The Panthers jumped out ahead of the Hurricanes with a 5-2 win last night in game one of the Eastern Conference final. Carter Verhaeghe led the way with the opening goal and an assist. Fredrerik Andersen had his worst night of the playoffs, allowing five goals on 20 shots (only the second time this post-season [...]
Miro Heiskanen was finally available for Dallas, and he played a lot less than his usual workload, generally taking short shifts, and showing the occasional uncharacteristic mishap. He’s not 100%, but he did provide some solid play on the whole, added an assist, and Dallas came out with the win in the end. That means [...]
Frederik Andersen had the best GSAA numbers in round one (a cumulative stat noting how many goals above average a goalie stopped), despite playing only 3.5 games. He made his return for game two last night, and only allowed one across just over three periods last night in the overtime in Washington. He could be [...]
With the first round getting closer to being closed out, some of you have pools where you get to replace injured/lost players, or otherwise pick new players for round two (and potentially beyond). Let’s dive into how best to do that. At this point, most of you and your competition have tried focusing in on [...]
Matthew Tkachuk made his return from injury to score twice (one of which was nearly the game winner if a Tampa goal was called back) and add an assist. If the Panthers are healthy then they’re going to be a handful for the Bolts. Nate Schmidt more surprisingly also added two goals in the win. [...]
There are only two days left in the regular season, and a few teams are already done. For those of us still fighting for our lives in a couple of leagues, there are still 13 games left to be played, six tonight and seven on Thursday, with Detroit and Carolina both playing on back-to-back nights. [...]
There’s not a whole lot of advice or info we can give you at this point to help with the rest of the fantasy season, as we’re in the last week and it’s likely just at the point of setting and watching your team do all the work now. What I will note, is that [...]
Fantasy playoffs are in full swing, and I know because I’m still trying to regulate my breathing after managing through two tight matches on Sunday. One league I lost by a couple of blocks and a power play point, the other league I won because I added David Rittich three weeks ago with eyes on [...]
Welcome to what is likely the last time in a run of over two years that Logan Thompson will be the top value goalie in cap leagues. With his extension kicking in this summer, the torch will likely be passed to Pyotr Kochetkov who has two years remaining on his cheap deal, and looks primed [...]
Jakob Chychrun signed a big eight-year extension worth $9 million per season, which sets the Capitals up well for next season, and gives Chychrun the big payday he’s been looking for. The Capitals will have about $11 million for their final three-to-five roster spots Also, Chychrun did play last night after being questionable due to [...]
