Fantasy hockey playoff weeks can be decided by the slimmest of margins in several categories, and sometimes the addition of the right player can be the key difference. Listed below are three sleeper adds that fantasy hockey managers can make to increase their chances of being crowned champion by the end of the postseason.

Fantasy Hockey Playoff Sleepers
Troy Terry – Anaheim Ducks

Despite only playing 48 games this season, Troy Terry has averaged just over a point per game thus far, having continued to be a reliable offensive piece for the Anaheim Ducks. Since returning from injury on March 15th, Terry has logged four points in just two games and has found himself back on Anaheim’s top line. Although Terry doesn’t add much peripheral value, his elite scoring ability can be game-changing for managers looking to improve offensively in the playoffs.

Joel Hofer – St. Louis Blues

The St. Louis Blues are playing the best hockey they’ve played all season since the Olympic break, and goaltender Joel Hofer has been a big part of their success. Though he continues to split time with Jordan Binnington, Hofer has recorded an outstanding .950 save percentage throughout March, having allowed only two goals or less in five of his last six games. Picking up goalies off the waiver wire is always anxiety-inducing during playoff weeks, but Joel Hofer is undoubtedly one of the most consistent choices out there if available.

Bobby McMann – Seattle Kraken

Bobby McMann was scoreless in his final four games as a Toronto Maple Leaf, but since being traded to the Seattle Kraken, he’s gone through one of his most impressive offensive stretches of the season. In his first three games with the Kraken, McMann tallied six points playing on the first line, and is already being featured on the power-play. Additionally, McMann has continued to be a physical forward and often records over two hits a game. If McMann doesn’t slow down, he could be the biggest steal in the fantasy hockey playoffs, especially for managers looking for dynamic forwards.

Moving ahead, every add can have massive implications on a fantasy owner’s playoff matchup, but Terry, Hofer, and McMann are three options that should be safe bets down the stretch. It’s also important for managers to look at the number of games a team plays during a playoff week, as picking up sleepers who only have two games could be disadvantageous instead of beneficial.
