At around this time of the NHL season, players and teams have played around 80 games in the calendar year of 2022. I’ve looked at the statistics for players for that period using Dobber’s Frozen Tools and came away with some interesting takeaways below. Points Connor McDavid leads the NHL and the West with 133 [...]
Winter will officially begin this week, but it seems as if some players got a head start on the coldest season judging by their on-ice performance. Players go through cold streaks quite often, but fantasy general managers can deal with it if it's only for three games. At worst, it costs you one week in [...]
In case you missed it: The 15th annual Midseason Guide will be released on Friday, January 13! Pre-order it here. This is included in the Platinum/Gold subscriptions only, or the Ultimate Fantasy Pack (not the Keeper League Pack). * I know we’ve talked about Sam Steel on here quite a bit over the last two [...]
Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean and Dobber — 1. The Alex Ovechkin watch continues. In case you haven't been following, Ovie has reached 800 career goals and needs just one goal [...]
With Christmas right around the corner I thought it would be fun to do a bit of a season recap and go over some of the fantasy players who have done well or exceeded expectations, and also cover a couple of the under-achievers up to this point. It’s been a wild season this far that [...]
The Alex Ovechkin goal watch to match and pass Gordie Howe will wait at least one more game. Ovechkin did not record even a point, let alone a goal. He was held to two shots as well, although he had a decent night in bangers formats with six hits. His next chance will be Monday [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. This week, we will do a deep dive on a single player to answer an interesting question in fantasy right now: could Akira Schmid, 22, be a legitimate option in net [...]
Gold Selection Columbus Blue Jackets @ Boston Bruins - Pick: Bruins over Jackets (-360 ML, -145 to cover 1.5 goal spread) First, the Bruins are simply better. Second, they’re at home, where they’re 15-0-2. Third, two of those overtime losses have been in their past three home games, and I just don’t see them going [...]
Boring week of fantasy here as we didn’t have a single player score five goals in one game or put up 70 DraftKings points, can you believe it? Oh well, maybe next week. As we returned to more normal scoring, the NHL has returned to their more normal schedule as well. That’s left us with [...]
With a hat trick and an assist on Friday, Mats Zuccarello has extended his point streak to nine games. Over that span he has 13 points (5 G, 8 A). I’ll admit that I didn’t think it was going to work for Zuccarello and the Wild when they signed him to a five-year contract in [...]
