Every week, theScore offers a fantasy hockey column detailing a handful of moves you should make. This edition focuses on Week 6. Roster percentages and position eligibility are courtesy of Yahoo.

Buy low on Mika Zibanejad

Team: Rangers
Position: C
Rostered: 90%

Zibanejad has been one of the league's most disappointing players so far, tallying just two goals and two assists in 16 games. A year ago, he recorded 41 goals and 34 helpers in 57 contests.

But it's clear Zibanejad has been a victim of poor puck luck:

The New York Rangers pivot is shooting just 4.3%. His 19.7% mark last year was a career high and perhaps unsustainable, but he shot 12.1% across the previous six campaigns and never finished below 10.4% over that span.

Zibanejad is bound to turn it around at some point, so now is the time to trade for him. With his value is at an all-time low, managers can probably acquire the 27-year-old for pennies on the dollar.

Add Trevor Zegras

Team: Ducks
Position: C
Rostered: 6%

The Anaheim Ducks promoted Zegras to the NHL on Sunday after a successful AHL stint in which he tallied nine points in eight games. The 19-year-old was named MVP of the world juniors in January after leading the tournament with 18 points in seven games for the U.S.

It remains to be seen what kind of impact Zegras can make at the NHL level. There are concerns about his skating, but he'll likely get a chance to produce for an Anaheim team that sorely lacks offensive firepower. The highly skilled and intelligent center should play in the Ducks' top six and on the No. 1 power-play unit.

Drop Tomas Tatar

Team: Canadiens
Position: LW/RW
Rostered: 57%

Tatar is still rostered in more than half of fantasy leagues despite a recent demotion to the Montreal Canadiens' third line. He was even a healthy scratch at one point last week. The 30-year-old entered Sunday with a respectful nine points in 15 games, but there are likely better players available on the waiver wire in 10- and 12-team leagues.

Add Calvin Petersen

Team: Kings
Position: G
Rostered: 21%

Petersen has been a bright spot for the Los Angeles Kings this season while drastically outplaying teammate Jonathan Quick.

Petersen's strong start doesn't appear to be a fluke, either: He entered the campaign with a .923 save percentage and 2.62 goals-against average in 19 career games.

Quick played well this past week, but look for the 26-year-old Petersen to receive the lion's share of the workload as the season progresses. Playing in the weak West Division also helps his fantasy outlook.

Add Sam Reinhart

Team: Sabres
Position: C/RW
Rostered: 43%

Reinhart has produced four points in his last four games and is back playing alongside Jack Eichel and Victor Olofsson on the Buffalo Sabres' top line and No. 1 power-play unit.

Buffalo is scheduled to play an NHL-high five games this week, so if Reinhart is already rostered in your league, it may be worth looking into Eric Staal, Dylan Cozens, or even Jeff Skinner. Skinner should only be considered if he can find his way off the fourth line, though.

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury, the club announced Sunday.

Merzlikins suffered the ailment during Saturday's contest against the Nashville Predators. He left the game after apparently hurting his left arm while making a save at the beginning of the third period.

The 26-year-old stopped 35 of the 39 shots he faced prior to exiting. He's appeared in nine games this season, owning a 3-3-1 record alongside a .917 save percentage.

The Blue Jackets recalled goaltender Matiss Kivlenieks from the AHL and added him to the club's taxi squad earlier Sunday. He'll likely share the crease with Joonas Korpisalo in Merzlikins' absence.

Korpisalo has struggled out of the gate this season, recording a .889 save percentage and a 3.46 goals-against average through 13 appearances.

It's Trevor Zegras time.

The Anaheim Ducks recalled their prized prospect from the AHL's San Diego Gulls on Sunday, the team announced.

Zegras was named MVP of the World Junior Hockey Championship in January after guiding the U.S. to a gold medal. He led the tournament with 18 points in seven games.

The 19-year-old enjoyed a smooth transition to the pro level, as he recorded four goals and five assists in eight contests with the Gulls.

The Ducks selected Zegras ninth overall at the 2019 NHL Draft.

Winnipeg Jets forward Pierre-Luc Dubois will return to the lineup Sunday versus the Vancouver Canucks.

"I've never been more ready to go," he said, per Sportsnet's Ken Wiebe.

Dubois missed Winnipeg's last four games due to what he called a "muscle injury."

It appears he'll get a chance to skate on the Jets' top line.

Winnipeg acquired Dubois from the Columbus Blue Jackets earlier this season in a blockbuster trade that sent Patrik Laine the other way. He only appeared in two games with his new team before being sidelined and was held pointless in both contests.

The Jets enter Sunday's game with a 10-6-1 record, good for third place in the North Division.

