I’m starting with a bone to pick. Another hockey writer, on another site (and no I don’t do their advertising work for them) wrote about the Pittsburgh Penguins’ lack of younger quality players - specifically top-five draft picks over the past several years - and that being the reason the Pens are fading, and will [...]
Patrik Laine is expected to miss the next two to four weeks with a tricep strain from Thursday’s practice. Unfortunate timing, as Laine had posted multiple points in each of his last three games and four of his past five games. Try to move Laine to an injured slot or the bench if you can, [...]
Welcome back everyone! As we move further into fantasy playoffs, I just want to stress something for those who may have not gotten this far before or are clinging onto the roster you already have. At some point there is going to be a player that you’re likely rostered for all or most of the [...]
In our last column we focused on short-term streaks, players that you want to take a look at for your do or die matchups. This week we are going to take the same sort of approach, but in terms of goalies. We will highlight a few teams that have had some changes, take a look [...]
For the next couple of weeks, I plan on doing an episodic series that will involve me breaking down a few players per week that I think are valuable additions for your fantasy playoffs. This is probably the tensest time of the year when it comes to calculating who you should target on the waiver [...]
Once the details of what happened to Washington defenceman John Carlson a few months ago, just seeing him back on the ice with the Capitals in practice was great to see. On Thursday night, he made his return to the lineup, playing on a pairing with Martin Fehervary. It is just nice to see a [...]
Do you know (or hazard a guess?) how many combined goals Kyle Connor, Blake Wheeler, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Mark Scheifele, and Josh Morrissey have scored in the Winnipeg Jets’ last nine games? I’ll give you a hint - not many. The Jets, who desperately need points to hang onto the West’s second wild card spot, have [...]
This is the time of year where college seasons have wrapped and players are starting to sign with their NHL teams. Most of these guys will have no relevance in the fantasy game at any point of their careers, but they are worth noting because a gem is found every once in a while like [...]
Here’s the latest injury news from across the 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 our last article. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on [...]
I’m sure many of your correctly figured that after my last poll, where I asked you to pick the five players most overrated in fantasy, I’d pull a 180 this month and focus on the NHLers who don’t get their proper due. And yes indeed, it is now time for you to select the most [...]
