We have reached the big day as the 2026 Dobber Hockey Midseason Guide is set to release later today! It has everything fantasy managers need to push for a championship in the second half, or prepare their keeper/dynasty rosters for the 2026-27 season, including projections, potential call-ups, trade candidates, rookies to monitor, advanced stats (that’s [...]
Christian Dvorak signed a five-year extension with the Philadelphia Flyers for a little over $5M AAV. He was set to be a free agent after the season, but he’s now secured a long-term deal after an impressive first half of this season. He has found good chemistry with Trevor Zegras that has given the Flyers [...]
Auston Matthews was back in the lineup for Toronto after taking a few games off, which is not a moment too soon for fantasy managers and Maple Leafs fans alike. Winger William Nylander skated prior to morning skate but did not suit up on Thursday night. That he’s skating is a good sign, and hopefully [...]
The official announcement for the USA men’s Olympic roster is set for today, but Michael Russo of The Athletic reported yesterday what the roster would look like.

The New York Islanders announced a recall of goalie Marcus Hogberg, stating that Ilya Sorokin is dealing with a nagging issue and will take time off. Sorokin is expected to be ready for the team’s first game after the holiday break (Saturday against the Rangers) but as with all nagging injury problems, what is expected [...]
Colten Ellis passed concussion protocol, according to Rachel Lenzi. He needs some practice time to make sure all systems are go, but it’s a big step in the right direction. Hopefully he can return shortly after the holiday break, but it would muddle the Buffalo Sabres crease once again. Michael Kesselring returned for the Sabres [...]
The Philadelphia Flyers announced that winger Tyson Foerster is out for the year after surgery on his arm. Technically, if the Flyers win a couple of playoff rounds, maybe he can return some in May, but that is about the best to be hoped for. A tough season for a player who has become an [...]
