This week we are returning to our playoff series with the second part of our first-round review. Last week we covered the teams eliminated from the Western Conference: Nashville, Vegas, LA, and Winnipeg. This week we are moving on to talk about the Eastern Conference, which means Toronto, Washington, Tampa, and the New York Islanders. [...]
The first round of the playoffs is officially wrapped, and it is time to turn our attentions, at long last, to those series. We are going to dive into this extra set of games and see if there is anything to learn about a player’s performance. We will go round by round and look at [...]
We will return to the playoffs once the first round is concluded, but for this week we are moving on with part two of our Most Valuable series. Last week we reviewed the center position and this week we will be taking a look at right wings. As a reminder here is some context for [...]
We won’t be covering the NHL playoffs blow by blow in this column, though we will touch on teams a bit as they get knocked out in each round. For this week, and for several upcoming weeks, we will be taking a look back over full season data and find out which players provided the [...]

The goal was to find players you might want to add/drop during these do-or-die matchups (at least for leagues using a head-to-head format). This week is likely to be our last looking forward article. A lot of leagues are finishing [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to complete the trio. The last two weeks we have been reviewing players who might be worth a stream in do or die fantasy matchups. We have hit on forwards and defensemen and this week we are turning our attention to goalies. In order to grab [...]
Congrats if you are still invested in a hockey team at this point, it likely means your fantasy journey is continuing. Last week we focused on some immediate players who were streaking and whether or not they might be good adds to your roster. We also hit on a few highly rostered players who might [...]
