November 7, 2025
Fantasy Hockey Waiver Wire Picks – Week 6 (Nov 10–16, 2025)
We’re targeting volume + off-nights to create bench-proof streams. Treat Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun as off-nights for Week 6 (exceptions can happen; we’ll flag them). Roster % callouts read Yahoo, as of Nov 7.
Quick Jumpstart (front-load your week)
Teams with early-week opportunities for Nov 10–16:
Monday only
FLA — NSH — NYI — VGK
Mon + Tue
CBJ
Mon + Wed
EDM — NJD — NYR
Tue + Wed
(none this week)
Tip: Monday > Sunday when splitting hairs — a Monday add lets you drop late-week to squeeze an extra pickup.
High-Volume 4-GP (sorted by off-night leverage)
New York Islanders — Mon/Thu/Fri/Sun
New York Rangers — Mon/Wed/Sat/Sun
Vegas Golden Knights — Mon/Thu/Sat/Sun
Edmonton Oilers — Mon/Wed/Thu/Sat
Columbus Blue Jackets — Mon/Tue/Thu/Sat
Plenty of games; the first three carry the better off-night density.
Three-Game Teams Worth a Look
Included if they offer ≥ 2 off-nights or a strong Monday/Wednesday entry:
Nashville Predators — Mon/Fri/Sun (3 off-nights; Sunday moderate)
New Jersey Devils — Mon/Wed/Sat (Wed off-night; Saturday heavy)
Philadelphia Flyers — Wed/Fri/Sat (Wed/Fri off-nights; Saturday heavy)
Tampa Bay Lightning — Wed/Sat/Sun (Wed off-night; Sunday moderate)
Vancouver Canucks — Tue/Fri/Sun (Fri off-night; Sunday moderate)
Use these to plug a gap if you can’t land a 4-gamer with Mon/Wed leverage.

Closing Notes (Quick Hits You Can Action)
- Jumpstart: Find Monday, or Mon–Tue / Mon–Wed to front-load games.
- Prefer Monday > Sunday when splitting hairs (keeps an extra drop/add window at week’s end).
- Category floors: Banger D with BLK/HIT (paired with off-nights) win ugly weeks.
- Always re-check roster % and line usage before your waiver cycles — roles move fast.
