Health in the postseason is a very big deal to the success of most teams, and those on the fringe especially. That is why it has been concerning that New York Islanders defenceman Noah Dobson had missed a couple of games with the team desperate for a postseason appearance. Some good news from Wednesday, though: [...]
Filip Chytil was skating again for the New York Rangers at their morning skate. We don’t try to update these types of things on a near day-by-day basis, but given Chytil’s recent history, it seems prudent. Hopefully he can just stay healthy, whether he returns to the lineup for playoff or not. The Rangers clinched [...]
Anaheim announced that forward Jakob Silfverberg is going to retire at the end of the season. The 33-year-old winger has over 800 regular season games to his name where he’s amassed 168 goals and 205 assists, and 69 playoff games with 18 goals and 26 assists in that time. He hasn’t had much fantasy hockey [...]
Over the last few years, the health of key skaters from the Colorado Avalanche has been a constant issue. Whether it’s winning the Cup with Samuel Girard injured or Gabriel Landeskog’s two-year effort to back to game action, it’s not often we’ve seen Colorado with a full roster as they chase a Stanley Cup. That [...]
There were a couple of big injury updates that came on Monday with both regular season and playoff fantasy hockey implications. As for the playoffs, the leg fracture suffered by Tampa Bay defenceman Mikhail Sergachev looked absolutely gruesome at the time and very much put his season in doubt. Whether he would be back in [...]

There was some other important news from Winnipeg practice as Tyler Toffoli was back after missing [...]
After missing 16 games due to an upper-body injury, Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Jamie Drysdale was back in the lineup on Monday night, and slotted onto the top power play unit. There had been top PP time for Cam York with Drysdale injured, and York had been playing heavy minutes, so this will cut into all [...]
Jack Quinn returned to the Buffalo lineup on Wednesday night after missing two months due to a lower-body surgery. Considering the time he missed to start the season, it has been a brutally unlucky stretch of health for the young winger. He slotted in his usual spot on the second line with Dylan Cozens. JJ [...]
Detroit welcomed Jake Walman back to practice on Monday after he missed three games due to a lower-body injury. Walman has 12 goals and 21 points in 61 games this season, but his 150 blocked shots have been a huge boon for fantasy managers. There is a little bit more on Walman and defence partner [...]
Dylan Larkin was back in the lineup on Thursday night for Detroit as the Red Wings had a big home matchup against the New York Islanders. The captain had missed eight games due to injury and the team went 2-6 in that time, and one of their wins was a miracle late-minute comeback against Columbus. [...]
