Lewis goes for a solo skate to bring Short Shifts season five to a close. He starts by covering some of the headlines including broken records for Quinn Hughes and Nikita Kucherov, taps the stick for Jeremy's brilliant call on Matchup Maximizer to stream Trevor Moore for his hat trick, and celebration for Wyatt Johnston hitting 30 goals. Then it's on to injury updates on Ekblad, Hertl, Guhle, and Tarasov, plus outjury or near-outjury news for Jarry and Hertl. Finally, Lewis details three hot players available in many Yahoo leagues to help you finish your week strong in Zacha, Kuzmenko, and Saad, and some bonus love for Crosby and his fantasy-playoff-winning efforts last week and much of the season.
