We can stop calling the Utah franchise whatever we were calling them before (it was never Hockey Club in my book), as the team announced on Wednesday that the franchise is officially named the Mammoth. Overall, not a bad choice. The name is kind of fun and the logo looks good. That logo does kind [...]
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 [...]
Today we will continue our series addressing some of the biggest questions facing each Eastern Conference team this offseason. This column will mark the halfway point of the conference, completing eight of the sixteen teams in alphabetical order – and funnily enough, it will also be the eight teams who missed the playoffs. We’ll dive [...]
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 [...]
The panel was correct on six out of the eight playoff series in Round 1, only missing on perhaps the two toughest series of the first round. Florida and Dallas were the two teams that won despite being picked by the minority of writers, but they may have been picked by the majority with different [...]
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 [...]
This week’s focus is on under-the-radar power-play drivers. These are not the usual suspects like McDavid, Kucherov, MacKinnon, Marner or Makar. 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 [...]
1.6 seconds (later changed to 2.2). That’s all that stood between the Jets and heartbreak at home in Game 7. Fortunately, Winnipeg is one of Canada’s coldest cities, so a few Jets had ice in their veins on Sunday night. Captain Adam Lowry lifted his team to Round 2 with the game-winning goal in double [...]
