It’s now time to dump your excess Penguins. To elaborate on that, Pittsburgh has the fewest games remaining on the schedule with only 15. They also have the eighth-heaviest workload in terms of opponent goals scored per game (3.04), meaning their goalies (who already only held a tenuous spot on fantasy rosters) are now likely [...]
Sunday’s helper gives Luke Hughes seven points in his last seven outings. Hughes is seeing more power-play opportunity with Dougie Hamilton out for an ‘extended period of time’ and probably should be rostered in more than 48% of Yahoo Leagues. Ivan Fedotov hasn’t allowed more than two goals in each of his last three appearances. [...]
Brad Marchand's week-to-week diagnosis looks like the final nail in the coffin for the Bruins, and it also means a trade for him is highly unlikely. There's some uncertainty to whether he will be back this season, and the Bruins would be foolish to rush him back for meaningless games. Georgii Merkulov has taken Marchand's [...]
Before we get into notes from Sunday’s games, a couple of important injury updates: https://twitter.com/jessi_pierce/status/1896287811713831325 It sounds like Quinn Hughes is day-to-day with a new injury – not the same one that kept him out for most of February. https://twitter.com/harmandayal2/status/1896312295283957964 ~ With a goal and assist on Sunday, Auston Matthews extended his point streak to [...]
Pavel Buchnevich has finally turned things around a little, with six points in his last four games, and eight in seven games since the calendar flipped to February. This comes right after I cut bait with him because I just couldn't wait for the possible turnaround this year. He has been very disappointing offensively, pacing [...]
A hat trick on Sunday gives Alex Ovechkin 29 goals through 41 appearances this season. Double those numbers and you’ll see he’d be on pace for 58 over 82 games. At the age of 39! Simply outstanding. Although he’s seeing less ice time than last year (from 19:13 to 17:37), he’s managed more shots per [...]
Charlie McAvoy’s injury and subsequent health questions, in addition to Matthew Tkachuk getting banged up, Brady Tkachuk being unable to finish the game against Sweden, Shea Theodore being week-to-week, and other injuries piling up through the tournament makes me glad that the NHL already announced a plan to the return to the Olympics. Otherwise, we [...]
With no games on Sunday, I thought we could spend today’s Ramblings looking at some interesting stats so far in 2025. Here are 16 to keep in mind before the fantasy campaign resumes on Saturday! 11.92 That’s the number of goals saved above expected by Spencer Knight in 2025 (via EvolvingHockey). It also happens to [...]
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, Brennan Des, and Dobber — 1. The Top 100 Roto Rankings for February were published Saturday (yesterday). Based on reader feedback and my other observations, I'll [...]
I must say, it's a lot less fun writing the Ramblings and checking your fantasy teams when there are no games on. Looking at the fantasy schedule that we have to deal with from the Four Nations break, games restart on the Saturday Feb 22nd, which means most leagues will have that weekend attached to [...]
