How Taylor Hall’s prior career stops led to his 2021 renaissance with the Boston Bruins
Hall, 29, scored eight goals in 16 regular-season games with the Bruins, then two more in their first-round series win against the Washington Capitals, as he heads to the second round of the playoffs for the first time in his 11-year career. It’s a big uptick from his two goals in 37 games with Buffalo, […]

Thursday night’s four-game playoff slate was all about theatrics, and plenty of offense. Thirty goals were scored over four games. Friday is a big day for clarification, as the Washington Capitals try to even their series with the Boston Bruins, the Colorado Avalanche look to build a 3-0 lead over the St. Louis Blues and […]

No, there’s no reason to suspect a further spiralling of the planet into some Lovecraftian horror. It’s the Seattle Kraken that will wrap their tentacles around players and pull them into the Northwest. The Vegas Golden Knights get to skip this expansion draft, being relatively new to the league themselves. But that also offers a […]

Two overtime games, and one absolute barnburner in front of a wild crowd in Florida. The road teams went 3-0. No one held more than a one-goal lead. The second day of the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs brought the heat. And to think, half of the series haven’t even started yet. Two of those series […]

The 2021 NHL season was a campaign the likes of which we’ve never seen — and hope to never see again. The game schedule was limited (both in overall volume and variety of opponents). The fan capacity was limited. Thankfully, the permutations of how the Stanley Cup Final might play out are less limited because […]

It’s a different game, without question. Managers must weigh an individual’s projected productivity with their respective team’s chances at surviving one round after another. Connor McDavid‘s proclivity for putting up points will only go so far if the Winnipeg Jets sweep the Edmonton Oilers in four (this won’t happen). Ideally, fantasy competitors want to invest […]

BOSTON — Mika Zibanejad had two goals and Pavel Buchnevich had three assists, as the weary New York Rangers, short-handed after a rollercoaster week on and off the ice, outlasted the Boston Bruins, 5-4, in the season finale for the road team Saturday. K’Andre Miller, Alexis Lafreniere and Vitali Kravtsov also scored for the Rangers, […]

The poor fantasy managers invested in the Calgary Flames can’t be pleased with the remaining schedule. The Flames only have five more games to count for fantasy. The Los Angeles Kings, Canucks, St. Louis Blues and Colorado Avalanche, for example, have 10. Vince Dunn is more appealing than Mark Giordano under these circumstances, and it’s […]
