Hockey Rambling

It’s the first Saturday night of the NHL season! Lots to talk about, so I’ll break down what I noticed from a fantasy perspective. Elias Lindholm is off to a great start with his new team. Lindholm scored a goal in the Bruins’ 2-1 matinee win over the Kings. That gives him points in all [...]

First off, it’s great to be back writing about actual games again. After a long summer of predictions and projections, we can finally find out how everything will play out. Following a memorable debut with a first-period goal and assist, Macklin Celebrini is considered questionable for tonight’s game with a lower-body injury. Celebrini was battling [...]

Following their trip to Europe, the injury news did not seem ideal for the Buffalo Sabres as both JJ Peterka and Zach Benson left games across the pond with different injuries. Both had returned to practice for the Sabres back in North America, but neither seemed probable to be in the lineup for the home [...]

There has been a lot of chatter over the last several months when it comes to goaltenders and contracts. There was Jeremy Swayman in Boston who didn’t get his extension until the weekend and thus didn’t start the season opener. There was also Ilya Sorokin and Connor Hellebuyck starting their new $8M+ AAV deals this [...]

Whether he lasts the season or is sent down after [...]

With the 2024-25 campaign set to kick off in North America tomorrow, I thought we’d start today’s Ramblings with a fantasy question facing each team this season. Let’s get into it! Anaheim Ducks What will Anaheim’s power play look like? The Ducks split time evenly between two units last year, but that could change this [...]

Hopefully you were able to watch hockey while eating your breakfast or brunch on Saturday. If so, you would have seen the Devils complete the sweep of the Sabres in the two-game Global Series in Prague to start the regular season. In New Jersey’s 3-1 win, Seamus Casey scored his first NHL goal and was [...]

The puck officially dropped on the NHL regular season on Friday with New Jersey defeating Buffalo by a score of 4-1 in Prague. A number of brand-new Devils made a great first impression with their new team in this game, so that’s who I’ll focus on here. Playing in his first game with the Devils, [...]

The majority of players who come to camp on a professional tryout (PTO) won’t be successful on their tryout attempt, but attending Flames’ camp was worth Tyson Barrie’s time. Barrie has landed a one-year contract with the Flames for $1.25 million. The upside for Barrie is that he is able to secure time on the [...]
