Fantasy hockey rankings Week 8 update: Ten goalie situations to monitor
I also want to take stock of the position through analyzing fantasy points per 60 (FPP60) and crease share to date, while looking forward and projecting those stats. But I’m also shortening the bench for a distilled look at the stats. Here’s a quick rundown on how some key fantasy goaltenders have performed since Feb. […]

Tarasenko has been a consistent contributor of 2.2 fantasy points per game (FPPG) for a couple of seasons now. At that pace, he would project for a further 66 fantasy points this season, which slots him in at No. 55 among all skaters. Of course, that is assuming he can recapture his usual pace quickly, […]

Hits and blocked shots, however, are less likely to ebb and flow for the non-elite fantasy assets. The same is somewhat true of shots. They are stats that can be collected by a player for fantasy points independent of deployment. Not completely independent, mind you, but to an extent, taking those actions doesn’t rely on […]

With the switch to a points-based default game, and the redesign on the scoring settings, the opportunity presented itself to move to a points-based ranking system as we attempt to forecast how the next few years might play out. Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and play your way […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 6 update: Top four goalies to trade for
Based on current season fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60), games remaining for each club and each goaltender’s timeshare percentage in their team’s crease, only four goaltenders are projected to accumulate more than 100 points from this stage forward. And of those four, fantasy managers could only feel really good about Andrei Vasilevskiy and Semyon […]

If we take a player’s fantasy points per game (FPPG) and multiply it by the number of games they have left, that’s how much fantasy value they have remaining — again, assuming a static pace forward (which we know isn’t the case). Join or create a league in the No. 1 Fantasy Hockey game, and […]
Continue readingThe NHL’s best and worst this week: The secrets to Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Duncan Keith’s longevity
When the Chicago Blackhawks publicly admitted to a rebuild this past offseason, there was plenty of speculation about whether Chicago’s veteran core would want to see it through. Perhaps we weren’t asking the right questions. One month into the 2021 season, the Blackhawks are far more competitive than expected; at 7-5-4, Chicago is in lockstep […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 4 update: Right time to drop slumping starters?
We have a larger-than-usual batch of new faces to the rankings this week, with 22 players shuffled in and 22 shuffled out. Why? With close to a quarter of the season on the books, it feels like a good chance to do some “spring cleaning” of the ranks. There are more than a few dust […]

WASHINGTON — Alex Ovechkin didn’t know how he would feel after not skating, let alone playing hockey, for the past 10 days while in quarantine. It turned out to be pure jubilation. In his first game since Jan. 19, Ovechkin scored the overtime winner to help the Washington Capitals beat the Boston Bruins 4-3 on […]

Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand knows better than to agitate former teammate Zdeno Chara, even though he’s now an opponent. “No, you don’t want to poke the bear,” Marchand said. Chara faces the Bruins on Saturday for the first time since leaving Boston as a free agent, signing with the Washington Capitals in the offseason. […]
