Welcome back to Analytics Advantage! The 2025 NHL season is officially underway, and as fantasy managers, staying informed on early performances is crucial for building a successful team. Preseason statistics can be a valuable predictor of early performance, especially when we look beyond traditional metrics and focus on advanced analytics like Corsi For Percentage (CF%) [...]
There has been a lot of chatter over the last several months when it comes to goaltenders and contracts. There was Jeremy Swayman in Boston who didn’t get his extension until the weekend and thus didn’t start the season opener. There was also Ilya Sorokin and Connor Hellebuyck starting their new $8M+ AAV deals this [...]
