With a 6-3 victory over Pittsburgh, Winnipeg remains the only undefeated team this season, sporting a 5-0 record. Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele have been integral to the Jets’ success, scoring on Sunday and finding the scoresheet in every game thus far. Both players are riding five-game point streaks. Nikolaj Ehlers and his deft playmaking [...]
Three games, three wins for Connor Hellebuyck and the Winnipeg Jets. Hellebuyck has conceded just two goals over these three games, stopping 81 of 83 shots, and handsomely rewarding fantasy managers that used an early pick to acquire him. With a goal and assist against Minnesota, Mark Scheifele has now posted two points in each [...]
With the 2024-25 campaign set to kick off in North America tomorrow, I thought we’d start today’s Ramblings with a fantasy question facing each team this season. Let’s get into it! Anaheim Ducks What will Anaheim’s power play look like? The Ducks split time evenly between two units last year, but that could change this [...]
https://twitter.com/SinBinVegas/status/1839741207939035536 It looks like Noah Hanifin has the luxury of starting on Vegas’ top power play, but Shea Theodore will be champing at the bit if he falters. The sample is small but after Hanifin was promoted to the top unit on April 2nd, he racked up eight power-play points in 14 games over the [...]
When sharing five tips for your fantasy draft, I made the obvious claim that not every player elevates their game when they’re in the final year of a contract. One of our lovely readers, Glenn, aptly pointed out that having real data behind that claim would make it more useful. If pending UFAs elevate their [...]

Let’s get right into it! 1) Maximizing Games Played - Light Nights ‘Light nights’ refer to days when there aren’t many games scheduled. For our purposes, we’ll use a threshold of eight games – meaning 16 or fewer NHL teams in [...]
In today’s Ramblings, we’ll discuss each of last year’s top-15 scorers and set expectations for them in the upcoming campaign. Nikita Kucherov – The Russian superstar posted a ludicrous 144 points to lead the league in scoring last year. He also led all skaters in power-play production as 53 of those points came with the [...]
It’s hard to focus on fantasy hockey so soon after Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were senselessly taken from us by a suspected drunk driver. Although we don’t know players personally, there’s a closeness that develops as we watch them play and become invested in their performance. I was caught off guard by the [...]
For the last 21 years (12 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 22nd annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of [...]
In this week’s Ramblings, I’ll share a ‘value pick’ for each team. While such a term might paint visions of McDoubles and Junior Chickens, this isn’t like the McDonald’s value menu – with cheap items at cheap prices. It’s more like your grocery store flyer, highlighting value in products of various price points. I’ve included [...]
