Fantasy hockey rankings: Championship week best pickups
If the Toronto Maple Leafs pull away from the Tampa Bay Lightning a little more over the next couple of games, they might be in a position to rest toward the end of the season. The Calgary Flames might be in a position soon where their seeding won’t change, but they still might need to […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: The returns and debuts most important to their teams
Thankfully, however, most of the races are being kept tight enough that teams won’t be able to consider resting players for at least a couple of weeks. Even though the teams in the postseason in the Eastern Conference are all but officially settled, there is enough jostling for seeding left that teams likely won’t be […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Teams resting stars? Here’s who will get those starts
The Colorado Avalanche have a healthy 13-point lead on their current status as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Is that reason enough to consider Nazem Kadri’s upper-body injury a season-ending one? Perhaps he comes back to get his legs for a couple of games before the postseason, but perhaps the Avs hold […]
Continue readingNHL Power Rankings: 1-32 poll, plus way-too-early trade deadline appraisals
With more than a week since the 2021-22 NHL trade deadline, it’s given us a small taste of all the traded players suiting up for their new teams — for better or worse.

It has been two years since the NHL completed an 82-game regular season. Now, that finale is exactly one month away.

With that final push in mind, let’s have a spin through the “what have you done for me lately?” file. This is looking at fantasy points per game (FPPG) for the past three weeks and cross-referencing with availability in fantasy leagues. Brock Nelson, C, New York Islanders (3.2 FPPG in past three weeks; available in […]

Phillip Danault, C, Los Angeles Kings (Rostered in 50.6% of ESPN.com leagues): The experienced center shoots the puck frequently and scores goal. That’s the meat of the fantasy matter. Danault also blocks more shots than your typical top-six skater. No member of the Kings’ forward corps has enjoyed a more fruitful March from a fantasy […]

LAS VEGAS — Evgenii Dadonov scored in overtime as the Vegas Golden Knights overcame a three-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Chicago Blackhawks 5-4 Saturday. Dadonov’s winner marked his second goal in two games since returning to Vegas’ roster after the NHL on Wednesday negated a trade that sent him to Anaheim […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey: What to expect from those traded and those who were not
As expected, new Panther Claude Giroux is initially hooking up with (a very excited) Aleksander Barkov and Carter Verhaeghe on the club’s top line, leaving the potent second unit of Jonathan Huberdeau, Sam Bennett, and Anthony Duclair intact. More interestingly, the former Flyer appears to be joining an all-forward cast on Florida’s top power play. […]

The NHL announced on Wednesday that it was cancelling the trade that sent forward Evgenii Dadonov from the Vegas Golden Knights to the Anaheim Ducks because it violated his limited no-trade clause. Before Monday’s NHL trade deadline, Vegas moved Dadonov, a 33-year-old right winger, to the Ducks along with a conditional second-round pick for defenseman […]
