In case you decided to make other plans on Saturday, the Atlantic Division defeated the Central Division 7-5 in the All-Star Game final on Saturday. Dylan Larkin scored a hat trick in the final game for the Atlantic Division. Playing in his home rink, Matthew Tkachuk was named the game MVP with four goals and [...]
The Washington Capitals have used the break to lock up Dylan Strome to a long-term deal, signing him to a five-year contract worth $25 million. After not being qualified by the rebuilding Blackhawks, Strome was able to leverage a one-year “show me” $3.5 million deal with the Capitals into something more secure. With the Capitals [...]
Although Sunday through Wednesday featured a very light schedule, Thursday was the first day without any games, signifying the first day of the All-Star break. If you’re into the All-Star Game itself or the skills competition or any of the other festivities, enjoy. If anything All-Star is not your bag, then use the time to [...]
Alex DeBrincat entered Saturday’s game with no points in his last four games and just three points in 12 games in January. Prior to January, DeBrincat was a point-per-game player (36 points in 36 games). Fortunately, DeBrincat scored a goal on Saturday and had also recorded an assist that appeared to be taken away later.

Auston Matthews is expected to be out for at least the next three weeks with a knee sprain. Matthews reportedly injured his knee during Wednesday’s game against the Rangers. With the injury to Matthews, Michael Bunting moved to the first-unit power play for Friday’s game against Ottawa. As well, Bunting was on the Leafs’ new [...]

In what has been the league’s worst-kept secret and worst-handled situation with a head coach in quite [...]
The Montreal Canadiens have been swamped with injuries this season, but their most recent one is their most significant so far. The team announced that Cole Caufield will miss the rest of the regular season, as he will undergo surgery on his right shoulder. Caufield finishes the season with 26 goals in just 46 games, [...]
The news on Max Pacioretty wasn’t expected to be positive, but it was confirmed on Friday. Pacioretty re-tore his Achilles late in the third period of Thursday night’s game. I’d be surprised if he plays any more games this regular season, given how long normal recoveries from this type of injury take. A rough turn [...]
Matt Dumba was made a healthy scratch on Thursday, possibly because the Wild are currently working on a trade involving him. At one time, Dumba was a universally rostered player, but he has fallen out of that category (19% Yahoo/40% Fantrax). Could a trade revitalize his fantasy value? Dumba is a right-shot defenseman, so teams [...]
Believe it or not, the list of key injured players is shorter than it was last month. So it’s simply a numbers game as far as players getting dropped out of the top 100 or certain hot players that didn’t quite make it. Want to find out how your players stack up against others overall [...]
