Welcome to the Eastern Edge, the landscape of the Eastern Conference has changed shape quite a bit over the last week. Carolina has jumped to the top, Washington is among the best, and Montreal continues to slide. Let’s look at the teams and what has changed (or not). Florida Panthers // 9-3-1 // L7 Days: [...]
The injury to Mathew Barzal has put the New York Islanders in a tough spot. He is easily their best playmaker and despite his slow start (five points in 10 games), they need him if they want to consistently look dangerous offensively. In response to the injury, the Islanders changed their PP units on Sunday [...]
Everyone loves a good heater. Regardless of the league format, owning a player or two that are currently cooking usually goes a long way in terms of fantasy squads sitting in good position as we hit the one-month mark of the NHL season. Some of these pieces are already likely widely owned across all leagues, [...]
We ran a power play article a few weeks back and I thought it would be interesting to see what changes to the power play units teams from the West have made in the past three weeks. Changes can happen quickly! Anaheim Ducks (27th in the NHL at 13.9%; 5 goals/36 PP opportunities) Players that [...]
Battle of New York. Battle of top-tier Russian netminders. Ilya Sorokin didn’t come away with the best numbers, but he made a bunch of big saves and fell victim to a bit of bad luck. This was the first time this season – a seven-game span – that he allowed more than three goals. Igor [...]

Joonas Korpisalo picked up his first shutout as a Bruin, which was a 20-save effort against the Flyers. Korpisalo has back-to-back quality starts in the two full games he has played in. As Jeremy Swayman catches up after missing training camp due to his contract situation, Korpisalo could see a little more action than he [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. **** Having a multi-category player is a game-changer, and while this skill set can evolve over a player's career, stumbling upon a true multi-cat unicorn who fills up the stats sheet straight into [...]
Different format this week - I’ll see if there’s feedback. Again, using DraftKings and only considering those NHL games that start at or after 7:00 Eastern, 4:00 Pacific. You get $50,000 of Monopoly dollars to create a lineup of nine players. Goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, and blocked shots are the skater stats. [...]
