For the latest line combinations and injury updates, follow me on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza! Here are this week’s updates from around the league… Hampus Lindholm – Missed Sunday’s game against the Avalanche with a lower-body injury. I haven’t been able to find anything else in terms of timetable and the severity of the injury. [...]
Part of the beauty of this column is two very different players can be rightfully compared. Take this week’s battle, pitting Evander Kane against Yanni Gourde. Although Kane is a veteran of almost 500 more NHL games than Gourde, the two are almost identical in age and have points outputs since last season which [...]
Here are the Top 100 goalies to own in your keeper league - November edition As always, goalies within the same tier should be considered about equal value, and would depend on your needs (immediate help, long-term help, late-season help).

Mike Yeo's time in St. Louis has come to an end. After replacing Ken Hitchcock as the head coach back in 2015-16, it's interesting that he's out of a job today and Hitch takes a new one in Edmonton. Yeo was given a team that was deep in talent but never had a strong [...]

This week I spent some time poking around the old Wild West Columns to see what types of things kept coming up. One theme that emerged was depth, particularly in leagues that count more categories (things like hits and blocks). The fabled multi-category stud. I struggled a bit with the definition of who that [...]
On this episode of the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Elan and Brian debate whether Tom Wilson is or isn't a good guy, whether Mike Hoffman's points outweigh his 'locker room' effects, and whether you should gloat on twitter via infinite retweeting when you might not even be right about Max Domi. But it's chock [...]
While most fantasy hockey leagues are based solely on points, you can find leagues that will use almost any statistical category.
