The Montreal Canadiens have been swamped with injuries this season, but their most recent one is their most significant so far. The team announced that Cole Caufield will miss the rest of the regular season, as he will undergo surgery on his right shoulder. Caufield finishes the season with 26 goals in just 46 games, [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. This week, we will take a deep dive into several prospects who appear to be on the decline to determine whether fantasy managers should sell now or buy low and stay [...]
Flip Livingstone's Picks As the NHL trade rumor mill continues to turn, teams across the league are beginning a crucial stretch of the schedule - both in the front office in terms of GMs tinkering with their lineups and of course, on the ice as clubs jockey for postseason positioning. Either way you want to [...]
Another Saturday and another large slate available to us for daily fantasy. This week the slate features 11 games, down slightly from the 13 we had last week, but a big one none the less. We have no shortage of firepower here either with teams like Toronto, Edmonton, and Colorado on the schedule. After reading [...]
The news on Max Pacioretty wasn’t expected to be positive, but it was confirmed on Friday. Pacioretty re-tore his Achilles late in the third period of Thursday night’s game. I’d be surprised if he plays any more games this regular season, given how long normal recoveries from this type of injury take. A rough turn [...]
It’s January in Chicago and although I like most of you out there haven’t seen the sun in little over a week, I have been finding a game or two that’s been good on each slate so far this week. With a solid weekend slate ahead to cap off the week, let’s dive in!The Immediate [...]
Today we are going for a deep dive and looking at player production through a slightly different lens. As any fantasy manager can attest there is quite a bit of variation from game to game, and even from week to week. Players can go from matchup defining games to cardio sessions with negligible fantasy impact. [...]
Matt Dumba was made a healthy scratch on Thursday, possibly because the Wild are currently working on a trade involving him. At one time, Dumba was a universally rostered player, but he has fallen out of that category (19% Yahoo/40% Fantrax). Could a trade revitalize his fantasy value? Dumba is a right-shot defenseman, so teams [...]
It is Thursday once again, so let’s find some winning NHL props. The NHL schedule is packed with 13 games tonight which means we have an overwhelming number of options to find some winning prop bets. I’ve taken my time to carefully look over every matchup tonight, and I think I’ve found a few props [...]
So, I’ll think through the daily fantasy reasoning first today. There are many ways to look at tonight’s 13-game slate. We can look at home teams playing against weaker defense and goaltending (Flyers v. Hawks, Blue Jackets v. Ducks, Golden Knights v. Red Wings) or maybe good teams hosting back-to-back squads playing on the road [...]
