With a hat trick and an assist on Friday, Mats Zuccarello has extended his point streak to nine games. Over that span he has 13 points (5 G, 8 A). I’ll admit that I didn’t think it was going to work for Zuccarello and the Wild when they signed him to a five-year contract in [...]
The Alex Ovechkin watch continued on Thursday, but unfortunately, he did not score a goal in the Capitals’ 2-1 loss to Dallas. In case you haven’t been following, Ovie has reached 800 career goals and needs just one goal to pass Gordie Howe for second on the all-time goals list. Even without a goal, Ovechkin [...]
The injuries are really starting to hit rosters this month, as many Roto Rankings regulars are being pushed out of the rankings onto the injured list. That means many new names will enter the top 100, particularly those that have been making noise early in the season. Want to find out how your players stack [...]
Kris Letang might be a certified Band-Aid Boy, but he’s also a medical marvel. Just 12 days after suffering a stroke, Letang was back in the Penguins’ lineup on Saturday. Although he did not record a point, he delivered seven hits and blocked three shots in 22 minutes of icetime. Jeff Petry remained on the [...]
At age 24, Matthew Phillips has paid his dues in both the WHL and AHL. After two 90+ point seasons in the WHL, Phillips has built up his value in the AHL to the point where he is currently tied for the lead in scoring with 30 points in 20 games. The one reason Phillips [...]
Brock Boeser was supposed to be a healthy scratch on Saturday, but a morning skate injury to Dakota Joshua meant that Boeser was re-inserted into the lineup. Boeser had been held without a point with a minus-3 in the three games leading up to Saturday, although he had a nine-game point streak prior to that. [...]
Cal Petersen being placed on waivers wasn’t something I had predicted before the season, even if he wasn’t going to unseat Jonathan Quick as the Kings starter. Yet with an .888 SV% and negative GSAA (goals saved above average) dating back to the start of last season, it was becoming more and more apparent that [...]
Sometimes when a goal drought ends, the floodgates open. Sparking a third-period comeback for the Oilers, Evan Bouchard scored his first two goals of the season in the third period against the Rangers. Bouchard also had four shots and two hits in a game where he snapped a 20-game stretch without a goal to start [...]
Although not an official government holiday, Black Friday resulted in a bunch of early games and an unusually high number of games overall for a Friday. Hopefully you remembered to set your lineup in time (I usually set it the night before just in case I lose internet or I have to deal with some [...]
The New Jersey Devils won their 12th consecutive game in a Saturday matinee, and they were able to do so without much offense from their three main scoring threats in Jesper Bratt, Jack Hughes, and Nico Hischier (just one combined point). The Devils are firing on all cylinders right now and are a team that [...]
