Fantasy hockey rankings Week 8 update: Ten goalie situations to monitor
I also want to take stock of the position through analyzing fantasy points per 60 (FPP60) and crease share to date, while looking forward and projecting those stats. But I’m also shortening the bench for a distilled look at the stats. Here’s a quick rundown on how some key fantasy goaltenders have performed since Feb. […]
Continue readingThe NHL’s best and worst this week: The New York Islanders are an under-the-radar force once again
Death, taxes, and discounting the New York Islanders until they go on a run that forces you to pay attention. It’s been a yearly tradition for the Isles in the Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz era. But as a rival player told me recently: “The Islanders have the strongest team identity in the league.” One […]

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, […]

Clayton Keller, C/LW/RW, Arizona Coyotes (36.6%): Following a largely uninspired January, the 22-year-old has six goals and eight assists in 14 contests, including three goals and two helpers in his past four. That point-per-game pace – a good number of them counting with the extra skater – merits more love across ESPN.com’s fantasy spectrum. Take […]

How we rank: The ESPN hockey editorial staff submits selections ranking teams 1 to 31 — taking into account game results, injuries and upcoming schedule — and those results are tabulated in the list featured here.

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: 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 […]

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 […]
