Every week, theScore offers a fantasy hockey column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 12. Roster percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.

Add Linus Ullmark

Team: Sabres
Position: G
Rostered: 19%

Adding a Sabres goalie may not sound appealing, but Ullmark is really good. He's 7-5-3 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.44 goals-against average this season. Ullmark was hurt for the bulk of Buffalo's 18-game losing streak, but he's worth rostering in the majority of fantasy leagues now that he's healthy.

Add Adin Hill

Team: Coyotes
Position: G
Rostered: 19%

Hill has started every game for the Coyotes since March 23 with Darcy Kuemper and Antti Raanta injured. The 6-foot-6 24-year-old has filled in admirably during that span, going 4-1-0 with a .910 save percentage entering Sunday. Arizona plays four games this coming week, so Hill could start each contest if Kuemper and Raanta remain out.

Drop Canucks players

The Canucks are undergoing a severe battle with COVID-19. Everyone on Vancouver can be dropped in redraft leagues unless you can place players with postponed games on NA or IR+ spots. It's hard to imagine the team will return to action anytime soon.

Add David Krejci

Team: Bruins
Position: C
Rostered: 21%

The Bruins are one of two teams with five games this coming week. Krejci has just two goals this season but he's been heating up, recording 10 points in his last seven contests. Boston split up the perfection line for the time being, so Krejci has the benefit of playing on a line with David Pastrnak.

Matt Grzelcyk (50%), Nick Ritchie (15%), and Craig Smith (6%) are also worth rostering.

Add Jakub Voracek

Team: Flyers
Position: RW
Rostered: 41%

The Flyers are the NHL's other team with five games this coming week. Voracek hasn't been as productive as Krejci lately, but he still has four points in his last three contests and 13 in his last 12 games.

Joel Farabee (49%) and Kevin Hayes (44%) are also worth scooping up.

The Vancouver Canucks' COVID-19 outbreak might be worse than initially feared.

"There are additional cases identified Friday evening, and perhaps what's more scary to most of us throughout society is that the Brazil variant has been identified in some of the cases that have infected members of the Vancouver Canucks," TSN's Darren Dreger said on SportsCentre.

"Now, I'm told that there are cases here in Vancouver with the Canucks where the individuals are very ill. It's something that we're going to have to continue to monitor."

There were seven Canucks players on the NHL's COVID-19 list as of Friday: Quinn Hughes, Braden Holtby, Alex Edler, Adam Gaudette, Travis Hamonic, Zack MacEwen, and Antoine Roussel. The list is updated daily at 5 p.m. ET.

The Canucks haven't played since March 24 against the Winnipeg Jets. Their games have been postponed through at least April 6.

Brandon Dubinsky is not ready to let bygones be bygones regarding his ongoing feud with Sidney Crosby.

The longtime NHL center - who's still under contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets but has been on long-term injured reserve and hasn't played since 2018-19 - had some choice words for the Pittsburgh Penguins captain during an appearance on The Garage and Beers Podcast on Thursday.

"Everybody wants to talk about Sid and (Alex Ovechkin) or whatever," Dubinsky said. "Dude, f--- Sid. I'll take Ovi every day of the week."

Dubinsky took to Twitter to double down on his take.

While Ovechkin is already arguably the greatest goal scorer of all time, Crosby is considered to be more complete and well-rounded.

Dubinsky has his own biases, though - during his playing career, he and Crosby went at it on numerous occasions.

In 2010, then as a member of the New York Rangers, Dubinsky called Crosby a dirty player and a complainer. In 2015, Crosby fought Dubinsky while the latter was with Columbus. Nine months later, Dubinsky crosschecked Crosby in the neck and earned a one-game suspension.

Last year, Crosby said he does have regrets about complaining to the refs too much early in his career, according to Sportsnet's Jeff Marek.

Dubinsky, who is unlikely to suit up in the NHL again due to a chronic wrist injury, registered 438 points in 823 games during his 13-year career.

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Nathan Beaulieu will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, the team announced Friday.

The 28-year-old hasn't played since March 9. Beaulieu recorded one assist in 25 games this campaign.

The Jets can now place Beaulieu's $1.25-million cap hit on long-term injured reserve, giving the club increased cap flexibility ahead of the trade deadline.

The Vancouver Canucks' COVID-19 outbreak grew by six players on Friday.

A total of eight Canucks players and one staff member have now tested positive for the virus, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

It was announced Thursday that two Canucks players and a staff member tested positive. Vancouver's games through April 6 were postponed as a result.

Forward Adam Gaudette and defenseman Travis Hamonic appeared on the NHL's COVID-19 list Thursday. The list is updated daily at 5 p.m. ET.

The Canucks are the second team in the North Division to get hit by the coronavirus. The Montreal Canadiens recently returned from a 10-day layoff.

Vancouver's last four games have been postponed, and it hasn't played since March 24 against the Winnipeg Jets.

The Florida Panthers agreed to a two-year, entry-level contract with defenseman Matt Kiersted, the team announced Thursday.

