Here’s the latest injury news from across the NHL! Detailed injury updates usually become scarce during the playoffs, presumably because teams don’t want the opposition to target their injured players. As a result, the Injury Ward article will probably be put on hold until the offseason, when we’ll review the injury landscape ahead of next year’s campaign. [...]

Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Instead of there being three bowls of porridge though, I cover three skaters and declare one too hot (i.e., doing unsustainably better than he should), another too cold (i.e., doing unsustainably worse), and a third [...]

Craig Smith was out for Game 2 between Boston and New York while Jake DeBrusk was on the second line. It is a reminder that while DeBrusk had a bad year, he has had good years before and was Boston’s staple on the second line with David Krejci. Do not give up on him just [...]
Here are the Top 100 goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues - May edition! Go by Tiers. Do not bother quibbling over the Ranking spot (Dobber's note: People are already quibbling over ranking spot - a goalie isn't 25th... he's Tier 3, meaning he is the same as other goalies in Tier 3).

Teams in the Wild West were under-represented this year with only seven squads in the playoffs and now it is down to three remaining after the first round. Winnipeg, Colorado and Vegas remain in their quest for the Stanley Cup but only two of those can get through to the next round. Colorado can’t win [...]
