Welcome back to Looking Ahead, the weekly column where we gander at the next 10-ish days of NHL play to see how often each team is playing, who they’re playing, and which fantasy options can help out. It is also important to know which players to avoid, so we’ll be looking at some of those [...]
Now that we are at about the halfway mark of the season it seems appropriate to take a look at some first half successes. In this case though we are going to deviate from point paces and pay homage to the multi-cat kings. Being in two leagues that count peripheral categories I can attest that [...]
It has been a small sample so far, but Alex Tuch has been very impressive in Buffalo. He has 10 points in 10 games, and they generally look competitive in most games they play, even if they’re not close. There are young players that are improving while Rasmus Dahlin looks great on an improving blue [...]
Today is going to be all about the players that you should be considering picking up from free agency (if they’re available in your leagues) to help fill the void of a player sitting on your injured reserve list. While you generally never find superstar talent on the free agent market, being able to pick [...]
Brendan Gallagher was back at Canadiens practice on Wednesday but did so in a red non-contact jersey. There is no official timeline for his return. He has battled both injury and COVID this year and as a result, like most Canadiens players, he’s had a bad year. A turnaround in the second half doesn’t seem [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL!

If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza. Sonny Milano – [...]
Here are the top 62 goalies to own in your salary cap league – January 26th, 2022 edition. This month, Tuukka Rask makes his return to Boston, but he seems to need a little more time to get his feet under him. Pavel Francouz is finally healthy, and has posted two straight shutouts, giving Darcy [...]
First off, stick tap to Dobber, as one of his Holiday Ramblings gave me the idea for this poll. If you read that edition of the Ramblings, it’s about players succeeding to a large extent – or, arguably, to any extent at all – due to fortunate circumstances, namely their linemates or their defensive pairing. [...]
The Iron-Man record has been broken. Last night Keith Yandle became the all-time leader for consecutive games played, notching his 965th in a row, having not missed a game in nearly 13 years. He is not the same player now that he once was, and he was an underrated top offensive defenceman of the early [...]
In this week's Eastern Edge, we'll look at the midseason fantasy MVP from each team in the Eastern Conference. When I think about value in fantasy hockey, I think about players who have outperformed expectations. So, this article isn't necessarily a list of each team's best player or leading scorer. Instead, I tried to consider [...]
