Another fantasy week is winding down and I thought it would be a good time to highlight a few players who have really stood out in the early going that potentially could be snagged in various leagues and formats. As is with every season, we’ve had our fair share of surprise standouts, as well as [...]
Jake Oettinger has had a fantastic start, so it would be a shame if he were to miss time due to injury. Oettinger left Saturday’s matinee match with the Rangers in the second period with a lower-body injury. According to Mike Heika of the team’s website, Oettinger is expected to “see doctors and we’ll know [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we follow hockey prospects and their paths to the NHL, providing fantasy predictions and analysis along the way. This week, we will conclude this three-part check-in on my Calder Trophy projections for the Dobber Fantasy Guide by discussing some rookies I would add to my Top 25 list now [...]
With the third DFS Saturday of the season on tap and many teams having played eight or more games, we’re starting to get a bit of a feel on how teams are looking with so many new faces in new places each season. We’re not even a 1/10th of the way through the season though, [...]
Yesterday I listed the names of some slumping Ducks, courtesy of the Frozen Tools Cold Players list. Well, you can add one more game for these players’ slumps, with the Ducks getting shut out by Vegas. The name that seems to be of the most interest is John Klingberg, who is now without a point [...]
So far this season it feels like every night there’s a surprise line or player on each slate. The standings also look, well, not as we pictured and although it’s early here in the season, the Eastern Conference just seems wide open. There’s a lot to go over, so let’s dive in!The Immediate Fix (Grab [...]
It could be just my leagues, but it seems like this season I am seeing more people cut bait with established players early on. Players who are cold for sure, but who we had some expectations of going into the season. For this week we are going to spend some time on cold players and [...]
Earlier than originally projected (but maybe not because he’s a fast healer), Brad Marchand made his season debut on Thursday. He didn’t disappoint, scoring two goals and adding an assist with four shots in a 5-1 win over Detroit. Marchand’s ADP on Yahoo was 117, so the early return means that he could provide some [...]
It’s the last big weekday slate of the week, and it’s time to find some winning prop bets. There are 10 games on the NHL slate tonight, which gives us plenty of options when searching for prop bets. It can be a little time-consuming to study every matchup, but it needs to be done to [...]
Happy Halloween! First, my “costume” for this past Tuesday, as an NHL prognosticator, didn’t win any contest but wasn’t totally torn in half either. Marc-Andre Fleury shined in Montreal (26 saves on 27 shots, 0.963 Sv%), and while neither Artemi Panarin nor Aleksander Barkov found the scoresheet, they totaled 12 shots on goal, so the [...]
