Mathew Barzal missed the Islanders game on Friday night due to injury and whenever a star misses a game, it is important to follow, especially for those of us in the fantasy realm. The good news came Monday morning as Barzal was back at practice: https://twitter.com/stefen_rosner/status/1612466638456078338 That he avoided any real injury is great news. [...]
With some injured Red Wings players like Robby Fabbri and Tyler Bertuzzi returning, or set to return very soon, for Detroit, management would need to make room. Sending down their young players is one option, but it seems the team is going in another direction. Jakub Vrana was put on waivers Tuesday while we got [...]
The St. Louis Blues, as of Monday afternoon, are five points out of a playoff spot. Their goaltending has a bottom-5 save percentage in the league and all those goals against is making it hard for the team to make up ground. Things have gotten worse as the team announced Vladimir Tarasenko was going to [...]
Perhaps the most important part of the Philadelphia season to date has been the excellent play of Carter Hart. After a couple down seasons, he looked to be regaining the form he showed in his first couple of years in the league. Then we got this news: https://twitter.com/ReinerOlivia/status/1608125842030313473 Coach John Tortorella would go on to [...]
Welcome back from the holiday break! Time flies when we only have a few days off but it’s back to daily NHL action and we’re here to give fantasy owners some help. They (we) could be forgiven for overlooking some fantasy teams as the hustle of the holiday season can take precedent, and some may [...]
When Tim Stützle went hard into the boards last week, both Ottawa fans and fantasy owners were sent into a panic about what had the appearance of a possible long-term injury. Those same fans and fantasy owners got some extremely good news on Thursday, though: https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1605948945615781890 He was back in his usual spot on the [...]
If there’s one area of the Ottawa lineup that probably needs some stability, it’s on the blue line (once they get their centers healthy). The team is trying to give the roster some stability on the back end by re-signing Artem Zub to a four-year extension: https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1605577872478900225 He is not a big producer with 40 [...]
The Columbus Blue Jackets saw a slew of defensemen injured roughly a month ago. All of Zach Werenski, Adam Boqvist, Nick Blankenburg, and Jake Bean have missed weeks for the Jackets. The injury problems just keep mounting, though, as Boone Jenner will be out for four weeks due to thumb surgery: https://twitter.com/Aportzline/status/1604866210306433029 After a slow [...]
The way Tim Stützle went into the boards in Monday’s game against Anaheim seemed to portend very bad news. We have seen players break collarbones and separate shoulders on similar plays and that’s something Sens fans and fantasy owners were worried about. Ottawa provided some very good news about Stützle on Wednesday, though: https://twitter.com/ian_mendes/status/1603053829137879040?s=46&t=pLOniChP5G85ckF5Jd76Rg Depending [...]
It looked as if Ottawa would have an excellent top-6 forward group heading into the season thanks to the development of their prospects and adding Alex DeBrincat and Claude Giroux. Unfortunately, Josh Norris injured his shoulder just five games into the season and that left them rotating centers on the second line for several weeks. [...]
