Fantasy Hockey Top 10

It’s frustrating when you own a player that is in the midst of a season-long funk. Many times, there’s nothing you can do but sit back and hope they snap out of it. Some guys will bounce back to have a great second half (we covered those players last week). But there are other guys [...]

It’s never too late to count on someone when it comes to fantasy hockey. Players are known to go into extended slumps. It’s tough when it’s at the start of the fantasy hockey season, but you never know when a guy will rebound. Alex Galchenyuk had two points in his first 10 games and was [...]

Owning both members of a dynamite duo can be one of the most fun aspects of fantasy hockey. After all, every time one of your players gets a point, there’s a good chance you’ll pick up a second point. (Conversely, one of the frustrating aspects is when that duo goes ice cold for five straight [...]

With most teams now at the quarter-point of their season, it’s a good time to start taking some statistics more seriously. In the first 10 games or so, you can chalk up a lot of stuff to luck or a short hot streak. We’re now at the point where those streaks are turning into trends. [...]

While many fantasy general managers are focusing on players who are slumping or surprising when it comes to points, many poolies neglect to look at how players are doing in peripheral categories. Matt Martin is still a stud when it comes to hits, but there are plenty of new faces when it comes to hits [...]

We’re a month into the season, but don’t worry if your team is not doing too well. There’s plenty of season left and plenty of players on the waiver wire that can help. In my 12-team Yahoo roto league we dress four centres, four left wingers, four right wingers, six defensemen, two goalies and five [...]

It’s never a good thing to overreact to early-season returns in fantasy hockey. Every season is littered with players that start off hot before quickly fading. Remember when Sven Andrighetto started the season with six points in five games? He went pointless in his next five games and was a minus-eight in the span before [...]

This is the time of year when it’s easiest to take advantage of a general manager who is freaking out over their superstars slow starts. There are many players that are struggling. If you believe these players will rebound (as the majority of them will undoubtedly do), you may be able to get them for [...]

We’re just two weeks into the season, and there are some interesting trends starting to emerge when it comes to power-play usage. Of course, it is still early in the season and we are dealing with a fairly small sample size, b looking at these things early can help make a final decision if you [...]

  It’s impossible to find trends this early in the season. After all, most teams have played one or two games. One bad match can really skew numbers one way or another. But it is a good time to have a look at those games and see if you can find anything that is worth [...]
