Good morning, good afternoon, good evening everyone. Welcome to the Injury Ward. My name is Logan Clarkson and every Wednesday I will be chauffeuring you through injury news and updates from around the NHL. I’ll do my best to offer useful analysis and opinion as it relates to fantasy throughout. As always, I'd like to [...]
With the 2024-25 season not yet even in the books, it may seem strange to run a poll that is focused on 2025-26; but I figured that many readers don’t participate in playoff pools, so the forward-looking content would be appreciated. Plus, how the upcoming UFA class will perform versus expectations is among the most [...]
Frederik Andersen had the best GSAA numbers in round one (a cumulative stat noting how many goals above average a goalie stopped), despite playing only 3.5 games. He made his return for game two last night, and only allowed one across just over three periods last night in the overtime in Washington. He could be [...]
The NHL Draft Lottery took place on Monday night, and in a huge move up the board, the New York Islanders ended up winning the first overall pick. So, the team that currently does not have a general manager now has the first overall pick in the Draft. I wonder how much this changes the [...]
This week, I’m going to look at teams in the Western Conference and review players set to become free agents on July 1st or at the end of 2025-26. We will also see how much cap space each team has with the salary cap increasing to $95.5 million in 2025-26. We will attempt to look [...]

Instead, these are players who quietly impact the man advantage through smart puck movement, high shot volume, or consistent decision-making. A power-play driver is not always the one finishing the play, they are also [...]

With the 2024-25 regular season in the books, it’s time for me to do what I always do every year, and that’s revisit my Fearless Forecasts that I made right before the puck dropped on game 1. The good news is there was only one way for me to go, and that was up, considering [...]
With the first round getting closer to being closed out, some of you have pools where you get to replace injured/lost players, or otherwise pick new players for round two (and potentially beyond). Let’s dive into how best to do that. At this point, most of you and your competition have tried focusing in on [...]

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