Small sample size crops up at this time of year when prospects get called up at the end of the season. In Carter Yakemchuk’s case, it gets him a big boost as he has two points in one game at the time of processing the rankings. Obviously he won’t keep that up, so he’s going [...]
After an incredibly busy night last night, I’m sure you’re tired of hearing about (and dealing with) how this week’s NHL schedule is so unbalanced. Next week it gets a bit better, and if you’re in a position to get a jump on schedule management there, then target the five-game week from the Penguins. Now, [...]
Charlie Coyle continued his dominant run since Rick Bowness joined the Blue Jackets, scoring a goal and three assists, with two of those points on the power play. Over a full season his numbers under Bowness would have him pacing for over 100 points, over 200 SOG, over 25 PPPs, over 80 Hits, and a [...]
The Kings may have lost Kevin Fiala and Andrei Kuzmenko to injury, but the addition of Artemi Panarin to the duo of Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe has been fantastic and has kept the Kings afloat. All three are were on hot streaks of point-per-game or better across the last week, prior to Tuesday night’s [...]
The Calgary Flames continue to sell off, moving MacKenzie Weegar out to the Utah Mammoth in exchange for Olli Maatta, Jonathan Castagna, and three second round picks in 2026 (UTA/OTT/NYR). For Utah, it’s a coup to pull off a deal for such an impact player without giving up one of their top prospects like [...]

Cliffy touched on the first game with the new coach for LA in yesterday’s Ramblings, and I just wanted to dive further into a couple of other details that might be fantasy relevant there. Alex Laferriere has been a multi-category beast over the last two months since he was moved to centre full-time. He is [...]
The Olympics are done, and I for one am going to miss having sports on in the background all day. The Men’s hockey especially, with the return of the NHL players was quite a treat. The level of play was fantastic, and hopefully it means we don’t see the NHL remove participation anymore. As a [...]
We’re still a week away from the NHL returning, so to open up today let’s open up with some Olympics recaps of the Men’s Qualification Play-Off round from yesterday (which is a short way to say that the winners make the quarter finals against other group of teams that received a bye). In the early [...]
Happy Friday the 13th, it’s Alex MacLean here covering for Cliffy who has earned a well deserved weekend off. * Day two of the men’s Olympic Ice Hockey saw Canada and the United States make great impressions with five goals apiece in convincing wins over the Czechs and Latvia respectively. Switzerland and Germany also earned [...]
