In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll look at a few players who bounced back from disappointing performances last year to have strong showings this year. These are guys that we generally think of good-to-elite but had to rebound and have in a strong way. Jeff Skinner Skinner’s fantasy value hit rock-bottom after last year’s career-worst [...]
Welcome back to Lining Up. Hopefully you are resting on your laurels for a job well done or locking down the championship during the few remaining days.

The last week of the regular season has NHL teams in various stages of competition. Some, like Calgary, are fully clinched into their playoff spot, and could even give Jacob Markstrom an extra night off. Others, like Dallas, Nashville, and Vegas are more desperate with each game played. A DFS play ignoring these nuances is [...]

Hello everyone! I wasn’t sure if I was going to do another round of waiver-wire pickups for the back half of this final two-week fantasy period, but I figure if there are still some of you like myself who are still out there fighting for their playoff lives! I should stress that any moves you [...]
With Frederik Andersen injured and the Hurricanes playing the first of back-to-backs, Pyotr Kochetkov made his NHL debut. Kochetkov stopped 17 of 19 shots he faced to help the Hurricanes to a 3-2 overtime win over the Devils.
