In this week’s installment we take a little break from the traditional analysis of even strength line production, and briefly look at some power play numbers. While these combinations might be less concrete than even strength lines, most of these players will be seeing significant power play time over the course of the season. We’ll [...]
Fantasy Impact: The Tampa Bay Lightning acquire Louis Domingue from the Arizona Coyotes for Michael Leighton and Tye McGinn. The Lightning get: A backup goaltender in Domingue who fell out of favour in Arizona after a rough start and their acquisition of Scott Wedgewood. Thus, the goaltender carousel continues to spin.

A quick search of the top scorers in the Eastern Conference over the last two weeks yields a list of the usual suspects; Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov, along with quite a few of those that I have mentioned over the past few articles. This week, I’ll bring forward some names that you may not [...]
Below are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in fantasy hockey - November edition. Yesterday I posted The Top 200 Fantasy Prospect Forwards.

Matt Martin is still a stud when it comes to hits, but there are plenty of new faces when it comes to hits [...]
On this brand new episode of the Keeping Karlsson Hockey Podcast, the guys think about how scared Brent Burns and Joe Pavelski owners should be, whether production from Schultz and Letang can coexist, if the Habs may have a new backup goalie, the prospect of QBing terrible powerplays in Chicago and Buffalo, the dreaminess of [...]
