Last Monday, I would have been kicked out of the face off circle, when I declared Fantasy Hockey Week 2 started.. I was wrong…too excited to start blogging the NHL season.

Today, Monday, October 15th, is the start of Fantasy Hockey Week 2.

Auston Matthews and John Tavares are off to a hot start for the Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring a combined 16 goals in six games – six on the Power Play!

While highlighting those Carolina Hurricanes players earlier this week may have allowed some of you to get them on your roster ahead of your league mates, this breakdown is much deeper.

Below I highlight players under 50% owned in Yahoo Fantasy Hockey leagues, that can help you in specific categories.
