Fantasy hockey stock report: Vincent rising? Trocheck

(Kim Klement, USA TODAY Sports)This is it. We’ve reached the final days of the 2015-16 National Hockey League regular season, but it’s never too late to scoop up free agents to put you over the top. It’s also never too late to drop that dead weight and right the ship.

Rising

— Florida Panthers center has lit the lamp in four straight games, and he has six goals with 13 points with a plus-11 rating over the past 10 games. He has managed at least three shots on goal in six of the past seven.
— Minnesota Wild center  is in the midst of an eight-game point streak, posting three goals with eight points and a plus-5 rating, including a plus-1 in five straight outings.


— Calgary Flames goaltender  is getting a chance and running with it. He is 2-1-1 with a 1.97 goals-against-average (GAA) with a .925 save percentage over his past four appearances.
— Flames right winger has picked up the pace in the month of March, lighting the lamp seven times while posting four assists over the past 12 outings. Although his plus-minus rating is a hindrance, if you need some quick goals Colborne comes on the cheap.

Falling

— Los Angeles Kings goaltende has been roughed up lately, going 1-1-0 with 10 goals allowed in 133 minutes. While he is obviously not droppable, give serious consideration to reserving him and his 4.51 GAA and .865 save percentage over his past three appearances.
— Chicago Blackhawks defenseman is scoreless with a minus-2 rating over his past nine games played. He isn’t shooting the puck, he isn’t going to the penalty box, and he hasn’t even helped with blocked shots lately.
— Washington Capitals right wing  is scoreless with a minus-1 rating over the past four games. The Austrian has cooled, lighting the lamp just three times in the past 16 outings.
— As quickly as Ottawa Senators center emerged as a fantasy option in February, he has faded in March. Since March 1 he has just one goal with five points in 12 games, and three assists came in one game March 12. He can no longer be trusted.
