As we head into the back half of the 2025-2026 regular season, it’s a natural time to identify players who’ve been producing at unsustainable rates. Some of these names are proven producers who can beat expectations year after year, but in most cases, regression to the mean reigns supreme. With this in mind, here are [...]
With the Olympics hockey is on pause and the roster freeze shutting down trade chatter, it feels like the everything has gone quiet. Although, that might be true on the surface, for fantasy hockey GMs, this stretch is actually gold. It’s the perfect window to step back, take a hard look at your roster, and [...]
Every Sunday, we share 21 Fantasy Rambles from our writers at DobberHockey. These thoughts are curated from the past week's ‘Daily Ramblings’. Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Puneet Sharma, and Dobber — 1. As the resident Preds fan, I have a lot of thoughts on the Barry Trotz news.

Some injury news to start: Pavel Zacha will not participate in the Olympics for Czechia due to an upper-body injury. Zacha has missed the past two games with the injury. It is not known whether Zacha will be able to return to the Bruins once the NHL season resumes. Filip Chlapik, who plays in the [...]

This week’s list is about roles that actually matter, not chasing the last box score. Every player here has either gained meaningful opportunity (more minutes, better linemates, real PP time) or is producing despite a role that deserves closer scrutiny. The focus is signal over noise: ice time, power-play usage, and lineup context that can [...]
This week we are going to take a bit of a left turn and look at some shooting data. Dobber Frozen Tools Reports has a report titled Missed Shots which includes a lot of interesting information about shot attempts, blocked shots, missed shots, goal posts, and crossbars. For today I wanted to focus in on [...]
In a bit of a surprise, as there had not been any indications it would be the case, Pierre-Luc Dubois returned to the Washington Capitals lineup on Thursday night. Dubois has not played since October following multiple surgeries, and the initial timeline was 3-4 months. The three-month mark would be a couple of days from [...]
Good morning, everyone! Did I play a DFS lineup last night? Well, I guess you can say that…I had a full Nashville top line stack with the Columbus top line and swapped those two around an hour before lock to the Boston top line plus a bunch San Jose stack. It was not a fun [...]
