At this point of the fantasy season, there just isn’t a whole lot to talk about. There are a handful of injuries and line changes across the league, but we have lots of columns here at Dobber Hockey that cover those things. We have Ryan Sheppard covering line changes in his ‘Lining Up’ columns and [...]

Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since last week’s article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza.

Ramblings: MacKinnon, Hoffman, Boeser & Gourde Return; First Goals by Mercer Raymond & Lundell (Oct 19)

By |2021-10-19T23:56:29-04:00October 20th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

Lots to talk about after a busy Tuesday night in the NHL, but before we get to that, if you’re a Pavel Buchnevich owner then you’re going to have him stapled to your bench for the next few days as he received a two-game suspension for head-butting. This isn’t his first offence either, and he [...]

Eastern Edge: A Thought from Each Team

By |2021-10-19T15:28:05-04:00October 19th, 2021|Eastern Edge|

In this week’s Eastern Edge, I’ll share an early thought for each team in the Eastern Conference. Boston Bruins – I’m Easily Swayed, Man I know it’s only been one game, but I’m already convinced that Jeremy Swayman will end up being Boston’s most valuable fantasy netminder when the season is over. He looked excellent [...]

Ramblings: Early-Season Observations; Evander Kane Update; Kucherov Injury – Oct. 19

By |2021-10-18T21:43:31-04:00October 19th, 2021|Hockey Rambling|

We are a full week into the NHL season and it is still far, far too early to make any concrete determinations. Outside of injuries or demotions, fantasy rosters shouldn’t have changed too much by this point. That doesn’t mean there aren’t signals we can look for, hoping it could lead to a positive development [...]

Wild West: Early Concerns

By |2021-10-18T10:57:48-04:00October 18th, 2021|The Wild West|

There have only been a few games so far, but ice time and deployment are two factors that can significantly affect a player’s production. I’m going to list a few players who are in potentially reduced roles from what I figured they would be and who I have some concern about their production levels this [...]

Top 10 Way-Too-Early Observations

By |2021-10-18T00:45:58-04:00October 18th, 2021|Fantasy Hockey Top 10|

We're less than a week into the season, but it's never too early to have a look at who is getting opportunities and who is struggling early in the season. It may seem utterly unfair to judge the players now. After all, we're dealing with an extremely small sample size. Six teams have played just [...]
