Boy, I woke up yesterday with a 103 fever and my first thought (other than wanting to sleep for 20 hours) was how could I deprive the SS reader of their waiver wire finale? Perish the thought! The regular season ends in few days, so if you do have one more shot at making any moves, here's some food for thought - I am for teams and player that have a ton to play for this week.

C Matthew Lombardi - CGY:  You might be more familiar with him this week, mainly because he's scored two huge goals in must-have games for the Flames. He's got 4 points in his last 3 games and is giving the club a much needed boost from the 3rd line.

LW Matt Cooke - WSH:  The type of sandpaper player that the Caps will desperately need to be at his best this week as the team tries to buck the odds and squeeze into the playoffs. Ovechkin can't do it alone and Cooke has been a solid contributor on past Canuck teams in the spring.

D Anton Stralman - TOR:  OK, I lied on this one; I like a player from a team that's been knocked out. In most fantasy leagues, defensemen that can contribute offensively are gold, and Stralman's play (3 points in his last 2 games) over the last couple of weeks strongly suggests he has that potential. He's certainly worth a one week look.

D Dan Hamhuis - NSH:  Has been one of the reasons why the Preds have managed to keep themselves in potential playoff position. While he hasn't been on the score sheet in the last 5 games, he's a +3 and does have 28 points on the season. One of the earlier first round picks ever made by the Preds, he appears to have finally blossomed into a 25 minute per game defenceman they envisioned when they drafted him 12th overall back in 2001.
