NHL Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Defensemen Pickups Jan. 21 - Raddysh Catching Everyone's Attention

On every game day this season, THN Fantasy will highlight players and goalies for fantasy managers to stream or roster for the rest of the season. The recommended players and goalies can be used in standard fantasy leagues or for daily fantasy games.

Owen Power, BUF at VAN (27% rostered)

Power and Bowen Byram continue to share duties on PP2 but I lean Power when it comes to fantasy. I find he covers more categories, albeit minimally, but note Power's got two points in his past two games. The Canucks are not a good defensive team and will be without the suspended Tyler Myers.

Darren Raddysh, TB at MTL (13% rostered)

No PP1, no problem. Victor Hedman has returned to his usual spot but Raddysh has continued to score points with his second consecutive two-point game, giving him six points in four games. Raddysh is gaining a ton of traction in fantasy hockey and it's not too late to pick him up. The Lightning are averaging the most goals per game in the league.

Kaiden Guhle, MTL vs. TB (13% rostered)

Guhle has two assists, eight shots and three blocks in his past two games, and the Lightning have a penchant for playing some high-scoring games. Tough luck for the Habs with Andrei Vasilevskiy expected to start, but scoring hasn't really been an issue for the Habs lately.

Honorable mention:

Jackson LaCombe, ANA vs. FLA (32% rostered)
Matt Roy, WSH at EDM (9% rostered)
