Hockey is in full swing which means injuries are coming fast and furious as well. Finding injury replacements is a key component to a successful fantasy year. It can be depressing using Todd White to replace Alfredsson but every point you can get out of an injury replacements might make a difference in the end. Although nothing can make waiver wire players into fantasy studs you might be able to squeeze a few more points out of your those borderline second or third liners if you consider the team's schedule.

Is it too early to assess how the the Blueshirts are doing now that the Lone Ranger has ridden off into the sunset (Jaromir Jagr - Kontinental Hockey League) along with his trusty Czech mate Tonto (Martin Straka – Czech Extraliga)?

It's a rare night when three players score their first career NHL goals in the same game. Last night Brunnstrom, Hornqvist and Jones did it. The last time three players did this was in October of 2005. If you can tell me, in the NHL Rumors/ Discussion section of the forum, who the three players [...]

Welcome once again to “An Expert’s Audit”. This audit will be posted here as well as on my fantasy hockey blog . During the season I do weekly reviews of teams for people who email in to me for a look-see, they’re less indepth but just as much fun. Dobber audits will continue to appear here monthly and if you’re interested in having your keeper team “worked over” then you can begin by emailing Dobber about it.

It’s not easy to make it in the NHL, it’s a big step up from junior hockey and the American Hockey League. So it’s not unusual for players to struggle as rookies and then take a big step up during their second season once they know what to expect and have made the necessary adjustments to their play and approach to the game. Here are nine sophomore players who seem to have adjusted very well to the NHL since they are off to very nice starts this season.

What did I tell ya? What have I been saying for over a week now? If you didn't have faith in Dobber before, you do now - the Jackets have placed Boll on IR and have recalled Nikita Filatov. I predict that Filatov will play 10 minutes in his NHL debut and score one goal. Tampa [...]

A New Star on Broadway

Brandon Dubinsky

When the Rangers made a huge splash last off-season with the signings of Scott Gomez and Chris Drury, it was assumed that those two would stabilize the center position in New York for the next half-decade. Although the center position is very stable, it is due in large part to the emergence of Brandon Dubinsky. His strong play has forced the Rangers to slide Drury to play right wing with Gomez. Dubinsky was fantastic in is rookie season skating with Jaromir Jagr, and he has continued his development this season skating on a line with Aaron Voros and Nikolai Zherdev.
