As of Tuesday, it has been over two weeks since Brayden Point was in the lineup for the Tampa Bay Lightning, and any injury lasting more than a week always raises some eyebrows. The Lightning, and fantasy managers, got some good news on Monday, though, as he was back at practice. He was skating on [...]
Buffalo had a thrilling game with Montreal on Monday afternoon resulting in 12 goals and multiple lead changes. Besides the loss, the Sabres had some bad news as all of Tage Thompson, Mattias Samuelsson, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen left the game with injuries. There was an update on Wednesday as to the status of all three [...]
The good news for Matvei Michkov fantasy owners is that he was back in the lineup on Monday as the Philadelphia Flyers hosted San Jose Sharks. The bad news is that he was skating on the second line with Ryan Poehling and Anthony Richard. Not that Flyers lines stay together for very long, but this [...]
Across Philadelphia’s first nine games, the only forward to have more ice time per game than Matvei Michkov was Travis Konecny. However, in his next four games, Michkov failed to reach 16 minutes in any of them, and averaged 14:41. This team is still coached by John Tortorella, so the writing was on the wall, [...]
It was October 28th when Edmonton’s Connor McDavid left a game early after jamming his foot into the boards. He escaped serious injury, but the timeline was 2-3 weeks before a return. We can throw that timeline out the window because just nine days later, McDavid returned to action on Wednesday night with the Oilers [...]
The injury to Mathew Barzal has put the New York Islanders in a tough spot. He is easily their best playmaker and despite his slow start (five points in 10 games), they need him if they want to consistently look dangerous offensively. In response to the injury, the Islanders changed their PP units on Sunday [...]
With a slew of healthy scratches to the season, the writing was on the wall for defenceman Timothy Liljegren and his tenure in Toronto. The Leafs had a logjam on the blue line and coach Craig Berube didn’t seem inclined to play him, so a trade was a near-certainty. That trade went down on Wednesday [...]
When Connor McDavid left Edmonton’s game on Monday night after jamming his foot into the boards, it was easy to fear the worst. We saw a similar player with Drew Doughty in the preseason, and that resulted in a broken ankle that will keep him out for months. Fortunately for Edmonton fans and fantasy hockey [...]
Connor McDavid got tripped early in Edmonton’s game in Columbus on Monday night. It was probably a penalty, but it wasn’t called, and things got even worse for the Oilers from there. He was seen gingerly making his way to the bench, and then he left for the dressing room. After several minutes, we got [...]
Brett Pesce and Luke Hughes both returned to the New Jersey lineup on Thursday night. Neither had played yet this season due to a leg and shoulder injury, respectively. It certainly bolsters a blue line that has had trouble staying healthy since the start of last season. * Joseph Woll was back in net for [...]
