There was some concern that Detroit defenceman Moritz Seider might miss time after blocking a shot on Tuesday night, but Ted Kulfan reports that Seider is just fine after getting X-rays completed that came back negative. Seider has been having another good multi-cat fantasy season with seven goals, 32 points, and 277 hits+blocks through 59 [...]

There are just 10 days until the Trade Deadline and the Washington Capitals have a number of players that will garner interest, including both Anthony Mantha and Nic Dowd. Both have been injured recently, though, and that’s always a concern at this time of year. There was good news at practice with Mantha back on [...]

Ramblings: Updates on O’Connor, Perunovich, Power, and Ehlers; Scoring Problems for Kartye – February 23

Colorado got a key piece to their lineup back, though it’s not Gabriel Landeskog or Valeri Nichushkin (yet). Logan O’Connor returned to the lineup for Colorado on Thursday night, having missed four games. O’Connor went into that game third on the team in 5-on-5 goals with nine, and he has the lowest on-ice goals against [...]

There was good news out of Toronto as goalie Joseph Woll was sent to the AHL for a conditioning stint, the next step on his way back from an ankle injury that has kept him out of the lineup for two and a half months. How many games he ultimately plays down there remains to [...]

Miro Heiskanen was out of the Dallas lineup on Monday afternoon as he was away from the team for the birth of his child. With Jani Hakanpää and Nils Lundkvist already out, the Stars dressed Joel Hanley and called up some AHL depth to fill out the blue line. It is always interesting to see [...]

There has been no shortage of interesting storylines around the Philadelphia Flyers over the last couple of seasons, but one of them is certainly the career renaissance of Rasmus Ristolainen. He had played very well defensively over the last couple of seasons for the Flyers and that has pushed his name into trade rumours. He [...]

Ramblings: Update on Woll; Afanasyev Called Up; Improvements from Sharangovich, Harley, Tatar, Frost, and More – February 13

Toronto goalie Joseph Woll was at practice for the team on Monday, his first in over two months. How long he needs to get up to speed is up to him, but that he’s back and practicing is a good sign for the team. Toronto has had their goalie struggles this season and Martin Jones, [...]

Ramblings: Pospisil Signs; Jack Hughes, Nazem Kadri, Matthew Tkachuk, Leo Carlsson, and Producing on the Rush – February 8

As far as stat adjustments go, this is a big one. The NHL announced that they have performed an audit of hit totals this season and adjusted as necessary. This won’t change anything for prior fantasy weeks for head-to-head leagues, but hopefully this actually is an improvement to how they count hits moving forward. We [...]

Ramblings: Updates on Hughes, Pacioretty, Sergachev, and Fleury; Playoff Schedules for Rangers, Kings, Blues, Kraken, and Capitals – February 6

It has been a frustrating year for Andrei Svechnikov. He started the season late due to his knee surgery and was slow out of the blocks with zero goals in his first 11 games. He started torching the opposition afterwards to the tune of 11 goals and 12 assists in 18 games, but another injury [...]

Fantasy Take: Los Angeles Fires Head Coach Todd McLellan; Jim Hiller Named Replacement

By |2024-02-02T15:04:29-05:00February 2nd, 2024|Fantasy Take - Latest NHL Moves|

Not long after Montreal traded Sean Monahan to Winnipeg (fantasy take can be read here), the Los Angeles Kings announced they fired coach Todd McLellan. Despite a win heading into the All-Star break, the Kings had just three wins in their previous 17 games as their hot start was a distant memory. His replacement is [...]
