#FlyTogether vs #SeaKraken
LaCombe will get some prime opportunity to hit for fantasy. The team and the coaching are much better. 60 points isn't out of the question
Beniers is a player I want to be in on but he may just be a better player in reality than for fantasy. Watchlist
#VegasBorn vs #TheFutureIsTeal
Schmid is a nice stream tonight if you need a goalie. Vegas is a wagon.
How will the Sharks defensive play look with some actual NHLers on the backend? Klingberg and Orlov could make a difference in transition as well.
#Flames vs #Canucks
Joel Farabee played a WHOPPING 20:30 last night. This is a guy that can drive play at an elite level but has never been given that type of TOI. I'm interested if that is real.
Chytil vs Kane/DeBrusk on PP1? I hope Chytil finds his way there at some point.
#TusksUp vs #GoAvsGo
What kind of value will Peterka return? PP2, L2 and a hefty AAV. I wasn't quite as high on him in draft SZN for this very reason.
Landeskog with a shocking 11:12 of TOI last game. If that continues, he could be trending towards a drop. PP2 as well.
#TexasHockey vs #GoJetsGo
Heiskanen vs Harley on PP1? Looks like Miro at the moment. Harley still has value but ceiling is capped. Miro could be a nice steal in your drafts.
Iafallo is the beneficiary on PP1 with Perfetti out. Still just a stream but you could do worse.
#CBJ vs #Smashville
Greaves with the opening night start! Great sign for those of you who picked him up late. #ZeroG
You know I'm watching my boy Svechkov! He's not an add but he's L2 with Stamkos and Evangelista. There's opportunity there to pop. 40-50 points too spicy?
#mnwild vs #stlblues
Buium has PP1 locked down but will he get sheltered EV minutes? If he gets 20+ minutes, he could be a real steal for your squads.
Jimmy Snuggles L1, PP1 to start the year. Watch the box score for TOI and underlying metrics. He shouldn't be on your wire.
#CarolinaCulture vs #NJDevils
Mercer vs Meier on PP1? Looks like Mercer for now and L. Hughes on the backend. This was easily the most dangerous PP last year so Mercer would be a great stream with benefits.
EHLERS SZN in CAR! How will RBA deploy this stud? 18-20 min = blast off
#LetsGoPens vs #Isles
Brazeau with 6 SOG, 8 iCF, 7iSCF, 4 hits in just 12:49 last game. L2 with Malkin. Is this real? Player of interest for sure.
Schaefer's first NHL game! I'm watching TOI. I think he could surprise some people this season with some underrated production. PP2
#TimeToHunt vs #LetsGoFlyers
Ekblad vs Verhaeghe on PP1? Will they continue their 2D set? They went 1/2 against the Hawks. Bennett and Marchand PP1.
Zegras is the player I'm watching. Can he get back to 70-point form? L2, PP1 will help. Access to TK will as well. Roster him.
#GoSensGo vs #GoBolts
Can Bjorkstrand create enough offence at 5V5 to be more than just a streamer? PP1 on TB is amazing but he'll need 15+ minutes to stay on our rosters.
Zetterlund L1 is interesting. He's a beefer with a scoring touch but we'll need to monitor TOI.
#LGRW vs #GoHabsGo
Can Bolduc get a little more TOI? PP1 with only 13:34. I think there's something there.
Emmett Finnie is a surprise skater on L1 with Raymond and Larkin. Watchlist time. Let's see what the former 7th rounder can do.
#Sabrehood vs #NYR
I'm curious how the BUF PP looks with a full-time Norris. He had a great preseason. Also, keep an eye on Benson's TOI. Even with PP2, L1 he could be a premium stream.
Zib looked great for the NYR but that was about it. 7 SOG, 12 iCF, 7 iSCF - Not too shabby
#NHLBruins vs #Blackhawks
Rinzel led all skaters in TOI with 25:18 including 4:18 of PPTOI - He's a full go. Nazar with 1G|1A in over 20 minutes. Both players need to be added.
E. Lindholm looks to have figured things out. L1, PP1.
Arvidsson not so much. Only played 11:49.

I think you could drop Johnston for one of them. As long as you feel confident with the forward value later on in your drafts.

Vasilevskiy leads my dataset for performance on High-Danger shots this past season. I've filtered the list for starting goalies here in 2024-25 to exclude lower sample outliers within the top 10.

Artyom Levshunov vs Sam Rinzel
Which defenseman will be more relevant in fantasy hockey this year?
#nhlblackhawks #chicagoblackhawks #fantasyhockey
Saw some folks talking about what a "fair 8-year extension" for Bedard would be. His down year has got the model confused on term likelihood, but given the sky-high potential, age curve, & cap growth, 12M seems appropriate (which he'll outperform in the final couple years).
