Max Pacioretty made his long-awaited Carolina Hurricanes debut, as if the Metropolitan Division leaders need to bolster their lineup any further. Pacioretty was held without a point although he registered six shots and two hits if you decided to throw him into your lineup. I’m sometimes hesitant to immediately place a player into my lineup [...]

DFS Thursday: Toronto Stars To Shine Against Seattle, and Lindholm in Los Angeles

I might be getting the hang of this. Tuesday was my third “win” in a row, although not as much as last week, simply doubling my $4 bet. No, I didn’t have any of Anton Forsberg’s shutout, or Matthew Tkachuk’s or Tage Thompson’s hat tricks, so the top tier was far above me.  Moving to [...]

Sending down their young players is one option, but it seems the team is going in another direction. Jakub Vrana was put on waivers Tuesday while we got [...]

Eastern Edge: Risers Among Shots On Goal, Ice Time, and Power Play Production

By |2023-01-03T15:23:37-05:00January 3rd, 2023|Eastern Edge|

In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss players enjoying a higher volume of shots, ice time, or power-play points compared to last season. Shots on Goal Martin Necas Necas’s breakout performance this year has received a fair amount of attention. Although his impressive point totals have been highlighted frequently, his improved shot totals haven’t been [...]

DFS Tuesday: Lean on Sorokin in Vancouver; Target Sabres Against Capitals

The Winter Classic was indeed a good and truly “classic” and entertaining game, unless you’re a Penguins fan.
