Welcome back to Analytics Advantage! With the NHL campaign well underway, key players are already standing out, and fantasy managers are reaping the rewards. This week, we’ll delve into Fantasy Points Per Game (FPPG), a comprehensive stat that incorporates points from goals, assists, shots, blocked shots, and hits, giving a balanced view of a player’s [...]
Maveric Lamoureux has been called up by Utah. The 29th overall pick from 2022 had three points in four games to start his AHL season in Tucson, but is already with the team as they look to rebound from their 4-0 loss at the hands of Ottawa. Utah is at home to Colorado on Thursday. [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]

Anthony Duclair had been off to a good start to his 2024-25 season with two goals and three points through New York’s first four games. Considering the team was shut out twice in those four games, it was a pretty good offensive performance. Unfortunately, Duclair got hurt in the third period of their fifth game [...]
Finding a diamond in the fantasy rough is the kind of angle that astute GMs regularly cover. Not every winning team is built solely on superstars eating 19-plus minutes a night. Sometimes, it’s the players maximizing limited playing time by putting up points and covering peripheral categories in 10-to-15 minutes of ice time per night. [...]
