NHL Waiver Wire Adds: 12/04 to 12/10
As I analyze the available players for your team, I will pay close attention to those who have potentially been promoted in the lineup, either due to their excellent performance or because of a teammate's injury.
Additionally, I will consider players who have an advantageous schedule this week, meaning they are facing weaker opponents or playing in favorable conditions. Lastly, I will keep an eye out for players who could be receiving a boost from an injury, whether it's their own or their teammates, as this could increase their playing time and overall performance.
DISCLOSURE: Make sure to monitor the NHL news feeds for the latest player status and injury news.

Bjorkstrand is currently rostered in 22.1% of ESPN leagues
I highly recommend adding Bjorkstrand to your lineup. This player not only boasts some impressive stats, including a great shot and the ability to set up his teammates for goals, but he's also a key player when his team is on the power play. Additionally, he's part of one of the strongest third lines in the entire NHL, which is a testament to his skills on the ice. With Bjorkstrand on your team, you can expect consistent performance and a higher chance of climbing the standings.

NHL Waiver Wire Defensemen
Opponents - Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton, Seattle
Middleton is rostered in 19.5% of ESPN leagues
If you're looking for a solid defenseman for your fantasy team, Middleton is a great choice. He's skilled in shooting, hitting and blocking shots, and can even contribute with a goal or an assist. Right now, he's ranked 33rd among all NHL defensemen in standard ESPN scoring, but surprisingly, he's rostered on less than 20% of rosters. So don't wait any longer, add Middleton to your roster as soon as possible!
