Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) We may finally be able to close the book on the Oilers goaltending conversation (at least for now), not only because Stuart Skinner is now more than 50% rostered in Yahoo leagues and has graduated from the #ZeroG power rankings, but also because he’s started 3 straight games. With the price tagContinue reading “#ZeroG to Victory: Week 7 Power Rankings”

Who’s Getting More Time-On-Ice?
Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) This week I’m looking at skaters who are getting a bump in Time-On-Ice (“TOI”). Stating the obvious here: more TOI means more opportunities to register the counting stats that we want in fantasy hockey. The data for this article were pulled from Natural Stat Trick and include games played on or before NovemberContinue reading “Who’s Getting More Time-On-Ice?”

#ZeroG to Victory: Week 6 Power Rankings
Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) I hope you all got your Martin Jones adds in last week because he is our most recent #ZeroG power rankings graduate. He’s now 59% rostered in Yahoo leagues.

My approach relies on something I call individual expected goal differential, or “ixGd”. Not sure what that is? No problem – it’s all explained below. Note: the raw data used forContinue reading “Early Season Hot And Cold Goal Scorers”

#ZeroG to Victory: Week 5 Power Rankings
Josh Hutchinson (@JustJoshin41) Injury reports are the name of the game going into week 5. Not just because of the goalies that are getting injured, but also because of the goalies that are returning from injury. Cam Talbot is back earlier than expected and has performed well in 2 games (one in relief of AntonContinue reading “#ZeroG to Victory: Week 5 Power Rankings”
The Rise And Fall Of Shot Blockers
Mark Barbour (@18sktrs, patreon.com/18skaters) In my first few articles here at Apples & Ginos I’ve been looking at how the statistics that are relevant to fantasy hockey are distributed among NHL skaters based on age. This type of analysis can be helpful when projecting future skater performance. We can use it to identify skaters whoContinue reading “The Rise And Fall Of Shot Blockers”
