A handful of early games allows me to get a head start, so let’s start there for our Saturday recap. Since the Ilya Kovalchuk trade, Richard Panik has been moved down to the fourth line with Garnet Hathaway and Nic Dowd. The funny thing is that move has actually helped Panik, as he is on [...]
There’s no getting around it: last week was pretty wack when it comes to my picks. I can’t put my finger on it, exactly (obviously), but I just can’t seem to catch a break or a bounce these days - but that’s how she goes sometimes when you make wagers on the regular. With a [...]
We have one of the smallest Saturday slates of the season on tap for tonight with only six games on the 7 p.m. EST main slate. The Rangers, and specifically Mika Zibanejad coming off a five-goal outburst Thursday, figure to carry the most ownership with a home matchup against the Devils. If you can stomach [...]
In a game with massive playoff implications for the Jets, Connor Hellebuyck stopped all 29 shots he faced in a 4-0 win over the Golden Knights. Hellebuyck has now earned shutouts in two of his last four games. He’s also put together an impressive run of quality starts, with 11 quality starts over his last [...]
All fantasy owners need help in the short term AND the long term. The Looking Ahead feature identifies one player to plug into lineups in the short term, a second to invest in for the long term, a third to bench for the coming week, and a fourth who will struggle to meet expectations for [...]
If you are a Mika Zibanejad owner and you’re in an important time of your season, you sure hit the jackpot on Thursday. Zibanejad scored five goals, including the overtime winner, while firing eight shots on goal in the 6-5 win for the Rangers over the Capitals. To give you an idea of how rarely [...]
The trade deadline is often the fastest way to change a player’s ownership percentage in fantasy. We see a news story flashing some hype, and get excited about the prospect of that player’s new deployment situation. Sometimes the change is worth it, sometimes not. This week we are going to use a handy Dobber tool [...]
With the trade deadline behind us, and not much left to be done in most cap leagues other than sit back, watch, and cheer for our players, some managers are already prepping for next season. With that, I have had some readers asking me about fresh drafts that they are planning on completing over the [...]
Both Andre Burakovsky and Cale Makar were out of the lineup for Colorado on Wednesday night. The team seems to think Makar is closer to returning than Burakovsky is. On the bright side (I think?), Gabriel Landeskog was able to play with a broken nose. I know a lot of teams are going through injuries, [...]
Here’s this week’s latest injury news. If you don’t see a certain player below, there probably haven’t been any major developments in their progress. Once there is a significant update, I’ll be sure to have it for you on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza! Josh Manson – Left Tuesday’s game against the Blackhawks with an upper-body injury. Hampus [...]
