This week we are rounding out our look at some indicators of unsustainability from pre-Olympic action. The goal for each week is to identify a list of players who might be in line for a drop off in their pace. To create the lists, we are focusing on two primary data points, individual shooting percentage [...]
The NHL Trade Deadline is a week from today, but many fantasy trade deadlines are either this week or next. With those deadlines looming, fantasy managers making a championship push will want to bolster their rosters. Below are 9 skaters – from top-of-the-lineup options to depth pieces – to target at this deadline. We are [...]
Welcome back to Puck Picks! Each Thursday, I break down some of my favorite NHL bets, explain the reasoning behind them, and track performance transparently. The goal of this column isn’t just to share picks, but to help you recognize why certain spots have value so you can identify them throughout the season. I’ll be [...]
Good morning, everyone and welcome back! I hope that you had an enjoyable break.I think we remember how to do this, right? I played a Devils second line and Washington second line pair and judging how there’s no email from DraftKings this morning, I’m guessing I missed cash. Wild guess, I know.I’m treating today’s slate [...]
Welcome back, everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the Olympic break. No matter which nation you were cheering for, it was a treat to watch truly elite, best‑on‑best hockey. As we head toward the trade deadline, I’m focusing this week on goaltenders who could be on the move or at least find themselves in the [...]

The Kevin Fiala injury threw a wrench into things though, and we were [...]
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 NHL is back and the Olympic break roster freeze was lifted. It didn’t take long for action to pick up as the Colorado Avalanche traded defenceman Samuel Girard and a 2nd round pick in 2028 to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenceman Brett Kulak, per Evan Rawal. Kulak is in the final year [...]

So, without further delay, here are the East’s top five goaltenders who participated in this [...]
Happy Tuesday y’all! I’m so glad our fantasy leagues are back this week! I can only hang out with my family for so long (just kidding!). Many of you are probably approaching your trade deadline as the NHL’s is about a week and a half away. We will certainly see lines shake up as moves [...]
