Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up. Following our three-week series on a noteworthy player from each team, we will now look back over the last three weeks to see how different line combinations have performed and identify some players who are on hot streaks. Note that all stats are prior to last night’s [...]
One of the players I was personally high on heading into the 2023-24 was Montreal’s Rafael Harvey-Pinard. He seemed to mesh very well with Nick Suzuki after the injury to Cole Caufield last season. That, and an ability to land a lot of hits, made me think there was some sneaky banger value here. Things [...]
As we are almost to the first-quarter point of the season, I’m going to choose a most valuable player and a most disappointing player from each team in the West this week. I’m going to try and choose players who have been a revelation or a disaster for fantasy pools. The nice thing about disappointing [...]
One of the biggest traps newer fantasy general managers fall into is to not take advantage of the waiver wire. I'm in one roto league where the GM in last place has only used two moves all season. It's almost like he's allergic to the waiver wire. While I wouldn't recommend this GM drop struggling [...]
Aleksander Barkov wasn’t on the ice for Sunday’s practice and won’t play against the Oilers on Monday. Florida’s captain suffered a soft tissue injury after taking a knee-on-knee hit during Friday’s clash with the Ducks. Coach Paul Maurice seemed optimistic when speaking about the injury, suggesting the outcome was better than they originally thought. https://twitter.com/JamesonCoop/status/1726290056598691849 [...]
Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this week’s article, I am going to bring up three players that are not getting much ice time but are taking advantage of the limited ice time they are getting and generating chances. These players may or may not be valuable right now with their [...]

Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Brennan Des and Dobber — 1. On Friday, William Nylander put on a show for friends, family and fans on home soil, tallying three points in [...]
There was a full slate of games on Saturday night, so there is plenty to discuss. Let’s get right to it. - With 16 points in 17 games, Travis Sanheim is presently Philadelphia’s leading scorer. I had been totally sleeping on this breakout. So as someone posted a week ago in the forums, “is he [...]
With the NHL showcasing its talent via the Global Series in Stockholm, Sweden this week, there’s been no shortage of awesome afternoon hockey to watch and wager on. Such is the case yet again today, with a total of 13 games on tap, including four matinee matchups. Last week was profitable in terms of my [...]
Goalies (in fantasy hockey): I’m going to discuss this from a number of angles. First, for our Yahoo or Fantrax fantasy leagues, goalies tend to make up an inordinate percentage of categories (or points, to a lesser degree) compared to skaters. The current Yahoo default skater categories are Goals, Assists, Shots on Goal, Power-Play Points, [...]
