Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening! Welcome back to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday and Sunday I will be taking you through injury news and updates from around the NHL. I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it relates to fantasy throughout. At the [...]
The LA Kings have pulled the plug on Jim Hiller, with D.J. Smith stepping in as interim head coach for the rest of the season. This has felt like it was simmering for a while. Since coming out of the Olympic break, the Kings dropped two of three, and those losses weren’t quiet ones. They [...]
The NHL is back and Fantrax/Yahoo/ESPN leagues are showing points beside your team! Lots of speculation on who Artemi Panarin would line up with out there, with ideas from Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe, to uniting him with struggling Russian Andrei Kuzmenko. The Kevin Fiala injury threw a wrench into things though, and we were [...]
The Philadelphia and Anaheim matchup turned into a double revenge game, with former Duck Trevor Zegras outscoring former Flyer Cutter Gauthier 2-1, all in the first period.

From Cutter Gauthier’s sophomore leap to Evgeni Malkin’s age-38 playmaking clinic, these profiles highlight where per-60 production and deployment intersect to create actionable fantasy edges. How [...]
In my Ramblings last Friday, I started a three-part series looking at arbitrage drafting options for this season. That post covered defencemen, and today we’re moving to wingers. The concept of arbitrage in fantasy sports in straightforward: which undervalued player at a given position has similar projections to an overvalued player at the same position? [...]
For the last 22 years (13 with The Hockey News) Dobber has reviewed each team from a fantasy-hockey standpoint and graded them. The 23rd annual review will appear here on DobberHockey throughout the summer. This is not a review of the likely performance on the ice or in the standings, but in the realm of [...]
In today’s fantasy hockey landscape, managers in multi-category formats know it takes more than just goals and assists to build a winning roster. Blocks, hits, and shot volume play a critical role in separating the top teams from the pack.
