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 [...]
An upper-body injury caused Connor Ingram to leave Sunday’s clash with the Capitals. It seems he got hurt after taking a heavy shot up high. Karel Vejmelka was excellent in relief, stopping 30 of the 32 shots he faced en route to a shootout victory. Vejmelka has solid numbers on the season but has struggled [...]
The injuries that the Columbus Blue Jackets have endured to their forward group has been extensive: Boone Jenner hasn’t played all season, Yegor Chinakhov hasn’t played since November, Sean Monahan is coming up on four weeks with his wrist problem, and yesterday it was revealed that breakout star Kirill Marchenko suffered a broken jaw after [...]
Tage Thompson racked up three points before a hit to the head made him leave the third period of Sunday’s dance with the Devils. Fortunately, it seems the Sabres dodged a bulled here. The rest of the season would be much harder to navigate without their top forward, who has 14 points in his last [...]
Kirill Kaprizov is now scheduled to miss the next four weeks after undergoing surgery for a lower-body injury. Two of those weeks are covered by the break for the Four-Nations tournament, which is good news, meaning Kaprizov may only miss about two weeks, and less than 10 games. * Your top scorer of the night [...]
