Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) This week I’m taking another look at skaters who are under the age of 24 and have some “breakout” goal scoring potential. The last time I wrote this type of article I identified Dylan Cozens as a skater to watch (click here to read that article). I got lucky there as DylanContinue reading “Breakout Goal Scorers”

Hello everyone and welcome in for another article. This is the tenth instalment of a weekly article I’ll be writing all season long in which I try to determine the truth about puzzling players. I pull suggestions for which players to write about for these articles from the Apples & Ginos community on Discord andContinue reading “The Truth #10”
#ZeroG to Victory: Week 11 Power Rankings
Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) We have two (!) #ZeroG to Victory graduates this week! Karel Vejmelka and Pyotr Kochetkov have both surpassed 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues. These two were not drafted in most leagues but in the last 30 days they were both in the top 10 goalies in KKUPFL scoring. I hope you pickedContinue reading “#ZeroG to Victory: Week 11 Power Rankings”
Bangers With Benefits
Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) Most fantasy hockey leagues reward more than simply goals and assists. Three “peripheral” stats that typically have some value are shots, hits, and blocks. Today I’m going to look at these three stats and identify which skaters offer an attractive blend of bangs (hits and blocks) with offensive benefits (shots … and therefore maybeContinue reading “Bangers With Benefits”

#ZeroG to Victory: Week 10 Power Rankings
Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) Elvis is alive! Merzlikins returned to the Blue Jackets this week and played in 3 games! Unfortunately he and Korpisalo were victims of Tage Thompson and the Buffalo Sabres going absolutely nuclear in a 9-4 loss. In his most recent appearance he stopped 19 of 20 against the Flames in relief ofContinue reading “#ZeroG to Victory: Week 10 Power Rankings”
Hot And Cold On The Power Play
Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) In this article I’m going to look at some of the leading point scorers in the NHL and ask whether they’re too hot or too cold on the power play. The data for this article was pulled from 2 sources: (1) data for the 2022-2023 season was pulled from Natural Stat Trick andContinue reading “Hot And Cold On The Power Play”

#ZeroG to Victory: Week 9 Power Rankings
Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) Remember when I said it would take a lot for Philipp Grubauer to regain the starting job in Seattle because Martin Jones had been so good? Since I wrote that article, Jones has allowed 16 goals in 3 games. Luckily for Seattle, they also scored 22 goals in those 3 games andContinue reading “#ZeroG to Victory: Week 9 Power Rankings”
Biggest Regression Candidates
Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) In this article I’m going to talk about the skaters who have scored either too many or too few goals during the last 20 team games. WARNING: I’ve got bad news about one of your favourite skaters (probably). I also have some good news. Let’s get into it. The data for this articleContinue reading “Biggest Regression Candidates”
