Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]
Welcome to the final Ramblings of 2025. After a quick holiday break, we've had a busy few days of games, which has left us with a lower than usual number of Tuesday night games. That makes for a rebound to a bigger slate on New Year’s Eve today, so keep a closer eye on your Wednesday [...]
This week, we are going to take a quick look at skaters who are on pace to reach 100 hits AND 100 blocks, which I term the 100/100 Club. In 2024-25, 38 skaters accomplished this feat, with only two of them being forwards (Noel Acciari, 180 hits/100 blocks and Brandon Tanev, 168/105). Blocks are the [...]
With December almost in the rearview mirror, it’s time to spotlight the NHLers who owned the final month of the calendar year. From superstars who reached full throttle to a few unexpected names who forced their way into the fantasy spotlight, here are the Top 10 performers of the month of December.

Tampa Bay had this game exactly where they wanted it. Up 4–1 cruising to a win. Montreal comes back with four unanswered goals, the last one with four seconds left, just enough time to flip the script apart and force overtime. Nick Paul and Nikita Kucherov were the difference with Kucherov scored twice in regulation. [...]

Writers/Editors: Ian Gooding, Michael Clifford, Alexander MacLean, Puneet Sharma, and Dobber — 1.

Auston Matthews’ statline on Saturday finally resembled that of a stud: 1 G, 2 A, +2, 9 SOG. When Dobber asked on X which player would you never draft again, I noticed a few Matthews responses. It’s only one game, but perhaps a few days of rest in a condensed schedule went a long way. [...]
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 [...]
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. Merry Christmas Eve and Happy holidays! Welcome back to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday and Sunday I will be sleighing you through injury news and updates from around the NHL. I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it [...]
In last month’s poll, the focus was on skaters whose starts to the season were much better than expected. Not surprisingly, this month’s poll looks at the other side of the coin, namely skaters who are underperforming. For each choice, I’ve listed three numbers: (1) their actual scoring pace through December 20th games, (2) their [...]
