Kirill Marchenko was not in the lineup for Columbus on Monday night, having pulled a muscle during morning skate, according to Brian Hedger. The team doesn’t seem to think it’ll be a long-term absence so consider him day-to-day for now, but we should get a clearer update in the next day or two. Columbus ended [...]
For this week, we are going to look at some skaters and goalies in the AHL who have had good starts to 2025-26. I’m going to focus on players under the age of 25 who were highly-touted prospects, but will make note of any veterans or late-round pick prospects who might deserve a look in [...]
The NHL’s heavyweight scene is constantly evolving. Given the excruciating demands of life as an NHL enforcer, few manage to stick around long enough to become part of the league’s folklore. However, this year’s heavyweight list features a unique blend of veterans who have carried the mantle for years and newcomers who are quickly building [...]
Buffalo wrapped up their week with an early afternoon tilt against Carolina, and they handled it with the kind of structure and confidence we have not always seen from them this season. Since Nov. 15, the Sabres have quietly built some momentum, winning three of four games. Toss this one onto the win column, and [...]

The 2022 NHL Draft class has already produced some full-time contributors, but a large portion of its first-round talent is still finding its footing. For fantasy managers, this group is especially intriguing. Most [...]
To say the NHL is buzzing right now would be an egregious understatement. It’s a young man’s game and with three of the top-five scorers barely at the legal drinking age, it’s go-time for run-and-gun offensive play resulting in nightly high-paced, frenetic-style matchups that are sure to be on full display once again this evening.

Connor Hellebuyck is expected to miss the next 4-6 weeks, as he will undergo a minor arthroscopic knee procedure. The timeline should make Hellebuyck available in January, about a month before the Olympics start. After starting in the 4 Nations last season, Hellebuyck has the inside track to be the starting goalie for the USA [...]
This week’s list leans toward players whose roles have opened up in very real, very actionable ways.
