Last night, the three-game slate’s biggest feature was the Central Division first-place contest between Colorado and Minnesota. Didn’t seem fair. 15% of the Wild’s salary cap is in limbo, and their best player is out on IR. The game was also at the Ball Arena in Denver, where the reigning champs, well, reign. None of [...]
The Minnesota Wild are on a tear right now, or at least heading into Wednesday night’s action. After going 1-4-1 right out of the All-Star break, the team is 15-1-4 in their last 20 games and are a threat to win the division. That is largely without Kirill Kaprizov, though he should be back for [...]

It’s a big week for fantasy hockey, and I’m right there with you in three semi-finals matches, and one consolation final match (with the prize being first-overall pick next year – Connor Bedard). It’s also that time in Roto leagues, where you need to make up the games played that you lost during the year [...]

As playoffs either wrap up this week or approach the finals next week, we will once again focus on players who are benefitting from their line deployment and who also have great schedules for your final few moves of the season. Let’s dive in. Mike Hoffman - [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll discuss a few storylines that developed during the madness of March. No Saves for the Sabres The Buffalo Sabres have struggled to keep the puck out of their net this month, surrendering 58 goals over 14 games (4.36 goals against per game). All three of their goaltenders have seen [...]
One of the concerns for any team interested in acquiring Jakob Chychrun over the last couple of seasons was his health. This will make five straight 82-game seasons where he’s failed to reach 70 games played (though he did play the entire 56-game Bubble campaign). Those concerns came up again recently as he missed a [...]
Members of the 100/100 Club need to have both 100 Hits and 100 BLKS in a season. It’s more unique than I would have guessed before looking at it in detail. There are players who are very physical but don’t block many shots, while there are players like Alec Martinez who lead the league in [...]
Depending on your league, there are two to three weeks left in your fantasy playoffs, but many of us have already experienced the hardships. Last week saw disappointing performances from the likes of Kris Letang, Josh Morrissey, Evander Kane, Mark Scheifele and Chris Kreider, who all produced zero points last week. That's frustrating but to [...]
