The news on Max Pacioretty wasn’t expected to be positive, but it was confirmed on Friday. Pacioretty re-tore his Achilles late in the third period of Thursday night’s game. I’d be surprised if he plays any more games this regular season, given how long normal recoveries from this type of injury take. A rough turn [...]
It’s January in Chicago and although I like most of you out there haven’t seen the sun in little over a week, I have been finding a game or two that’s been good on each slate so far this week. With a solid weekend slate ahead to cap off the week, let’s dive in!The Immediate [...]
Today we are going for a deep dive and looking at player production through a slightly different lens. As any fantasy manager can attest there is quite a bit of variation from game to game, and even from week to week. Players can go from matchup defining games to cardio sessions with negligible fantasy impact. [...]
Matt Dumba was made a healthy scratch on Thursday, possibly because the Wild are currently working on a trade involving him. At one time, Dumba was a universally rostered player, but he has fallen out of that category (19% Yahoo/40% Fantrax). Could a trade revitalize his fantasy value? Dumba is a right-shot defenseman, so teams [...]
It is Thursday once again, so let’s find some winning NHL props. The NHL schedule is packed with 13 games tonight which means we have an overwhelming number of options to find some winning prop bets. I’ve taken my time to carefully look over every matchup tonight, and I think I’ve found a few props [...]
So, I’ll think through the daily fantasy reasoning first today. There are many ways to look at tonight’s 13-game slate. We can look at home teams playing against weaker defense and goaltending (Flyers v. Hawks, Blue Jackets v. Ducks, Golden Knights v. Red Wings) or maybe good teams hosting back-to-back squads playing on the road [...]
I think once a month or so I will do an article about players I consider valuable waiver wire pickups. Things in consideration when looking at names to pick up off waivers would include points within the last 10 games (shows some level of consistency), average time on ice (ATOI shows their likelihood of being [...]
Josh Norris returned to the Ottawa lineup on Wednesday night as the team hosted Pittsburgh, as close to a must-win game as there can be for the Senators in the middle of January. He had been out nearly three months thanks to a shoulder injury, which was a tough blow for a team and player [...]
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 our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up. This week we’re going to do a deep dive on the Seattle Kraken. After an incredible seven straight road game wins that saw Seattle post a 22-goal differential and 5.3 goals for per game, the team is now fourth in goals for in the entire league. Despite [...]
