The return of Eric Comrie to the Buffalo lineup has complicated matters for the Sabres. They needed to make room when he came back and one of the first moves was to send Ukko-Pekka Luukonen to the AHL. That was just a paper move, though, to clear a roster spot, and Luukkonen was back in [...]
Despite injuries on the blue line, the Toronto Maple Leafs forward crop has largely remained healthy this season, especially the top-6: all of Auston Matthews, John Tavares, William Nylander, Mitch Marner, Michael Bunting, and Alex Kerfoot have played every game this season. That streak came to an end on Wednesday night as Matthews sat out: [...]
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 [...]
