Jack Eichel to make Vegas Golden Knights debut Wednesday
“I always had the date circled for a while; I just had to go through all the protocols,” Eichel said. “I just feel like I’m back at that point where I’m ready to play. I just want to get back in there and get the confidence back in playing a game.” Eichel, who was acquired […]

Our first look at Friday’s practice under new head coach Jay Woodcroft and assistant Dave Manson suggests forward Jesse Puljujarvi is earning another shot alongside Connor McDavid and Zach Hyman. Why not? That top trio worked well together in the season’s early goings. If you’ve held on to Puljujarvi this long, may as well maintain […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings update: How to prep for the trade deadline
The wrinkle here, however, is that unless you have a league manager that adjusted your settings, the default fantasy trade deadline in ESPN leagues is March 18. That will add an additional level of speculative moves required in order to capitalize on player movement. And you do want to try to capitalize on it. A […]

What this leaves us with, is a two-week scoring period that includes an all-star game break and during which the Canadian NHL clubs are extra busy. Many of these games were the ones cancelled during the COVID shutdown, or were moved around because of it. As such, Canadian clubs have a few extra games because […]

In that vein, here’s a look at some high FPP60 performers currently averaging fewer than 16 minutes per game. Anthony Duclair, W, Florida Panthers (15:26 average ice time, 8.00 FPP60): To set the tone, we’ll start with someone you probably can’t get your mitts on in your league. Duclair’s production is not a secret, playing […]

Matt Boldy, W, Minnesota Wild: It’s been a particularly successful first four games for Boldy. He almost looks like the missing piece to the Wild’s offensive lineup. Slotting in with Kevin Fiala and Frederick Gaudreau at even strength, and even getting some power-play time with the first unit, he has four points in four games, […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Which goalies are trending up?
During this rough month of COVID-hampered play, we had some disparity in ice time, to be sure. Some teams played as many as 11 times, while the Ottawa Senators, for example, had only four games. With such a range, it’s difficult to pin down the fantasy landscape. But perhaps having a closer look at that […]
