Everyone looks at forwards as the main part of fantasy hockey, and it’s hard not to when we track scoring the most, and forwards do most of the scoring. As a result, the top end forwards are always the first guys off the draft board, and it can be harder to plan a strategy [...]
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” [...]
Here’s this week’s latest in the injury world. If you don’t see a certain player below, there probably haven’t been any major developments in their progress. Once there is a significant update, I’ll be sure to have it for you on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza! Ondrej Kase – Flu-like symptoms kept him out of the lineup [...]
As more and more of the season unfolds there can be a tendency to look at a skater’s total points and think that tells the full story about him, when in truth it can be a poor reflection of what he stands to do going forward. To address that, I dig deep to figure out [...]
In an extremely frightening event, Jay Bouwmeester collapsed on the St Louis Blues bench during action on Tuesday against the Ducks. Medical personnel was hastily called over and he was stretchered away from the field of play. Obviously, this was a traumatic moment for players on both sides and the decision was made to postpone [...]

As always, shoot me a message on Twitter @BrennanDeSouza if there’s ever a topic you want me to cover in one of these articles. Jeff [...]
Anthony Mantha should be returning Tuesday night for Detroit. That is going to be a big boost to their lineup. This is obviously an offensive boost but we shouldn’t overlook Mantha’s defensive impacts. He’s been the most valuable forward Detroit has, defensively speaking, over the last two seasons. If he doesn’t start with Dylan [...]
The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired sniper Jason Zucker from the Minnesota Wild for Alex Galchenyuk, a 2020 first-round draft pick, and stud prospect defenseman Calen Addison. The Penguins get: a three-time 20-goal scorer and former 33-goal man who is in his prime and signed for the next three seasons after this one at a reasonable [...]
With two weeks until the trade deadline, it is time to look at each team in the West and determine if they might be buyers or sellers and who they might move from or look to acquire for their roster, draft picks, or prospect pools. Weekly Western Leaders Goals – 4 – [...]
One thing that I try to stress in many of these lists is that for most players, it all comes down to opportunity. Whether it’s players with the potential to hit 70 points for the first time, waiver-wire pickups, bounce-back candidates, rookies that can surprise or whatever, players need that opportunity to be successful.
