It’s hard to believe that we’re already a month into the season. Since the last Roto Rankings were released in early January, you’ll find updates on most players on this list. If some of the fast starters that aren’t on this list can keep their current levels of production, they may find themselves on this [...]
Yesterday I discussed how the North (Canadian) Division has been the highest-scoring division, even by average games played. So how about these for final scores from Canada today: 2-1, 2-1, and 3-1. Defensive hockey was really the theme for Hockey Day in Canada, making hockey coaches everywhere smile. There’s going to be some regression from [...]
The Ottawa Senators have acquired forward Ryan Dzingel from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forwards Cedric Paquette and Alex Galchenyuk. Dzingel will be on his second tour of duty with the Senators, having started his career with Ottawa in 2015-16 and being traded to Columbus near the 2019 trade deadline. Meanwhile, Galchenyuk will be [...]
The Bruins are one of the league’s hottest teams, having gone 9-0-1 in last 10 games. That streak includes a 1-0 win over the Rangers on Friday. Jaroslav Halak pitched the 21-save shutout, which gives him four consecutive wins. Nick Ritchie scored the game’s only goal in the second period, the goal being his fifth [...]
After a relatively light Friday schedule of just five games, Saturday promised its normally busy schedule of… (looks at schedule)… six games?

According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the Flames have “expressed at least preliminary interest” in controversial defenseman Tony DeAngelo, with Sam Bennett being discussed in a possible trade. Let’s be honest: many hockey fans don’t want to see a deplorable character like DeAngelo be able to continue an NHL career, given his [...]
The Colorado Avalanche are the latest team to have games postponed due to COVID. The NHL announced on Thursday that the Avalanche will be out of action until February 11. This cancellation includes games against St. Louis on Saturday and Sunday and Arizona on Tuesday and Thursday. Move your Avalanche players to your bench, although [...]
There were plenty of games to watch on Saturday, most of them at the same time. Let’s start with some surprising news that was announced before the big block of 7 pm ET games. Travis Konecny was made a healthy scratch on Saturday, which is no doubt something that his fantasy owners wouldn’t have expected. [...]
Fantasy owners will need to make do without Kevin Fiala for the next three games. The Wild forward was suspended for his dangerous hit from behind on Matt Roy during Thursday’s game. The suspension will make Fiala unavailable for Saturday and Sunday’s home series with Colorado, as well as Tuesday’s rematch with the Avalanche. Fiala [...]
Another week, another game cancellation. The St. Louis/Vegas game was postponed on Thursday due to a positive test among one Golden Knights player and a member of its coaching staff. In case you missed it, Vegas GM Kelly McCrimmon took over coaching duties for Tuesday’s game as the team’s coaching staff isolated. Hopefully you found [...]