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique has cleared waivers after surprisingly being made available on Saturday, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Henrique was free for any team to grab over a 24-hour period, but he'll now continue his season with the Ducks. He's the club's second-highest paid forward, carrying a $5.83 million cap hit through the 2023-24 season.

The 31-year-old led Anaheim with 26 goals and 43 points last campaign. However, he's off to a slow start in 2021 while managing only four points in 16 contests for the last-place Ducks.

Can we still call him "Sid the Kid?"

After 1,000 career games, the moniker can be contributed to Sidney Crosby's evergreen love for the game and his elite ability at 33 years of age. Hockey fans everywhere still hold on to parts of that rosy-cheeked wunderkind from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, that became the face of hockey 16 years ago.

The Penguins blue-chip pivot is the first player in franchise history to reach the millennium mark in games played, and his accomplishments along the way have formed a body of work unmatched by most.

Before we get into the numbers, let's briefly revisit what's been a remarkable ride for No. 87 thus far.

Crosby's rise to greatness

Crosby burst onto the scene with 102 points in his rookie season. He then captured both his first Hart Trophy as MVP and first Art Ross Trophy with a league-best 120-point sophomore campaign. The Penguins made Crosby the youngest captain in NHL history ahead of Year 3, and by Year 4 he had led the franchise to the Stanley Cup. He accomplished all of this by the 290-game mark of his career.

In Year 5, Crosby potted 51 goals to win the "Rocket" Richard Trophy. Well-documented concussion issues kept him sidelined for the better part of the three seasons to follow, but in 2013-14, Sid had a remarkable rise back to the top. He captured both his second career Hart and Art Ross that season after breaking the 100-point mark for the fifth time.

With Crosby at the helm, the Penguins became the first team in 19 years to win back-to-back Stanley Cups (2016, 2017), with the captain collecting the Conn Smythe Trophy each time. In 2018-19, Crosby hit the 100-point mark once again - 14 years after doing it for the first time. Despite being in the latter half of his career, something tells us that "Sid the Kid" isn't done quite yet.

Leader of an era

Let's take a moment to appreciate how incredible Crosby's first 1,000 games have been relative to his peers still playing today.

It's clear Crosby's body of work through 1,000 career games is superior. He also trumps every player on that list in both Stanley Cups and most of them in major individual awards, too.

It's worth mentioning players like Patrick Kane (992 games played) and Crosby's longtime teammate Evgeni Malkin (923 games played) are on track to be near the top of that list once they reach 1,000 games. Malkin projects to reach around 1,176 points, which would still put him 100 back of Crosby.

Legend among legends

When looking at Crosby's illustrious career to date from a historical perspective, there's no questioning his status as one of the greatest players to ever lace up a pair of skates.

The 33-year-old is surrounded by Hall of Famers at this stage of his career both statistically and in terms of hardware. Below shows statistics from each player through 1,000 career games as well as how many Stanley Cups, Hart Trophies, and Art Ross Trophies they collected during that span.

*Mario Lemieux and Peter Stastny never reached the 1,000-game mark but remain in the top 10 in terms of points among players who did

Crosby sits sixth in points and fourth in assists, which is impressive enough, but his greatness truly shines through when we understand which era each player played in. Using Hockey Reference's era-adjusted formulas, we can say with some reason Crosby has had the third-best career through his first 1,000 games in NHL history.

What comes next?

With everything he's already accomplished, it's crazy to consider Crosby likely still has five-to-seven years of quality hockey left in him. The Penguins' perennial captain recently confirmed his desire to remain with the club for the remainder of his career, but whether or not the franchise can get back to being Stanley Cup contenders in that time remains to be seen.

Statistically, he currently ranks 37th on the NHL's all-time scoring list. It's impossible to say how long Crosby can keep pace with his career point per game average of 1.27 - which is currently seventh-best all time - but it's reasonable to believe he'll crack the top 10 when all is said and done.

If Crosby can average around 55 points for the next six seasons, which is extremely likely, he'll become just the 10th player ever to eclipse the 1,600-point mark.

The NHL reversed its initial ruling to nullify a Montreal Canadiens goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

The Canadiens scored to cut the Maple Leafs' lead to 4-3 late in the second period.

The officials reviewed the play and upheld the goal, but the Maple Leafs then used a coach's challenge, claiming there had been goaltender interference. Montreal forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi appeared to push Toronto goaltender Frederik Andersen's pad into the net along with the puck.

The goal was reviewed for a second time, and the league overturned the initial call.

The NHL later issued an explanation but only referenced the goaltender interference challenge, saying it wiped out the goal because Kotkaniemi did indeed push Andersen's pad.

Kotkaniemi scored earlier in the second period to cut the Maple Leafs' lead to 2-1.

The Maple Leafs defeated the Canadiens 5-3, thanks in large part to Auston Matthews, who racked up two goals and two assists.
