Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas continue to pile on the points. MacKinnon scored two goals and Necas chipped in three assists in the Avalanche’s 3-2 overtime win over the Rangers. Necas has eight points over his last four games, pulling into the top 5 in scoring. Meanwhile, MacKinnon continues to add to his lead in [...]
Former Devil Akira Schmid posted a 24-save shutout of his former team, leading the Golden Knights to a 3-0 win on Friday. Schmid has a solid 2.35 GAA this season, but he might otherwise be the goaltending definition of “mid.” Schmid has just six quality starts in 16 games, but he also has only three [...]
Brandon Hagel was the most common choice among Dobber writers as player to disappoint this season in the 2025-26 Season Predictions. It seemed as though they were on to something early on when Hagel got off to an awful start with just a single point in his first seven games. However, Hagel turned things around [...]
Friday’s schedule was much busier than normal due to Black Friday, the day after American Thanksgiving (is it an official holiday in the US now, or is it simply understood that workers will take the day off there?) It also meant that most games had earlier-than-normal start times, so hopefully your lineup was set in [...]
After a slow start, Adam Fantilli is justifying why he was a popular sleeper pick in fantasy drafts. With his goal on Saturday, Fantilli now has seven goals in his last eight games and 12 points over his last 11 games. This after he started the season with just two goals and five points over [...]
Connor Hellebuyck is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, as he will undergo a minor arthroscopic knee procedure. The timeline should make Hellebuyck available in January, about a month before the Olympics start. After starting in the 4 Nations last season, Hellebuyck has the inside track to be the starting goalie for the USA [...]
Well, what can you say about Jack Hughes. With the news that he will miss eight weeks following finger surgery, you can dock at least 20 games again from him for the third consecutive season. The fact that this was not even an injury from a game or even practice this time around (a team [...]
With one month of the season now in the books, many players have moved either up or down from their preseason rank. On top of that, injuries and other absences longer than a week have pulled more players out of the top 100. All of this is to say that the deck has been reshuffled [...]
Let’s start with some injury news, since we can’t get enough of it with this season’s condensed schedule. Filed under the weird and bizarre category, Jack Hughes reportedly suffered a cut to his hand at a team dinner and is expected to miss Saturday’s game against Washington as a result. The exact injury and timeline [...]
Cole Caufield scored two goals in the Canadiens’ 6-2 win over Utah. The goals vaulted Caufield to the league lead in that category with 12 (until Nathan MacKinnon tied him later in the evening). Surprisingly, Caufield could be shooting the puck more, as he has averaged only 2.6 shots per game – over a shot [...]
