The East playoff race is not exactly an arms race at the moment, but it is certainly fascinating. The Capitals were supposed to be done two months ago, and were too far out. Instead, after being sellers at the deadline, they’re getting balanced scoring, their top players are producing, and the young guys all look [...]
Welcome inside the latest edition of Eastern Edge, a weekly fantasy hockey column at Dobber Hockey analyzing the top trending fantasy news impacting your fantasy hockey squad on a week-to-week basis.

Welcome back to another edition of Lining Up! With every team likely to be in the middle of fantasy playoff season at this point, we will take a deep look at the line combinations of teams who specifically play on off-nights this week. Given the dense schedule, there are only four games left this week [...]
As we stare down a potentially active goalie market in the NHL, we’re left with the smoke but not much fire from the trade deadline, where we did see a few goalies change teams, but no one likely to make a huge difference fantasy-wise at this point. Logan Thompson reigns as the top value goalie [...]

This week, I will go through Minnesota to Winnipeg in the West and look at some players who spent at least 30 games in the AHL and who we could see get some playing time the rest of the year or next season in the NHL. I will only consider players who are 25 years [...]
Connor Bedard, having put up an incredible scoring run after returning from a broken jaw, is now the highest value player in my cap league rankings. With two years left on his entry level deal after this one, it’s not tough to see why. The slightly less expected name in the top-10 is Noah Dobson, [...]
Ahead of Sunday’s game against the Jets, Washington recognized T.J. Oshie for reaching the 1000-game milestone recently. He rose to the occasion, tallying two assists as the Caps won 3-0 against Winnipeg. I’m sure many wrote Oshie off after he opened this season with just two points in his first 19 appearances. Surprisingly, the 37-year-old [...]