The North Dakota product was widely considered the top college free agent in this year's class.

"He's a very intelligent puck mover with some skill and runs North Dakota's power play," The Athletic's Corey Pronman wrote. "He's not that big or quick, but neither the size nor the quickness are so detrimental to limit him at higher levels due to the very high IQ. He should be able to defend OK versus pros while making great outlets and offensive plays.

"I could see him as a third-pair defenseman in the NHL."

Kiersted, 22, tallied 22 points in 29 games during his senior year with the Fighting Hawks. He finished as the runner-up to UND teammate Jacob Bernard-Docker for NCHC Defensive Defenseman of the Year.

"Matt is an exciting defenseman who plays the game with great speed and vision," Panthers general manager Bill Zito said. "His steady progression and development from an undrafted player to one of the NCAA's top defensemen is a display of his resiliency and motivation to succeed."

Kiersted is listed at 6-feet and 181 pounds and shoots left.

The New Jersey Devils placed forward Nikita Gusev on waivers, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

The 28-year-old winger has tallied just a pair of goals and three helpers in 20 games this season. His underlying numbers haven't been strong, either.

Gusev arrived in New Jersey with plenty of hype. The Devils surrendered second- and third-round picks for him in July 2019. He was originally a seventh-round pick of the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2012 but never suited up for the team. He was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights in 2017 as part of the expansion draft process before being dealt to the Devils.

The Russian winger had an excellent career in the KHL, recording 82 points in 62 games during his final season with SKA Saint Petersburg in 2018-19. He was also integral to the Olympic Athletes from Russia's gold medal at the PyeongChang Games, leading the tournament with 12 points in six contests.

Gusev was productive in 2019-20, registering 44 points in 66 games with the Devils, but was unable to replicate that success.

He's in the final year of his contract carrying a $4.5-million cap hit, according to CapFriendly.

The NHL fined Colorado Avalanche superstar center Nathan MacKinnon $5,000 for throwing a helmet at Arizona Coyotes forward Conor Garland, the league's Department of Player Safety announced Thursday.

MacKinnon and Garland were engaged in a scrum near the end of Wednesday's one-sided Avs blowout. When Garland's helmet came loose, MacKinnon underhanded it back at him.

The Nova Scotia native received a 10-minute misconduct on the play and was ejected from the contest, marking the first time MacKinnon's been fined or suspended in his career since Scouting The Refs started keeping track in 2014-15 - the 25-year-old's sophomore season.

MacKinnon was last season's Lady Byng Memorial Trophy recipient, awarded to the player "adjudged to have exhibited the best type of sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct combined with a high standard of playing ability." The former first overall pick had 12 penalty minutes in 69 games last year but 14 on Wednesday night.

The Ottawa Senators signed defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker to a three-year, entry-level contract, the team announced Thursday.

Bernard-Docker will report directly to Ottawa following his required quarantine period.

The Senators selected the right-handed blue-liner 26th overall at the 2018 draft. He was their second of two first-rounders that year after taking Brady Tkachuk fourth overall.

"Jacob represents another key component of our future," Senators general manager Pierre Dorion said. "He's very mature for his age and already possesses great gap and stick detail within his game. He's an exemplary leader and a winner who we're looking forward to seeing in our lineup."

The 20-year-old recently wrapped up a three-year NCAA career at the University of North Dakota. He tallied 18 points in 27 games during his final season with the Fighting Hawks and was named NCHC Defensive Defenseman of the Year on March 10.

Bernard-Docker helped Canada capture a gold medal at the 2020 world juniors, collecting one goal in seven games.

The Senators have used at least one first-rounder on a defenseman in three straight years. After taking Bernard-Docker in 2018, they chose Lassi Thomson 19th overall in 2019 and used the No. 5 pick in 2020 on Jake Sanderson.

The Vancouver Canucks and goaltender Thatcher Demko have agreed to a five-year, $25-million extension, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.

Demko is in the midst of a breakout season, posting a .917 save percentage and a 2.77 goals-against average in 25 games so far this year. He also ranks fifth in the NHL in goals saved above expected, according to Evolving-Hockey.

The 25-year-old netminder's success this season follows his coming-out party during the 2020 postseason. Replacing an injured Jacob Markstrom, Demko stopped 128 of 130 shots in four appearances against the Vegas Golden Knights before the Canucks were eliminated.

The Canucks let Markstrom walk as a free agent after Demko's strong playoff showing this summer and signed veteran Braden Holtby to a two-year, $8.6-million deal. Demko has thoroughly outplayed Holtby and solidified himself as the team's No. 1 goalie moving forward.

Vancouver selected Demko 36th overall in the 2014 draft. The native of San Diego was set to become a restricted free agent in the offseason.

Demko, defenseman Quinn Hughes, and forward Elias Pettersson made up a trio of key RFAs the Canucks had to sign following the campaign. With Demko's deal reportedly taken care of, Vancouver projects to have just over $20 million in cap space this offseason with a roster size of only 12, according to CapFriendly.
