One common question that I get asked leading up to fantasy drafts is which players I like as potential sleepers. This season I’ll try to be proactive and jump on that question early. Keep in mind that leagues come in all different shapes and sizes, so what may be a sleeper for one may not [...]
According to Elliotte Friedman, Phil Kessel would like to play in 2023-24 and is not concerned about his ironman streak ending. Kessel suited up for just four playoff games during the Golden Knights’ run to the Stanley Cup, but playoff games don’t count in an ironman streak. However, his playoff deployment should probably foreshadow the [...]
There are some new stats for goalies on Frozen Tools: Quality Weeks, Really Bad Weeks, and Star Weeks. If they sound familiar, they are simply the Quality Starts and Really Bad Starts stats expanded to a week. They are the brainchild of Ryan Brudner, who you might know as @fantasycheddar on Twitter. https://twitter.com/FrozenTools/status/1693998288645788078 By the [...]
Finding content to write about during the dead of summer is a real challenge, so I might as well try to kill two birds with one stone. That’s why I’m practicing my skills by participating in mock drafts and writing about them afterward. Hopefully it helps you in some way with your draft while covering [...]

You can also find the number and percentage of games where they recorded at least two points. To [...]

To find this information, click More Stats to show the full grid of buttons (if needed), then under the Production heading select Top EV Line (for even-strength production) or Top PP Line (for power-play production). Top Forward Lines by Production [...]
Jonathan Toews has announced on his Instagram account that he won’t play in 2023-24. Toews did not officially retire, which opens the door for a possible return in 2024-25. However, I’d be willing to bet that this is the last we’ve seen of Toews as a player, since he is now 35 years of age [...]
The NHL might be in its dead period for news, but there’s still plenty of updates to the Roto Rankings. For starters, significant players that were injured during the regular season and playoffs have been added back to the rankings. As well, Yahoo rankings are now available with mock drafts, so we’ve updated the rankings [...]
