Another week of hockey is in the books and a few surprising standouts have emerged as of late. This week I am going to take a look at these players who have been on some impressive hot streaks. Some of these players are a big part of why their teams have seen so much success [...]
Seth Jarvis has been a popular Frozen Tools search this week because he now has goals in three consecutive games and 12 shots over that span. Jarvis was originally credited with a second goal in this game, but that goal was later credited to Sebastian Aho. The 2020 first-round pick has been playing on Hurricanes’ [...]
Bang bang, baby! Last week’s Gold-Silver-Bronze sweep and a perfect 3-0 showing for my side bets has me even more fired up than usual for our favorite day of the week. Not to pump my own tires too much, but I am cooking right now when it comes to picking winners, posting a 20-6-1 overall [...]
Staying on top of injury and Covid news is a big part of the DFS game, and is something I wanted to touch on briefly after it was pointed out to me last week by a reader, and I’m glad it was, that I had made an incorrect assumption on a player’s availability for the [...]
Roto league stud Darnell Nurse has been placed on IR, as he is expected to miss the next 2-3 weeks with a broken finger.

The beginning of the NHL season is always a fascinating time. So many players seem to do very unexpected things. A lot of them end up being flashes in the pan that get way overhyped, but some are actually much more representative of things to come. In this column we try to tackle some of [...]
Cole Caufield will get another chance to make a run at the Calder Trophy, as was recalled from the AHL on Thursday. Caufield made the most of his time there, scoring two goals and adding three assists in six AHL games. If he was dropped in your single-season league, he is definitely worth a speculative [...]
With the final part of our series on defenceman contracts we’ll take a look at the ones that make us pump our fists and help us sleep at night. Those defenceman whicih have surprised almost everyone, including their agents. Those value players that bring us back year after year and help you win championships. If [...]
The New York Islanders have been a fascinating team to start the season. They came into the campaign as Cup contenders, but are 5-6-2 following their monster road trip to begin the season. Remember that this team still has not played a game at home yet, with their first coming Saturday against Calgary. They only [...]
