim Ducks:  The former Michigan Wolverine, who finished his collegiate career with 144 points, was recalled Friday.  The Ducks have a lot of injuries at center, and as a result, Ebbet is projected to be on a line with Teemu Selanne and Chris Kunitz.  Centering a future hall of famer and the team's third leading scorer this season should allow Ebbett to get an assist or three, at the least, over the course of this coming week.

Brad Stuart - D, Detroit Red Wings:  Despite being the 3rd overall choice in the 1998 Entry Draft, Stuart has not been much of a fantasy producer this season, with only 21 points in 65 games.  After arriving in Detroit, especially given the Red Wings rash of defensive injuries with Nicklas Lidstrom, Chris Chelios and Brian Rafalski all projected to be out this week, look for Stuart's numbers to improve; especially if he can get some time on that power play.  Also pay attention to his defensive partner, Niklas Kronwall.
