Welcome to the Regular Season of the NHL! As the puck drops and teams hit the ice, fantasy hockey managers are equally busy setting their lineups, making trades, and scouring the waiver wire. The excitement is intense, and the early weeks of the season are a crucial period that can significantly influence your chances of [...]
We now have two regular season games of Connor Bedard’s performance. Statistically, there isn’t much to discuss yet. He is taking a lot of shots, which is what was anticipated. More than that, though, is his ability to create basically every single shift. For 95% of the league, it is incredibly difficult to look dangerous [...]
Here's the latest injury news from across the NHL! If you're looking for information about a certain player and don't see their name in this article, there probably haven't been any significant updates about their progress since our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
With a new season just underway, we’ll use this week’s Eastern Edge to predict an aspect of each team’s 23-24 campaign. Boston Bruins - Pavel Zacha finishes second in team scoring This is a slightly outrageous statement considering Brad Marchand, Jake DeBrusk and Charlie McAvoy all posted more points per game than Zacha last season.

My favourite bit of news to kick off yesterday was the record that Sidney Crosby, Kris Letang, and Evgeni Malkin were breaking: https://twitter.com/TaylorHaasePGH/status/1711604049848541426 Bryan Rust opened the scoring for the Penguins for the third season in a row, and looks primed for a bounce-back campaign after dipping to only a 47-point-pace last season. He was [...]
Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up and Happy-Start-Of-Hockey Day! With the NHL kicking the season off tonight, today will focus on teams updating the notes from last two Lining Up articles for teams with good schedules this first week. There are eight teams in this shortened week who play three times between today [...]
I don’t normally dwell on how my prior season’s Fearless Forecasts fared, admittedly because usually far fewer actually pan out versus those that don’t. But as can be seen from my May recap column, I had a pretty successful 2022-23, turning in perhaps my best performance since I started doing this way back in 2015. [...]
The NHL regular season starts today and thank you to everyone who has been reading through the offseason/training camp. Some days can turn into slogs but we’ve had a lot of positive feedback from both the Ramblings portions and the specific columns that are written daily/weekly, and that makes this writer/editor happy. We are here [...]
This year, because it is such a deep crop of rookies, I’m going to list the top rookies by team in the Western Conference. Some of these players could start the year in the minors because of waiver exemptions and salary cap implications but it appears that most rosters have now been set. We will [...]
The NHL season starts Tuesday, which means on Wednesday, we'll start to see fantasy general managers either start to panic or be overly optimistic based on the first day of action. Over the last few weeks, this top 10 column has also focused on optimism. We've looked at players who could score 50 goals for [...]
