On the heels of Carolina having a game cancelled against Nashville, the Hurricanes have also had two more upcoming games this week cancelled against Florida due to COVID concerns. There have been multiple positive cases in Carolina, meaning they won’t be hitting the ice until incubation has passed and enough players test negative. At the [...]
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 last month’s Injury Ward. If you ever need injury updates for a specific player, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza! [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site and are also normally [...]
BREAKING: Jack Hughes is in fact good and not bad because as an 18-year-old he didn’t live up to ridiculous expectations Okay, I’ll tone it down a bit as we move through these Ramblings. But seriously, the 2019 first-overall pick looks like a completely different player as a sophomore. He grabbed two goals and an [...]
In this week’s Eastern Edge, we’ll take a look at two players who are off to slow starts in 2021: Cam Atkinson and Tony DeAngelo. Considering we’re just a few games into the season, I’d advise against making any rash decisions. Maximizing value is a big part of building the best fantasy roster, so please [...]

With Tage Thompson moved to the third line, Dylan Cozens was moved up to Buffalo’s second line for last night’s game. The latter has a shot of sticking there, though I was impressed with Thompson in the first couple games. He just needs a bit more time to settle in, I think. * The Bruins [...]
There have been some injuries, covid issues and some unexpected players emerge early in this 56-game season that have created opportunities for players and changed some depth charts. We will go through each team in the West (excepting the Dallas Stars for now) and briefly see what players are in what roles and how they [...]
We’re only a couple of games into the campaign, but it’s already worth noting which players are starting with more power-play time than many of us anticipated. No exhibition games made it tough for fantasy general managers to get a firm grasp on plans for many of the teams. Many of us were taking guesses, [...]
My first Ramblings of the 2020-21 NHL campaign. Buckle up. * What I’ve found this year, as it is in the real hockey world, that the prospect pool for drafting was the best it has been in years. Generally I am happy with my ability to pick up players later in the draft. I find [...]
