Happy Sunday everyone! It’s the end of another week which means it’s time for us to go looking for a few more options to fill out your roster in the coming days, weeks, or even months if we’re lucky! Hopefully our American readers had a good Thanksgiving this week. The US holiday definitely created for [...]
Sometimes when a goal drought ends, the floodgates open. Sparking a third-period comeback for the Oilers, Evan Bouchard scored his first two goals of the season in the third period against the Rangers. Bouchard also had four shots and two hits in a game where he snapped a 20-game stretch without a goal to start [...]
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 is the second part in a series gleaning insights about prospects and young players from the Frozen Tools Player Usage Charts, which can be found under the Advanced Stats [...]
It’s been a funky schedule for the NHL this week with American Thanksgiving messing up the usual heavy day of Thursday.

We’re at the American Thanksgiving mark of the season and I think this is a good benchmark of who’s who and who is for real in the NHL. It’s also a good point to look forward at who we’ll likely see come playoffs. Last season on this date your division leaders were Florida, Carolina, Minnesota, [...]
New rankings are updated below, and there are some fun movers due to new contracts, early season results, and a few other minor edits. The Injury to Aaron Ekblad has bumped up both Brandon Montour and Gustav Forsling, and even with Ekblad’s return, both should be able to hold onto fantasy relevance, though maybe not [...]
