Janet Eagleson is rooting for you in the fantasy playoffs and here to recommend some recruits. Don't disappoint her.

Four home games for Ottawa this week could give Senators skaters a boost for the fantasy semifinals.

This weeks pickups include Sean Monahan, who returned Monday for the Blue Jackets after more than two months and notched two assists, a shot, three hits and 11 face-off wins.

This week's best waiver wire picks include Jordan Eberle, who's only nine percent owned in Yahoo! leagues, and has two goals and eight assists in his last 10 games.

Merzlikins had a rough 2022-23 campaign, posting a 7-18-2 record, a 4.23 GAA and an .876 save percentage in 30 games. Still, given the Blue Jackets' alternatives in goal -- Daniil Tarasov and Jet Greaves -- Merzlikins is going into the season with a fresh opportunity to be Columbus' starter. The Blue Jackets were a disaster defensively last season and perhaps new head coach Mike Babcock can help with that, which would in turn make Merzlikins' job a little easier. The squad also hired Niklas Backstrom to serve as the new goaltending coach, so Merzlikins will get to work with someone who should have a fresh perspective on his struggles and the possible solutions. Any goaltender has the potential to be a pleasant surprise, but the most likely scenario is still that Merzlikins will finish 2023-24 with a GAA above 3.00 and a save percentage below .900.
