No Jack Eichel meant no goals for the Sabres, and a shutout for Brian Elliott. The veteran Flyers goalie stopped all 23 shots he faced to earn his second shutout of the season. The 35-year-old Elliott might not be viewed as a must-own fantasy asset, but he has posted quality numbers (5-1-0, 2.03 GAA, .931 [...]
Welcome back to The Journey. Do you find yourself stumped mid-week trying to decide who to pick up for your weekend fantasy stretch?

It’s been another relatively quiet week on the Covid front, which has led to a hearty week of fantasy. Each day Monday through Thursday featured at least six games with Friday adding another three.
