In Week 5 of the fantasy hockey season, various players have emerged as strong waiver wire pickups. Among them is Kevin Fiala of the Los Angeles Kings, who has been making waves with his consistent point production. With the Kings showing strong offensive capabilities, Fiala's role on the top line has positioned him as a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking to bolster their scoring.

Another player worth considering is Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues. Kyrou has showcased his speed and skill, putting up impressive numbers that suggest he can maintain his momentum. As the Blues look for offensive contributors, Kyrou’s potential for further growth makes him an enticing pickup this week.

On the goaltending front, the Minnesota Wild’s Filip Gustavsson has been a standout. With exceptional performances recently, his ability to secure wins and deliver solid save percentages could make him a key addition for teams struggling in net. As Todd McLellan’s squad navigates through a packed schedule, having a reliable goaltender like Gustavsson can significantly bolster a fantasy lineup.

Lastly, don’t overlook the potential of Andrew Mangiapane from the Calgary Flames. His scoring ability and competitive nature have led to increased ice time and chances in recent games. With the Flames striving for consistency, Mangiapane's presence could be a game-changer for fantasy squads needing a reliable scorer to fill gaps in their roster.
