As we head into the final month of the regular season, player rankings remain fairly settled. That is why you won’t see many changes again this month, particularly at the top. The stat categories for the Roto Rankings are as follows: Goals, Assists, Special Teams Points, Shots on Goal, Penalty Minutes, Hits, and Blocked Shots. [...]
If this is a fantasy playoff week for you, Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov are doing everything possible to help you (or your opponent) win, even though the Lightning are playing only two games this week. Point was involved in all six of the Lightning’s goals on Thursday, scoring three of them and assisting on [...]
Hey, it’s Ian again today, filling in for Brennan. Now that the Penguins’ playoff odds are in the single digits as per MoneyPuck, the rest of the season is starting to feel like a death march for Sidney Crosby and friends. The Pens just finished the three-games-in-four-days schedule that is beneficial for fantasy teams, but [...]
Evgeny Kuznetsov made his Hurricanes debut on Saturday, playing on an even-strength line with Jesper Fast and Jesperi Kotkaniemi while receiving first-unit power-play minutes. He was held without a point in 13 minutes, but he took two shots. Even though it looks like he might have to start in the bottom 6 for the Hurricanes, [...]

Vancouver Canucks fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The Canucks and Elias Pettersson have agreed to an eight-year extension at $11.6 million per season. The belief is that Pettersson had originally stated he wanted to wait until the offseason to negotiate a new contract, but the Canucks wanted this resolved sooner. The fact [...]
Imagine that you’re the team that ends a struggling team’s 14-game losing streak. In addition, said team with the losing streak was playing the second game of back-to-backs on the road. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2023-24 Ottawa Senators. https://twitter.com/BR_OpenIce/status/1763758235532623884 So yeah, the Senators could look different very soon. Vladimir Tarasenko seems like the perfect rental [...]
Joseph Woll made his long-awaited return to the Leafs lineup on Thursday. Playing in his first game since December 7, Woll stopped 30 of 32 shots while earning a 3-2 win over Arizona. Hopefully you were able to activate him in time for what was a juicy home matchup against the struggling Coyotes, who have [...]
Of course, the morning (to me) after I applaud Jordan Binnington for his bounce-back season, he is tagged with a really bad start after allowing four goals in the first period against Detroit.
