Before we get into Sunday’s games and streaming options for the week ahead, let’s run through some noteworthy injury updates from around the league. https://twitter.com/MitchellClinton/status/1749122854262636941 Winnipeg’s top center won’t be available against the Bruins on Monday. Considering he just started skating by himself, I wouldn’t expect him to play against Toronto on Wednesday either. Adam [...]

On Monday, the Ducks and Flyers swapped a couple of big-name youngsters. The effects of this trade may not be felt immediately, but they will be significant.   https://twitter.com/AnaheimDucks/status/1744513133522427936 Philadelphia acquires Jamie Drysdale, a 21-year-old defender who was drafted sixth overall in 2020 because of his strong skating ability and offensive instincts.

By |2024-01-08T01:09:44-05:00January 8th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

Minnesota called up Jesper Wallstedt from the AHL on Sunday. The 20-year-old netminder – drafted 20th overall in 2021 – has been solid for the Iowa Wild this year. Through 20 games, he holds a .917 save percentage and 2.54 GAA. With Filip Gustavsson injured and Minnesota playing a back-to-back against Philadelphia and Arizona this [...]

Ramblings: 20 Thoughts from 2023 (Jan 1)

In both life and fantasy hockey, perspectives shape information. The way you look at something influences what you take away from it, and how you feel about it. Usually, when we analyze a player’s production, we look at performance in a season – from October to April. However, shifting our lens gives us new perspective [...]

Ramblings: Christmas Gifts & Wishes for Each Team (Dec 25)

By |2023-12-25T03:58:48-05:00December 25th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! With no games scheduled on Christmas Eve, I thought I’d review each team’s most valuable and most disappointing player so far this season. Those valuable players have been a gift to your fantasy roster, while those disappointing players have you begging Santa for a turnaround. Anaheim Ducks Gift: Mason [...]

Ramblings: Andersen Skating; Senators Sliding; Giving Timo Time (Dec 18)

By |2023-12-18T02:33:27-05:00December 18th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Sunday marked the first time this season that Chicago scored multiple power-play goals in a game. With Seth Jones injured and Kevin Korchinski dealing with the loss of his father, the Blackhawks played this game without their best offensive defensemen. As a result, the team opted for a five-forward setup on the power play, featuring [...]

Ramblings: Ovi’s Goal Drought; Comeback Sharks; Goalie Talk; Streaming Options for the Week (Dec 11)

One of my favourites from Dobber’s Frozen Tools is the Schedule Planner, which shows you which teams are playing during any given timeframe. One thing this reveals is who’s playing on ‘light nights’, when there aren’t many games scheduled. With fewer games on tap, you should have more open slots on your fantasy roster. So, [...]

Ramblings: Winnesota Wild; Penguins’ Power Play; Finding Value in San Jose (Dec 4)

By |2023-12-04T01:12:35-05:00December 4th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

John Hynes remains undefeated as head coach of the Wild, with Sunday’s 4-1 win over Chicago marking his third-straight victory. The sample size is miniscule, but Minnesota hasn’t allowed more than one goal in a game since Hynes took over. That shouldn’t come as a huge surprise considering the team was playing solid defense even [...]
