Before we get into notes from Sunday’s games, a couple of important injury updates: https://twitter.com/jessi_pierce/status/1896287811713831325 It sounds like Quinn Hughes is day-to-day with a new injury – not the same one that kept him out for most of February. https://twitter.com/harmandayal2/status/1896312295283957964 ~ With a goal and assist on Sunday, Auston Matthews extended his point streak to [...]

A hat trick on Sunday gives Alex Ovechkin 29 goals through 41 appearances this season. Double those numbers and you’ll see he’d be on pace for 58 over 82 games. At the age of 39! Simply outstanding. Although he’s seeing less ice time than last year (from 19:13 to 17:37), he’s managed more shots per [...]

With no games on Sunday, I thought we could spend today’s Ramblings looking at some interesting stats so far in 2025. Here are 16 to keep in mind before the fantasy campaign resumes on Saturday! 11.92 That’s the number of goals saved above expected by Spencer Knight in 2025 (via EvolvingHockey). It also happens to [...]

An upper-body injury caused Connor Ingram to leave Sunday’s clash with the Capitals. It seems he got hurt after taking a heavy shot up high. Karel Vejmelka was excellent in relief, stopping 30 of the 32 shots he faced en route to a shootout victory. Vejmelka has solid numbers on the season but has struggled [...]

Tage Thompson racked up three points before a hit to the head made him leave the third period of Sunday’s dance with the Devils. Fortunately, it seems the Sabres dodged a bulled here. The rest of the season would be much harder to navigate without their top forward, who has 14 points in his last [...]

Minutes away from a crucial point in a tight Eastern Wild Card Race, a cruel twist of fate led to heartbreak in New York. The Rangers failed to convert on a late-game power-play and could only watch as Cale Makar exited the box, intercepted a pass, and set Artturi Lehkonen up for the game winner [...]

In his 39th NHL game, Zack Ostapchuk, the 39th pick of the 2021 draft, scored his first goal in the big leagues. He’s not getting enough ice time to be valuable in fantasy leagues this year but is averaging roughly two hits per game if you’re in the deepest of banger leagues.  Heading into Sunday’s [...]

With a win against Seattle on Sunday, Detroit’s record under Todd McLellan improves to 7-1. They’ve scored a power-play goal in all eight of those games, converting on 14 of 28 opportunities during this stretch. With a goal against the Kraken, Alex DeBrincat’s point streak grows to seven games. He has six goals and 11 [...]
