The NHL schedule makers don’t care that you might have had no one to roster on Friday, but on Saturday you’ll have a surplus of players that you’ll need to make start/sit decisions on. If you were looking to get your hockey fix on Friday, only one game was on the schedule, and it was [...]
It was a bad night for the two starting goalies in the Dallas/Florida game. Scott Wedgewood was stretchered off the ice during the second period, although the injury simply turned out to be a massive back spasm. It’s good that the injury is not as serious as it first appeared, but I’m not sure what [...]
One month of NHL action has come and gone, and we now have a small sample size on the season. That has resulted in many changes to the rankings, particularly closer to the bottom of the rankings. Some unexpected names have also broken into the top 100, and of course injuries have played a role [...]
Alex DeBrincat led the Senators with a pair of power-play goals in their 4-1 matinee win in Philadelphia. The goals were the Cat’s first in seven games. I saw someone on Twitter making a case that DeBrincat has struggled early in his first season with the Senators. Maybe in the goal-scoring department, but he’s now [...]
Zach Werenski is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season after suffering a separated shoulder and torn labrum during Thursday’s game. This is the worst possible news for those rostering Werenski, in particular those rostering him in single-season leagues. Werenski is already a certified Band-Aid Boy, having missed at least 14 games in [...]
Cam Talbot made his season and Senators debut on Thursday, although it wasn’t planned that way. Anton Forsberg was given the hook after allowing five goals on 19 shots. Forsberg has allowed at least four goals in each of his last three games, so should we call him Foursberg? Kidding aside, Forsberg has hit a [...]
Hey, it’s Ian on what isn’t my usual day. I’m filling in for Alex as he will do the same for me this weekend. I don’t know about you, but injuries are making their way through the defense corps of my various rosters. Charlie McAvoy, Victor Hedman, John Carlson, and Kris Letang are all [...]
Jake Oettinger has had a fantastic start, so it would be a shame if he were to miss time due to injury. Oettinger left Saturday’s matinee match with the Rangers in the second period with a lower-body injury. According to Mike Heika of the team’s website, Oettinger is expected to “see doctors and we’ll know [...]
Yesterday I listed the names of some slumping Ducks, courtesy of the Frozen Tools Cold Players list. Well, you can add one more game for these players’ slumps, with the Ducks getting shut out by Vegas. The name that seems to be of the most interest is John Klingberg, who is now without a point [...]
Earlier than originally projected (but maybe not because he’s a fast healer), Brad Marchand made his season debut on Thursday. He didn’t disappoint, scoring two goals and adding an assist with four shots in a 5-1 win over Detroit. Marchand’s ADP on Yahoo was 117, so the early return means that he could provide some [...]
