Saturday’s loss to the Jets was a costly one for the Wild, as both Kirill Kaprizov and Filip Gustavsson left the game with injuries. Kaprizov was cross-checked to the back twice, while Gustavsson left with a lower-body injury. After a poor start, Gustavsson was finding his game under new coach John Hynes with an 8-2 [...]
Nico Daws’ first game since the 2021-22 season was a success. Daws made 25 saves in the Devils’ 6-2 win over Ottawa. Daws was recalled earlier this week when Akira Schmid was sent to the AHL. Although Vitek Vanecek has played a little better recently, Daws could easily push him for starts in Jersey with [...]

If you’re in a head-to-head league, Saturday was the final day of your matchup. In other words, no players to stream today. The league is off on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday as the league heads into a three-day break. A very merry Christmas to the Vancouver Canucks, who lead the NHL in points (49), goals [...]
Goaltending in fantasy hockey is fickle; hence, the popularity of Zero G and other methods of fading goalies. I won’t profess to being a hockey training expert, but it seems like performance is more psychologically-based at the goaltending position than at any other. Ilya Samsonov’s interview after Thursday’s debacle (five goals allowed in less than [...]
Gabriel Vilardi is the most-searched player on Frozen Tools as I write this, which makes sense because he should unquestionably be the top waiver-wire pickup of the past week. In case you haven’t been following, Vilardi has five goals and 10 points and a plus-10 over his last four games, which includes three multi-point games. [...]
The Hurricanes have placed Antti Raanta on waivers. Raanta is hardly the only Carolina goalie to struggle this season, but he had managed just one quality start in his past five games and has more really bad starts (5) than quality starts (4). Most recently, Raanta allowed six goals in a 6-5 overtime loss to [...]
As you may have seen on my X account, I just returned from a field trip to Seattle to watch the Kraken play the Blackhawks at Climate Pledge Arena. Needless to say, I have some observations based on that game. After the Kraken lost eight games in a row, Joey Daccord has posted wins in [...]
There are plenty of updates for the Roto Rankings for December. Lots of injuries to account for, plus we have more of a sample size from players so we have a better idea of what to expect for the rest of the season. As of September, the updated stat categories for the Roto Rankings are [...]
Boone Jenner is expected to miss the next six weeks with a broken jaw. The Columbus captain leads the Blue Jackets with 13 goals and 80 shots on goal while leading Jackets forwards in icetime (19:18). Expect rookies Adam Fantilli and Dmitri Voronkov to pick up more icetime and potentially increase their value while Jenner [...]
