McDavid and Allen are injured players to target after All-Star break

"The Neutral Zone" Fantasy Hockey Report

Connor McDavid

There are only ten weeks left in the 2015-16 NHL regular season, so that means that some players may be returning for injuries after the All-Star break.

Here are two players to watch out for after the All-Star break that will be returning to action in the NHL post their current injuries:

Connor McDavid - Edmonton Oilers
McDavid hasn't played since fracturing his left clavicle when he crashed into the end boards against the Philadelphia Flyers on Nov. 3, but he had very good success in the beginning of his 2015-16 rookie season, where had five goals and seven assists in his first 13 games.

The only problem when it comes to the final two weeks of the 2015-16 regular season with choosing to acquire, pick, or start McDavid, or any of his teammates is that the Oilers only play two games in that two-week span.

Jake Allen - St. Louis Blues

Jake Allen

Allen went 8-5-2 with a 1.79 goals-against average and .931 save percentage in 12 starts in 15 games after February 1 last season. The fact that it is unknown when Allen will return from his current knee injury will possibly help you achieve him in a trade very easily. The 26-year-old was in hunt for the Vezina Trophy this season with a record of 18-10-3 with a 2.17 GAA, a .924 save percentage and five shutouts before he was injured.

One issue comes about when it comes to starting Allen. Blues coach Ken Hitchcock may start Allen's goalie teammate Brian Elliott fairly often to keep Allen fresh for the playoffs if the Blues make it this season, so that means that Allen may not be able to get as any starts as his fantasy owners would like him to have.
