This week I’m going to look at each team in the West and pick some players who have stood out positively and perhaps negatively after just a few games. Anaheim Ducks Pavel Mintyukov is still only 19 years old but has already scored his first NHL goal and has two points in five games. He’s [...]
Even though we're still early in the season, there are multiple fantasy general managers who are panicking over their fantasy squad's slow start. Ideally, you want to be a little patient at the start of the season. Some players are still rusty from an off-season injury, or there's a new coach, new teammates or a [...]
It’s a relatively minor injury for Connor McDavid, but fantasy teams will be without his services for at least a few games. The Oilers announced on Sunday that McDavid will be sidelined 1-2 weeks with an upper-body injury. McDavid appeared to be in discomfort late in the third period of Saturday’s game and left the [...]
Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean and Dobber — 1. Leo Carlsson had an encouraging NHL debut on Thursday. Not only did he score his first NHL goal, but he also logged [...]
Jake Sanderson is off to a fast start and appears poised for a breakout. Sanderson scored a power-play goal while taking four shots, giving him goals in back-to-back games and six points over his last four games. Sanderson has also taken over the top power play from Thomas Chabot. Sanderson is also being used on [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. Who should probably have been taken in the first round of last year’s draft instead of the third? Hunter Brzustewicz (VAN), a right-shot offensive defender currently leading the OHL in points [...]
What a difference a week makes. In what has been quite an unpredictable start to the new NHL campaign, we’ve already witnessed a number of peculiar trends and performances from a myriad of different teams and players. Hands in the air if you predicted the Philadelphia Flyers would be sitting in first place in a [...]
Two weeks (not quite) into the NHL season, and we find some pretty familiar stories. Las Vegas and Colorado are already being crowned out west, and Boston and Philadelphia (?) lead the Eastern divisions. Carter Hart has three wins already, and Sean Couturier ($4800) leads the league with a (+7), on a team that has [...]
Since Friday features just two games, I’ll dive into analysis of the late games on Thursday. In a seven-goal outburst for Seattle, Matty Beniers recorded his first point of the season (an assist) in his fifth game. In terms of total icetime, it’s difficult to determine which power-play unit is the top one for the [...]
This week on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to take a dive into some streaking players from thus far in this young NHL season. Same caveats apply here that are being used all over the place, which is small sample size. This is particularly relevant when looking at the focus of our article today, [...]
