Before we get into Sunday’s news, a quick reminder that due to the All-Star Break, this is a double week in most fantasy formats – running from January 29th to February 11th. As a result of the break, there are a lot of teams that only play twice over the next 14 days. Fortunately, there [...]
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.

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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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.

On Monday, the Ottawa Senators relieved D.J. Smith of his head coaching duties, replacing him with Jacques Martin on an interim basis. The team also announced franchise legend Daniel Alfredsson as a new assistant coach. Smith took over as head coach in Ottawa back in May of 2019. Since then, the club ranks 24th [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
