We are now a month into the season, which provides a better opportunity to re-rank players. Not drastically, but at least noticeably. A few players have moved up because of fast starts, but we’ve moved even more players down due to slow starts that are hurting fantasy teams. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings [...]
Connor McDavid joined the 1000-point club with a goal in the second period against Nashville on Thursday night. McDavid has reached 1000 point in just 659 games, which makes him the 4th-fastest player and 99th player overall to reach that milestone. McDavid later assisted on the overtime winner to give him 1001 career points. A [...]
Could the Sabres be trying to showcase Bowen Byram? With 32:34 of icetime, Byram registered more icetime in a game than any player this season. Byram did not earn a point on Saturday, but he is still hot recently with five points over his last five games. You may have heard that Byram has been [...]
Auston Matthews missed his second consecutive game on Friday, but that was no problem for the Leafs, who were victorious over the Wings by a score of 3-1. Matthews may return to the lineup tonight in the Saturday night clash with the Habs. In Matthews’ absence, Matthew Knies has been on the top power play. [...]
Joonas Korpisalo picked up his first shutout as a Bruin, which was a 20-save effort against the Flyers. Korpisalo has back-to-back quality starts in the two full games he has played in. As Jeremy Swayman catches up after missing training camp due to his contract situation, Korpisalo could see a little more action than he [...]
Aleksander Barkov put on a show for the fans in his native Finland, scoring a goal and adding three assists in the Panthers’ 6-4 win over Dallas on Friday. The Florida captain has piled on six points in just two games since his return from a lower-body injury, so hopefully you’ve been able to get [...]
Happy Halloween! Hope your fantasy team has had more treats than tricks so far. As you search the contents of your Halloween bag (or your kid’s bag!) to separate the quality candy from the undesirable kind, let’s do the same for our fantasy teams. Martin Necas has been bringing the full-size chocolate bars for his [...]
Sean Couturier had a game that nobody expected. The Flyers’ captain smashed a 32-game goal drought with a hat trick and two assists and a plus-5, reaching 500 points while leading his team to a 7-5 win over Minnesota in a matinee game. Couturier had hardly made an impact before Saturday, as he entered this [...]
The Rangers have signed Alexis Lafreniere to a seven-year, $52.15 million contract extension, which works out to a $7.45 million cap hit. That’s a significant raise from the $2.325 million cap hit that Lafreniere has on the final year of his contract, so cap league teams will need to budget for that next season. Lafreniere [...]
Hi, it’s Ian, filling in for Alex today. On Tuesday, the NHL promoted its first Frozen Frenzy in which all 32 teams play on the same night. From a marketing standpoint, it makes sense because it’s a day that the NHL can (mostly) have to itself on the North American sports landscape. The World Series [...]
