In a bit of non-fantasy news, CBA discussions are set to start soon between the NHL and the Players’ Association. Given the sharply-rising cap, the pending Olympics, the likelihood of fiscal issues in both America and Canada over the coming years, and a lot more, these negotiations will have a lot to cover. There shouldn’t [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
The biggest beneficiary of the Brock Nelson trade has been Jean-Gabriel Pageau who is playing second line minutes and has five points in his first five games there. The linemate quality hasn’t really improved, as Anders Lee has been and still is his most frequent partner, while one of Simon Holmstrom or Anthony Duclair have [...]

The Eastern Conference has been a masterclass lately in team resilience, competition and individual brilliance. The playoffs are currently around 15 games away for most clubs, and the competition to get in has been heating up. Alex Ovechkin is steadily chasing history—he’s now just eight goals shy of breaking the all-time record. On March 15, [...]
One of the more intriguing storylines all season was the health of Colorado Avalanche winer Gabriel Landeskog. He has slowly been making his way back from a knee cartilage transplant surgery, and at times it seemed as if his career may be over. There was some very good news from him and the team on [...]
Last year around this time, I wrote about which players drove play the most and the least on each team in the West. I relied on IPP (Individual Points Percentage) and secondary assists, which is a very simplistic way to determine the players, but it has some validity. IPP is the percentage of on-ice goals [...]
In my recent articles, I have been focusing on players who could be valuable additions for your playoff push. Most first-liners are already long gone in Yahoo! and Fantrax leagues, so the key is finding those undervalued players who are heating up at the perfect time.
