Buffalo hit the ice for practice for the first time in over a week but none of their players from the COVID list returned. That includes names like Taylor Hall, Rasmus Dahlin, Brandon Montour, Jake McCabe, and Rasmus Ristolainen. You will notice that that is their top-line left winger and four of their six from [...]

Welcome back to Goldipucks and the Three Skaters, a play on words of the Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Here though, instead of there being three bowls of porridge, normally 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 [...]
Phew, okay. There was a lot of news in the span of about 90 minutes on Tuesday morning. The day began with some terrible news coming down regarding three TSN radio stations located in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Hamilton. The stations were erased from the history books in a matter of moments. In Vancouver, Bell literally [...]

Hello again and welcome to another week of Lining Up. Recently we have seen the Bruins become scary again, the Avs go from juggernaut to just not, and don’t look now - fire up the Chelsea Dagger because here come the Blackhawks… You know sometimes your lineup can look like a joke, except instead of [...]
Ryan Johansen has been described as week-to-week by Predators coach Jon Hynes, so don’t expect him back in the lineup in the near-term. In the meantime, Nashville started their game on Monday with Calle Jarnkrok as the 2C for Grimaldi/Arvidsson. * A fascinating read over at The Athletic from Dom Luszczyszyn on how 3-on-3 overtime [...]

One of the worst things to see when monitoring box scores is seeing your fantasy players with a line of zeroes. We’ve all been there, seeing your player finish with zero goals, zero assists, zero power-play points, zero shots and zero hits. It’s pretty much the same as having the mascot in your lineup. It’s [...]
Erik Gustafsson has four points in his last five games, though there’s a healthy scratch mixed in there.
