Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. Welcome back to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday and Sunday I will be chauffeuring you through injury news and updates from around the NHL.

Brady Tkachuk will be out six to eight weeks due to surgery on his thumb, according to Bruce Garrioch. If that timeline holds, it looks like he’ll be out until December. Including Wednesday and Thursday night’s games, if Tkachuk returns on December 2nd, that would mean 22 games missed, or a quarter of the season. [...]
Welcome back to Puck Picks! Each Thursday, I’ll be breaking down some of my favorite NHL bets. The goal isn’t just to share picks, but to explain the why behind them, helping you recognize similar value spots on your own throughout the season.

The Detroit Red Wings announced that winger Lucas Raymond was day-to-day after leaving their game against Toronto on Monday with an injury. He did not play on Wednesday night, though it seems as if this will be a short-term thing. Even without Raymond in the lineup, Detroit was able to post its third win in [...]

The Guide has projections, a draft list, columns that include a schedule breakdown, [...]
Alright, so this one’s another dive into a new dataset I’ve been messing around with. I pulled game-by-game data from MoneyPuck going back to the 2008–09 NHL season, cleaned it up as best I could, and threw it into Tableau to see what kind of visualizations I could build. This is very much a work [...]
There are plenty of players who fall into this category, whether they are long-time card-carrying members of the Band-Aid Boy club, recent additions, or sitting right on the edge of earning that label. Owning one in fantasy can be frustrating, any more is just heartbreaking, but it does happen. If you draft them, you need [...]
