I’m not hearing much complaining from Montreal fans about Carey Price’s contract these days. This is big-money goaltending. And it certainly bodes well for his fantasy value heading into next season. I think I’m done predicting any series involving Montreal this year. They’ve now won six in a row, and this is a team that [...]

Carolina hung in there, but in the end the Tampa team is just too strong. But the Lightning seriously shortened the bench. In fact, just four forwards saw more than 16:10 of ice time: Nikita Kucherov, Alex Killorn, Brayden Point and Barclay Goodrow. Steven Stamkos was seventh in ice time, as Coach Jon Cooper tried [...]

Here are the Top 50 prospect defensemen to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - May edition!
