Glad to be back on somewhat of a routine again!
Looks like RW Sebastian Aho from Carolina, not to be mistaken for the defenseman Sebastian Aho from the NY Islanders-although he may be a good one someday, seems to be heating up. Kudos to those sticking with him through his rather slow start. Grab him if he’s available. The Carolina player, not the Islander one.
Chicago’s Brandon Saad has really crashed and burned since his hot start. I believe he will start to score more consistently going forward.
Auston Matthews is back and he made his return with a ‘statement’. That Statement being 2 goals. Wow. Half as good as his NHL debut.
Mitch Marner was appreciative assisting on both AM’s goals.
What is up with Luke Witkowski? And shouldn’t Matthew Tkachuk get more than the 1-game suspension and Witkowski get less than the 10-games? I mean, he slashed the back of Witkowski’s leg kind of instigating that melee.
Break out the champagne! The Arizona Coyotes won 2 in a row for the first time this season. Of course the champagne will have to be a dry one.
Need a goal scorer badly. If Anthony Duclair is available, perhaps he will be the goal scorer everyone has been waiting for. He did have a hattie on Saturday.
Sean Monahan also had a hattie against Philadelphia, all coming in the second period. Wooohoo!
Is that all we get from the Edmonton Oilers? One good season and a playoff berth and now a return to mediocrity? Oh wait, they’ve been worse than mediocrity for a long time before last season’s 2 playoff rounds.
If Jason Spezza is available, pick him up, store him on your bench, and then he will either get on a roll, or get traded and really get on a roll.
I believe you are about to see the Division standings start to look like they are supposed to with maybe one or two surprises in there like we have every year.
That Devan Dubnyk sure went on a roll, didn’t he? Three straight shutouts! Plus one guy in m one of my fantasy leagues had him. But he also had Sergei Bobrovsky who shutout the Rangers on Friday night. What a week!
Looks like Bobrovsky is finally over his injury-prone stage.
The Winnipeg Jets are coming together thanks to Conor Hellebuyck’s play this season. Sorry Steve Mason.
LA’s Darcy Kuemper must’ve been watching ex-teammate Devan Dubnyk recent performance as he too posted a shutout on Saturday, just not three in a row. That would be difficult to do with Jonathan Quick in net for the Kings.
Does anyone else feel like the Carolina Hurricanes are going to get on a nice extended roll?
Now is the time to get Jack Eichel if he is in the slightest degree available in your fantasy league.
There is a lot wrong in Montreal. I did not see all this coming. Oh boy!
At some point we are going to look back and see the Chicago Blackhawks sitting in or near the top of the division and wonder when did they put together this streak.
Nino Niederreiter has a 3-game goal-scoring streak. Smiles.
There is something Kerfoot going on in Colorado and his name is Alexander.
Braden Schenn and Jayden Schwartz are a lovely fantasy duo.
Have a great week and may all your fantasies come true!
