Fantasy hockey rankings Week 7 update: Stash or watch these IR eligible players
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 […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey dynasty rankings: Connor McDavid still tops list of 250 keepers
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 […]
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 […]

“We feel incredibly lucky to bring in two highly respected executives with a combined 50-plus years of NHL management experience,” said Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse, to whom Burke will report. Patrik Allvin, who became interim GM of the Penguins when Jim Rutherford resigned on Jan. 27 for personal reasons, will return to his […]

Update (Monday, 12pm ET) on this week’s game postponements in accordance with the NHL’s COVID-19 protocol: The New Jersey Devils, Buffalo Sabres, and Pittsburgh Penguins are off until Thursday, at the earliest. The Minnesota Wild are also scheduled to resume play Thursday, but that could change in light of additional players joining the league’s protocol […]
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 […]

The 37-year-old Daley announced his retirement after 16 seasons on Monday in conjunction with his decision to begin his post-playing career by returning to the Penguins. The team said Daley will assist in player evaluations at both the NHL and minor league levels and help the coaching staff during games. “In addition to being a […]
