Just a friendly reminder that the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline is this Friday, March 7th. As is tradition here at Dobber Hockey, the team – well, mainly Ian – will be around all day to break down the important trades that fantasy managers need to know about. Be sure to check in often on Friday [...]
In some injury news from the Edmonton Oilers, defenceman Darnell Nurse was out of the lineup for Thursday night’s road game in Florida. The team said it would just be a day-to-day thing, so it doesn’t seem as if an extended absence is in the cards, but teams are so cagey about injuries nowadays that [...]
The Colorado Avalanche got a big piece of their offence back as winger Valeri Nichushkin returned on Wednesday night for their home game against New Jersey. Nichushkin had initially returned in the middle of November from an off-ice suspension, but didn’t even make it to January before being injured. Hopefully this is the end of [...]

Given that we’re on the Four Nations break, there may not a lot of injury updates from players not in the tournament.

The Four Nations Cup kicked off on Wednesday night with Team Canada hosting Team Sweden in Montreal, with Canada coming out on top 4-3 in overtime. After Canada largely dominated through the first 20 minutes, Sweden had long stretches of controlled play after that and it made for a wildly entertaining game. It didn’t take [...]
The NHL has reached its Four Nations Cup break. The regular season will resume on February 22nd, but there’s not much to talk about besides that tournament.

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Sidney Crosby left the team’s game on Tuesday night during the third period. He did return for the shootout, but that was his only appearance after leaving the ice.
