The Stanley Cup playoffs might seem like a distant memory by now given what has been a crazy offseason. Beyond that, only half the 32 NHL teams even made the playoffs. Still, for fantasy purposes, there were those whose playoff scoring rate varied – for better or worse – enough from their regular season rate [...]
Another quiet night on the NHL slate with no games on tap as we inch closer to the Stanley Cup Final, set to kick off June 2nd with the Vegas Golden Knights taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. With the schedule light, we’ll get right into it and continue the series, once again using the NHL [...]
The playoff picture in the East is still extremely crowded, with wins last night by Ottawa, Columbus (in OT over Detroit), and Philadelphia, in addition to one point earned by the Bruins. Detroit finally got a bigger game from Dylan Larkin, who put forward his first multi-point effort since February 26th, with a goal and [...]
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 [...]
Morgan Geekie continues to chug along and ranks second in the league in goals after scoring his 23rd and 24th goals of the season last night. He’s also ranked 39th in the league in shots, which then had me look into whether he was the top player in the league for save percentage. If you [...]
Today on Frozen Tool Forensics we are going to take a quick departure from actual production and spend some time looking at player deployment. As deployment so often dictates changes in production, we certainly will see some players who are performing a bit better or worse than expected, but what we are really looking at [...]
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 [...]
Another week in the books and we are on to November! I personally can’t believe how fast 2025 has gone and now we are only two months away from the new year. The NHL has blessed us with a busy week as the lightest scheduled days have four games on them. The Frozen Frenzy the [...]
Welcome back to another year of fantasy hockey with Dobber! With the NHL preseason winding down, fantasy managers are now in the process of drafting and preparing for their leagues season. The NHL campaign officially kicks off Tuesday, October 7th. Whether you have already drafted your team and are scanning the waiver wire for possible [...]
Hello everyone and welcome to the latest edition of Eastern Edge! I’m Eli Feldman. A significant determination of a player’s fantasy value is their power play usage. While there are exceptions, an effective even-strength player who lacks meaningful power play minutes is typically less valuable in fantasy circles than an ineffective 5-on-5 player with ample [...]
