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 [...]
There are only two days left in the regular season, and a few teams are already done. For those of us still fighting for our lives in a couple of leagues, there are still 13 games left to be played, six tonight and seven on Thursday, with Detroit and Carolina both playing on back-to-back nights. [...]
Hello hockey heads, and welcome to the final regular-season edition of Lining Up! I’m Eli Feldman. With only two more sleeps until the end of the 2024-2025 NHL regular season, it’s nearly time to bid adieu to the NHL’s 16 non-Playoff teams, along with your beloved fantasy hockey squad(s). However, whereas many of the non-Playoff [...]
Good day to all my DFS peps out there! What to do, what to do, what to do when it comes to this slate. I think though, we may have a couple good plays on the board that we can build a lineup from.Slate PreviewToronto Maple LeafsThe Leafs need to keep this top spot in [...]
Monday night was the highly anticipated debut of Montreal Canadiens prospect Ivan Demidov. It was not certain he’d make his way to the Canadiens following his KHL season but the contract situation was figured out and he was in the lineup as Montreal hosted the Chicago Blackhawks. Demidov started the game on a line with [...]
This is the second part of our series looking at young players who could play 60 games (25 games for goalies) or more with the big club in 2025-26. Since we reviewed the first eight teams in the Western Conference for part one, we are going to look at the next eight teams (Nashville to [...]
In this week’s Top 10, I’m looking at 10 players who showed a stronger version of themselves this season compared to last. Some of these names were popular bounce-back picks and some were not. For the most part, they delivered in one way or another. One name you will not see here is Alex Ovechkin, [...]
Thomas Chabot is on some kind of heater right now. A goal and two assists on Sunday give him a five-game point streak, featuring a total of nine points. This late-season surge is helping him get back to the 45–50-point pace he’s lived at for most of his career. That feat would be especially impressive [...]
Alex Ovechkin was the most prominent player among non-injured players not in the lineup on Saturday. I haven’t discussed load management at all in my recent Ramblings because I haven’t noticed it come up significantly until now. At this point, a player like Ovechkin resting adds fuel to the argument that fantasy hockey leagues should [...]
Welcome back to The Journey, where we track the development of prospects as they excel in junior, make the NHL, and push towards stardom. **** No one drafts a player expecting them to fall short, but the risk of unmet expectations is always looming. The real challenge is figuring out when to stick with a player and [...]
