If your fantasy lineup has any Bruins or Penguins, hopefully you were able to receive some helpings from the 7-5 score (sorry, any Kris Letang or Bryan Rust owners). Brad Marchand had the biggest day of all, scoring a hat trick while adding one assist and a plus-4 and six shots. Marchand now has goals [...]
It looks like the Canucks won’t be returning to action for quite a while, with an absence that might extend beyond Thursday of next week. Alex Edler, Braden Holtby, Quinn Hughes, Zack MacEwen and Antoine Roussel are joining Adam Gaudette and Travis Hamonic on the COVID protocol list. At one time the league leaders in [...]
On Thursday, many eyes of the sporting world were on opening day in MLB. Hopefully you remembered to set your lineup if you play fantasy baseball! In spite of all the baseball, there was still more than enough hockey on Thursday to talk about. * Due to COVID, Vancouver Canucks games are now postponed for [...]
Before Saturday’s game, Brad Marchand was placed on the COVID protocol list. That resulted in young banger Trent Frederic being placed on the top line with Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak. Although Frederic did not record a point, he logged a season-high 17:30 of icetime and 2:14 on the second power-play unit. Frederic is the [...]
We have a trade to announce. It’s no huge surprise considering the current state of the Buffalo Sabres, as Eric Staal has been traded to Montreal for a third-round and a fifth-round pick in the upcoming draft. For more, check out the fantasy impact article from Mike Clifford. Staal’s value should improve just by getting [...]
Early Saturday, the Sabres traded goalie Jonas Johansson to the Avalanche for a sixth-round pick. Honestly, when cartoon Elliotte Friedman tweeted out the trade with the last name only, I thought Marcus Johansson at first (yes, I do realize he’s with the Wild now, I just hadn’t finished my coffee yet). Then I realized the [...]
With five players now in COVID protocol, the NHL has cancelled the Bruins’ next two games. These include today’s (Saturday’s) game against Buffalo and Tuesday’s game against the NY Islanders. David Pastrnak, Jake DeBrusk, David Krejci, and Craig Smith have joined Sean Kuraly on the COVID protocol list. Unless you’re talking about top-tier options like [...]
There was some concern that the Boston/Buffalo game would be postponed after both teams cancelled their morning skates due to COVID protocol, but they ended up playing anyway. Even with vaccinations increasing by the day and many arenas welcoming fans back in limited capacities, this near-miss serves as a reminder we are still very much [...]
Now that we’ve played two months of this COVID-shortened season, extensive changes are in order for the Top 100 Roto Rankings. More specifically, 13 new players have been moved into the rankings due to strong play that is likely sustainable for the rest of the season. That means 13 other players have been removed due [...]
Another chapter to the Sabres soap opera unfolded on Saturday, as Jack Eichel will be out “for the foreseeable future” with an upper-body injury. The question lingers as to whether this is a legitimate injury that isn't something minor, or a trade request that the Sabres don’t want to make public. Either way, Eichel is [...]
