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 [...]
Happy Holidays to everyone, and I hope you all have a chance to watch the World Junior Championships (WJC) over the next few weeks. The USA won in 2025 and will look to defend its title. This week, we are going to break down any player in the tournament who is representing their NHL team [...]
With each passing year, the “Zero G” draft strategy is receiving more airtime. Given the unrelenting unpredictability of goaltending, the strategy is simple: wait until the late rounds to pull the trigger on a goalie. In the first half of the 2025-2026 season, the league has seen no shortage of Zero G goalies. From backups [...]
The Red Wings pulled off a 3-2 overtime win over the Capitals Sunday afternoon with Moritz Seider scoring the game winning OT goal on a feed from Andrew Copp with Emmitt Finnie who also picked up two assists on the evening. Finnie and Copp were the only Red Wings player to register two points on [...]

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. In the meantime, Connor Ingram has been recalled from the AHL. Ingram has an .856 SV% in the AHL after 11 appearances, so I wouldn’t bank on him [...]
Welcome back to Forum Buzz, where I peruse the DobberHockey Forums and weigh in on active, heavily debated, or otherwise relevant recent threads, reminding folks just how great a resource the Forums are. Nearly anything might be covered here, other than trades and signings, which usually get their own separate write-ups on the main site [...]
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 [...]
With Stuart Skinner finally traded to Pittsburgh after what seemed like weeks or months of speculation, I decided to check in with the Western Teams and see how their goalies were doing. We all should know that it’s not just a reflection on goaltending, but on team defense as well, so I’ve broken out defender [...]
