We should look at each team in the Western Conference and see what players have been, or could be, an injury risk in 2024-25. This is such a contact sport that any player can be injured at any time, but these players seem to have either bad luck or a style that leads to more [...]

For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy hockey standpoint and graded them.

We will focus on shooting percentage, PDO, 5on5 shooting percentage and secondary assist percentage to see where the players below were outside the norm in 2023-24. Shooting percentage is self explanatory as it will affect goals, whereas PDO can be an indication [...]
