The Devils beat the Panthers to keep their playoff hopes alive and Jaromir Jagr finally broke out of a slump in a big way. Jagr hadn’t picked up a point in four games but notched a goal and three assists against Florida. For a minute I thought his age was catching up to him late [...]
Some late notes, meant to get this out earlier in the afternoon - Jason Spezza is out day-to-day, he'll miss tonight's game and J-G Pageau has been called up and will play.

It's not often that you see the kind of implosion that we're seeing right now with the Toronto Maple Leafs. May this never happen to you in your fantasy hockey league. It has happened to me before. Once. I had it locked with two weeks left. A title. And a mystifying slump lost it for [...]
