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.

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 […]
Continue readingUpdated fantasy hockey rankings: What’s changed from last season?
We last checked in with a rankings update in June, when the NHL was very much in limbo. Since then, we’ve had an extended playoffs, a draft, a long delay, and the start of a very different NHL season. Since then, we’ve revamped the default scoring to better reflect positional value and diverse skill sets […]

General manager Jim Nill said Thursday that Seguin will need about four months to recover after he does have surgery, which would keep him from being available for the anticipated start of the season around Jan. 1. Ten days after the Stars lost Game 6 to Tampa Bay, and between the end of the draft […]
