Hello and welcome back to Geek of the Week! In this week’s article, I am going to take a look at some of the “peripheral” categories in fantasy leagues: hits, blocks, penalty minutes, and plus-minus. Some players have emerged from the minors as great banger options, while some have just flipped a switch lately and [...]

Either format your league plays in, every add/drop from here on out is pivotal. [...]
Let’s begin with an Ovechkin update. Alex Ovechkin scored goal number 888 on Thursday, which means he is seven goals away from breaking Gretzky’s goal record.
