Ramblings: Brothers Clarke Get Called Up; Roslovic Moved Up; Improvements from Kyrou, Marchenko, Engvall, Reinhart, and More – January 4

By |2024-01-04T07:00:13-05:00January 4th, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

There were some notes from Columbus that fantasy owners may want to keep an eye on. First, Jack Roslovic worked his way to the top line with Adam Fantilli and Johnny Gaudreau at practice on Wednesday. With the injuries up front, Roslovic has a chance to gain some fantasy value if he can stick there, [...]

Ramblings: Winter Classic; Noesen’s New Line; Top Performers of 2023 Including Kempe, Mittelstadt, Foegele, Dunn, and More – January 2

By |2024-01-01T20:59:24-05:00January 2nd, 2024|Hockey Rambling|

The Professional Women’s Hockey League launched their inaugural season yesterday. Through all the ups and downs of the professional women’s hockey leagues over the last five-ish years, all the top players now have one league to play in. I will not profess to know the details of the behind-the-scenes machinations to get this done, so [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Roslovic, Spurgeon, Werenski, Jones, and More; K’Andre Miller’s Holiday Scoring Spree; Letang’s Historic Night – December 28

By |2023-12-28T07:28:44-05:00December 28th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

The injuries for the Columbus Blue Jackets have been piling up for the second year in a row, so anytime they can get some good injury news, it’s a breath of fresh air. They got exactly that on Wednesday as forward Jack Roslovic was back skating after fracturing his ankle six weeks ago: https://twitter.com/JacketsInsider/status/1740016766917673038 The [...]

Ramblings: The NHL’s Unofficial Second Half and Alex Newhook, Timo Meier, Viktor Arvidsson, Leon Gawanke, and More – December 26

By |2023-12-25T20:25:36-05:00December 26th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Merry Boxing Day, everyone! I hope all our readers get that snowblower (or lawnmower) that they’ve had their eye on for a few months. It is truly that magical time of year where deep discounts on consumer products help bring together everyone across all demographics. With the NHL still on their break, and the World [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Larkin, Dell, Quinn, and Oettinger; Smith Fired; Early Fantasy Goaltender Awards – December 19

By |2023-12-18T15:47:14-05:00December 19th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Dylan Larkin had been off to a great start this season with 11 goals and 25 points in 24 games, averaging 3.5 shots per game while posting 13 power play points. That recent injury was really unfortunate, given his history, and there was concern that he could have a lengthy absence. The good news is [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Larkin, Markstrom, Grubauer, Durzi, and Spurgeon; Early-Season Fantasy Awards – December 15

By |2023-12-15T07:34:49-05:00December 15th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

It seemed really unfortunate that it wasn’t long after Detroit got Patrick Kane in their lineup that Dylan Larkin took the cross-check and was injured. Detroit has been one of the better stories in the NHL over the first two months and seeing this team at full strength was something fantasy owners were looking forward [...]

Ramblings: Blues Fire Berube; Pacioretty Skating; Early-Season Awards for Neighbours, Forsberg, and Others – December 14

By |2023-12-14T07:11:09-05:00December 14th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

St. Louis fired coach Craig Berube early Wednesday morning. The team has struggled in most areas this year but what sticks out is the power play: 31st in goals per minute with the man advantage. In an era where power play production is more important than it’s been in at least a decade, if not [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Tuch, Larkin, Drysdale, and Svechnikov; Eye-Opening Play from Raymond, Morrissey, Vatrano, Marchenko, and More

By |2023-12-12T06:28:34-05:00December 12th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

Isak Rosen was sent back to the AHL by Buffalo ahead of Monday night’s game against Arizona with Brett Murray coming back the other way. Rosen was held pointless in seven games with the Sabres though he played in the bottom-6 virtually the entire time and skated under nine minutes per night. It is a [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Makar, Nichushkin, DeBrincat, Burakovsky, Evans, and More

By |2023-12-08T07:05:40-05:00December 8th, 2023|Hockey Rambling|

With Dan Vladar being pulled in Calgary’s game on Tuesday night, it seemed likely that prospect Dustin Wolf would get the nod in net and that’s exactly what happened. Jacob Markstrom injured his hand when he got hit with an errant puck during practice and that pushed Wolf to the NHL roster. The young netminder [...]
