Another day, another injury. Erik Karlsson will miss the rest of the regular season with a broken thumb that will require surgery. Karlsson’s season ends at 57 games, which means that this is the second consecutive season in which he has failed to reach 60 games. Signed to a long-term deal by the Sharks this [...]
After a year of toying with a couple of different formats of the ever-popular Fastest Rising Prospects segment, I’ve come to realize that the information which is craved by most of you readers is the straight-forward, to-the-point type of format. Back in January, we released the retro look Fastest Rising Prospect defensemen which turned out [...]
The past few days in the NHL have been a little strange. The Zack Kassian incident, Bruce Boudreau’s somewhat stunning dismissal in Minny, hey, even the San Jose Sharks got a win. At the end of the day you never really know what you’re going to get when it comes to pro hockey. With that [...]

All of Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos, and Anthony Cirelli (more on him later) were out of the lineup for Tampa Bay on Thursday night. Coach Jon Cooper said that all Kucherov and Cirelli will be joining Stamkos on the day-to-day list. Let’s hope this doesn’t last too long because that’s a lot of talent to [...]

We had a busy day for news considering it was a Wednesday. Let’s get to it. First, we got a timeline on Shea Weber’s injury: four to six weeks with an ankle sprain. For fantasy owners, if that timeline holds, he may be back in time for H2H playoffs. I say, “if that timeline holds” [...]
