Golden Knights enter playoffs trying to figure out goalie position
And then which one over the other? Logan Thompson and Adin Hill each have compelling cases to be in the net when Vegas begins its Stanley Cup title defense.

Juuse Saros and Igor Shesterkin have made late-season charges in value, but prior to February it was Connor Hellebuyck all alone that could be described as elite, expected (was top 10 in ADP back in October) and reliable fantasy goaltending. With only a dozen or so games left in the season for most teams, only […]

In one respect, fantasy managers in head-to-head playoff competition can feel a kinship with those presently competing on NCAA hardcourts: There’s no tomorrow if you don’t win today.

With 11 teams facing back-to-back sets this weekend, fantasy managers with streaming flexibility will be spoiled for choice in selecting from a solid crew of quality backups.

It’s crunch time. With only five short weeks remaining in the NHL regular season, it’s more important than ever to take the “what-have-you-done-for-me-lately” approach to assembling your nightly fantasy lineup. A philosophy that applies even more heavily to the goaltending position, where a swing into negative integers for a single outing can broker the difference […]

Week 22 of the fantasy season, which has a good chance of being the final week of the regular season depending on the setup in your head-to-head league, begins as most weeks do: A lighter Monday and Wednesday bookending a busy Tuesday. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning are taking the start […]

This might be the season’s trickiest forecasting piece to assemble in that, only a handful of hours from now, several key fantasy figures are almost certain to be surrounded by different teammates, holding down changed roles, leaving altered situations behind with their respective former squads. Names like Tyler Toffoli, Pavel Buchnevich, Frank Vatrano, and maybe […]
