Apologies for leaving everyone hanging on the picks front last week. I needed some time on the LTIR to recover both physically and mentally, but I am back in business for our favorite day of the week. I won’t lie or try to hide it: I’ve been pretty cold of late, coming off back-to-back losing [...]
By the time you are reading this, I’ll be en route to Pittsburgh for the Penguins-Ducks game tonight. While I’m not particularly a fan of either team, I’m not going to pass up a chance to spectate and sightsee around the city of Pittsburgh for the weekend. Unfortunately with Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust, and Evgeni [...]
Sidney Crosby versus Alex Ovechkin matchups never get old, especially since we can still debate which player has had the better career and even which player is better right now. Even with both Crosby and Ovechkin recording two assists each, the Penguins came out on top 4-2. With the two assists, Crosby extended his point [...]
Welcome back to another week of Looking Ahead, where we look ahead to the next week or so of NHL action and where fantasy owners can help or hurt their lineups.

It is funny how hockey can work sometimes. It is my belief that the right player slotted into the right spot can really change a team’s fortunes. The reason being is one injury can put one guy in a position he shouldn’t, and then the next guy in a position he shouldn’t, and so on [...]
We have officially entered the dog-days of the hockey season. You know, those middle forty games. The ones that beat up players and teams alike; and leave your injury reserve overflowing. Just ask the Montreal Canadiens (yikes!). With injuries comes the need for replacements. Your ability to claim a good replacement is directly related to [...]
Talking about defencemen is probably my favourite thing to do because the position has evolved so much over the last 20 years that it always feels like we’re on a new frontier. Regardless, there are a pair of defencemen I want to talk about today, and both were high draft picks this past fantasy season. [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from the Montreal Canadie – I mean NHL! If you’re looking for information about a specific player and don’t see their name in this article, there probably haven’t been any significant updates about their progress since last week’s article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
