Fantasy hockey: Forecaster for the week of March 1-7
This list of players is inspired by Mats Zuccarello’s torrid start to his season. While his 12.00 fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60) is more than double what he’ll end up with eventually, I’m less apt to shrug it off as a streak you should ignore. The chief reason for that is because, while his […]
Continue readingBuffalo Sabres’ Jack Eichel day-to-day; Linus Ullmark to miss at least 2 games
Starting goalie Linus Ullmark will miss at least both games of Buffalo’s weekend series against the Philadelphia Flyers due to a lower-body injury. Captain Jack Eichel is considered day-to-day after a lower-body injury made him a last-minute scratch before Buffalo’s 4-3 overtime loss to New Jersey on Thursday. And Krueger still wasn’t ready on Friday […]

Ullmark stopped all 15 shots he faced in the first period before being replaced by backup Carter Hutton to open the second period due to a lower-body injury. Ullmark was shaken up during an intense Devils scramble in front, which ended with the goalie reaching out to glove Nico Hischier’s snap shot from the high […]

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 […]

Tod Leiweke joined as CEO early on and formed a business staff and analytics department. A general manager, Ron Francis, was named seven months in, and his first hires were pro scouts to begin working on the expansion draft. Seattle is still in no rush to hire a head coach — which made it curious […]

Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings Week 5 update: Hold onto Jordan Staal and Bryan Rust
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 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 […]
Continue readingNHL Power Rankings: 1-31 poll, plus the best new face for every team in the 2021 season
With two weeks of games in the book in the 2021 NHL season, some teams are pulling away from the pack, while others need to jump-start their season fast; such is the unforgiving nature of a condensed season. We’re also getting a sense of which players are going to make a impact this season. For […]
