Panthers vow to be better for Bobrovsky, ‘our best player’
Bobrovsky was pulled a little more than seven minutes into the second period after allowing four goals on 13 shots. It’s the second consecutive game in which Bobrovsky, a two-time Vezina Trophy recipient, allowed four goals with the biggest difference in Game 1 being the Golden Knights needed 33 shots throughout an entire 60-minute session […]

Of the 12 total teams playing, five of them play again on Tuesday and one of them just played on Sunday. If you can read the tea leaves just right, it’s a chance for some goaltending stats off the free-agent pile. The Dallas Stars, New Jersey Devils, Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers and Nashville Predators will […]
Continue readingRest-of-season rankings: The most improved players
There isn’t anything special about the rankings here compared to every week, but that’s because these rest-of-season rankings aim to capture a snapshot of what a draft might be like every single week of the season. With that in mind, we are going to highlight some of the biggest swings in value since the puck […]

Elsewhere, the Islanders are hoping to rebound off this week’s uncharacteristic 7-4 loss to the Blues. A big ask, considering they’re facing the red-hot Devils in New Jersey. The Isles are better at home than on the road. A later-night highlight features Connor McDavid and the Oilers hosting the Wild after losing in Minnesota 5-3, […]
Continue readingThe fantasy hockey schedule hack you should be taking advantage of
Every year a handful of teams feature more frequently on extra light schedules than others. Just like a near equal bundle of clubs (by mathematical necessity) play more often on heavier timetables. Investing in fantasy commodities from the former over the latter immediately provides your roster with a boost. Simply by being on the ice […]

Well, in Edmonton we’ll have a meeting between the two biggest fish in the free-agent goalie pond from the offseason! Oh, what’s that? The Oilers are using Stuart Skinner more often than Jack Campbell of late (with good reason) and Darcy Kuemper is day-to-day for the Capitals. So, we might see both of them, but […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Can these disappointing starters turn it around?
Injuries don’t count, so Zach Werenski and Josh Norris get a pass. Rookies don’t count either, so we aren’t bothering with Marco Rossi and Shane Wright. This is about established NHLers with a reliable baseline coming well short of expectations. They are arranged by how much they are missing the preseason projections I assigned to […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: Why these two Coyotes can keep scoring
Jakob Chychrun and Nick Schmaltz returned to the lineup for the Arizona Coyotes for the first time this season (basically, as Schmaltz was hurt two minutes into the opener and Chychrun hadn’t yet played in 2022-23). In four games since then, the upstart Coyotes have earned four of a possible eight points (great by their […]
Continue readingFantasy hockey rankings: What’s behind Mikhail Sergachev’s rise?
Since the change, the Bolts advantage has gone six-for-19 on the advantage (31.6%). On the surface and certainly by the statistics, Sergachev is beating Hedman when it comes to fantasy value. But don’t be so hasty now. Sergachev deserves to push up these rankings. His offense off the power play has leveled up, with 10 […]

NEWARK, N.J. — As the New Jersey Devils celebrated their franchise record-tying 13th consecutive victory Monday night, a sold-out home crowd rose to its feet to commemorate the moment. “I think the team deserves a standing ovation. A run like this is incredible,” Devils coach Lindy Ruff said following his team’s 5-2 win over the […]
