Zack Kassian’s 20-game suspension this week has probably made him persona non grata for many fantasy hockey GMs.
After all, in many fantasy hockey formats, reliability is an important factor. Many GMs don’t want a guy who can snap and get long suspensions.
Afternoon notes - Fleury is actually not starting today after all. He is the backup for Johnson today. Also, Jeff Carter, mentioned below, has already scored for the Flyers. Jeff Carter has 18 points in his last 13 games after another three last night. His pace is up to 69 and I think he'll [...]
Angus here - about to head out for the evening! Some final thoughts for the day... Eric Fehr scored his 14th of the night tonight, and is looking like a lock to hit 20 goals. That number is all the more impressive considering he doesn't usually see over 12 or 13 minutes of ice [...]
My winning percentage stayed at the 70% mark last week. I correctly predicted a blowout victory and a shootout win. I got 7 out of 10 winning teams right. Not only am I getting the winners right, my analysis on what I think is going to happen and why I see it happening has been so spot-on it has been sort of freaking me out. I am in a hockey tournament this weekend in Niagara Falls so I am doing these picks late on Thursday night. I will look at some different angles for these games as I can’t read and research the same articles I usually do. EDIT: After writing this I just have to say, these are some very tough games this week, tread with caution.
A tough decision can be made easier with these charts showing you the best five and worst five schedules for upcoming seven-day periods. Some of you used them last year but for the benefit of new readers here is a refresher. The number next to the team indicates the 'multiplier' to use on a player's point-per-game pace to give you an idea how many points to expect for that week.

The Buffalo Sabres are 8-1-2 in their last eleven games and sit only two points back of the Eastern Conference leading Washington Capitals. The NHL’s most tenured Head Coach, Lindy Ruff has no true superstar to rely on, but he seems to be able to squeeze the most out of his charges year in and year out. This season, Buffalo’s best forward so far has been Tim Connolly and the top defenseman has been the rookie Tyler Myers.

Nashville is the new Detroit.
That statement might be unfair, even considering the current NHL standings, but in at least one respect it rings true, and that might be very good news for your fantasy team.
