Cap League Goalie Rankings – May 2025

By |2025-05-28T15:20:49-04:00May 28th, 2025|Latest|

Welcome everyone, we’re now entering the Dustin Wolf era, as the flip to the 2025-26 numbers in the system serve his outlook well, and he’s providing ridiculous value even compared to the names just below him on the list like Pyotr Kochetkov and Anthony Stolarz. That’s because there’s no other workhorse goalie out there right [...]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is throwing his hat into the ring for the Conn Smythe Trophy, with his two primary assists in game four to bring him to nine points in the four-game series against the Stars. Corey Perry also hit the scoresheet twice with a goal and an assist.  Skinner stopped 28 of 29 shots in [...]

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 [...]

Ramblings: Canes and Oilers Win; Injury News From Winnipeg, St. Louis and Dallas; Zuccarello; Garand; Bratt & Darkhorse Fantasy Pick Ups (May 8)

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 [...]

Ramblings: Canes Moving On; Ullmark Sturdies Sens; Tocchet Out; Looking at Older Players and Second-Half Drop-Offs & More (Apr 30)

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 [...]

Ramblings: M. Tkachuk Pots Two; W. Smith to Center; Kane Aiming for 1500 Games; My Fantasy Season Recap & More (Apr 23)

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. [...]

Ramblings: Voronkov’s Future Scoring; Forum Playoff Draft; Battle of Ontario; Dissecting the Predators & More (Apr 16)

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 [...]
