The World Juniors kicked off on Boxing Day, just as they do every year. For at least a day, they don’t need to compete with the NHL, which is on the last day of its three-day holiday break. Since I have the space today, I’ll share some of my observations of the WJC games played [...]
Happy Christmas eve to those who celebrate, and to those who don’t, we wish you a happy “three days off from NHL nonsense as the World Juniors begin” season. * Jamie Benn’s peripherals have dropped off a bit as the mid-season doldrums have kicked in now – he was really stuffing the stats initially upon [...]
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. Right before the NHL holiday roster freeze kicked in, NHL GMs quickly consummated two trades.

The high injury total from the condensed schedule has resulted in more prospects and faces in new places taking more prominent roles than they normally would. You’ll see a few of those players in today’s Ramblings. Denver Barkey had an impressive NHL debut, finishing with two assists in 15:18 while playing on a line with [...]
Just one week after being acquired by Edmonton from Pittsburgh, Tristan Jarry has been placed on injured reserve while he undergoes further evaluation for a lower-body injury.

Morgan Geekie continues to chug along and ranks second in the league in goals after scoring his 23rd and 24th goals of the season last night. He’s also ranked 39th in the league in shots, which then had me look into whether he was the top player in the league for save percentage. If you [...]

Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Puneet Sharma, and Dobber — 1. The Quinn Hughes trade rumors had ramped up over the past week to the point where a deal this season [...]
The morning after I listed Simon Nemec as a potential weekend add, he was declared out for both of the Devils’ weekend games. Sorry about that. The Devils are dealing with a rash of injuries and absences at the moment, as Jack Hughes, Timo Meier, Arseny Gritsyuk, and Brett Pesce (among others) also missed Saturday’s [...]
Scott Wedgewood and Thomas Harley made their returns to the lineup last night. Harley was sitting behind Miro Heiskanen as far as the offence in Dallas was concerned early on, so it will be interesting to see whether he can make any in-roads there, and how that affects what has been a fantastic run from [...]
