A Carter Hart shutout during the fantasy playoffs? That’s right. Hart stopped 29 shots in a 3-0 blanking of the Red Wings in one of many early games on Saturday. John Tortorella definitely doesn’t believe in tanking, and that has shown in the Flyers’ recent play. Hart has now won his last four starts, while [...]
Patrik Laine is expected to miss the next two to four weeks with a tricep strain from Thursday’s practice. Unfortunate timing, as Laine had posted multiple points in each of his last three games and four of his past five games. Try to move Laine to an injured slot or the bench if you can, [...]
Darcy Kuemper suffered an upper-body injury in practice on Saturday, which means that Charlie Lindgren could start today (Sunday) against Minnesota and possibly beyond that. Lindgren deserves at least a short-term pickup not only because of Kuemper’s injury but also because of some juicy home matchups coming up against Columbus and Chicago… although sharp turn, [...]
With an assist on Friday, Pavel Buchnevich has extended his point streak to 11 games. Over that span, he has recorded 19 points (7 G, 12 A), including a hat trick in his previous game on Wednesday. Because he’s experienced multiple injury stoppages this season and also the Blues’ struggles, Buchnevich perhaps isn’t receiving the [...]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hope you can enjoy a Guinness or a green beer or your beverage of choice sometime today, and that your fantasy week has been as lucky as a four-leaf clover. The NHL has suspended Jordan Binnington for two games as a result of his antics from Wednesday’s game against Minnesota. In [...]
It’s hard to believe that there’s only one month left in the regular season. Some leagues have already started their playoffs, while others will be soon to follow. Either way, we’re rounding into the home stretch, which in redraft leagues increases the number of reasonable options and decreases the number of players you need to [...]
Because of another commitment this evening, I’m posting this an hour or two later than I normally do. If you live in a time zone where the clocks move ahead one hour, then it’s going to be like 2-3 hours behind the normal time. Hopefully better late than never, and hopefully your internal clock can [...]
Remember when the Flyers were picked as a Stanley Cup favorite in the 2020 bubble? They’ve free-fallen considerably since then, first replacing the coach and now the GM Chuck Fletcher. Injuries have piled up since then to key players like Sean Couturier, Ryan Ellis, and Cam Atkinson (among others), but the Flyers did not have [...]
In the Lightning’s 5-3 loss to the Sabres, Jon Cooper decided to send his stars a message, benching Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Brayden Point for the entire third period. After the game, Cooper said that the three weren’t giving the Lightning their best chance to win. All three had made the scoresheet earlier in [...]
If you took the day off work to watch the hours of coverage from one of the sports networks that covers the NHL, hopefully you enjoyed the singing, acting, trivia, endless panel discussions, and other filler during that time. Although there were a couple of fantasy-relevant trades and many other minor deals, this trade deadline [...]
