There are a pair groups making stunning runs to get again into the playoff race. Essentially the most stunning to me, by far, is the Flyers. In an enormous showdown with Detroit on Saturday, the Flyers stomped them early and held on for the win. Owen Tippett stole the present with a hat trick and an help with seven photographs. He had two photographs within the 2-1 OT win over the Stars, placing Philly two factors out of the playoffs, albeit shedding the tiebreaker to each staff in entrance of them. Philly has a bunch of video games this week in opposition to their direct competitors, so anticipate Tocchet to lean on their studs. There are solely two video games on Friday, so Tippett has an actual case to be held. Let’s check out what else occurred over the weekend:
Friday’s Video games:
Dylan Garand – 27 saves on 28 photographs within the 6-1 win over Chicago. With the Rangers out of it, Garand is getting a glance. He ought to be Igor’s backup subsequent season and is among the greatest goalie prospects. He’s one to control for the long run, presumably as a commerce piece for New York. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
J.T. Miller – Purpose and two assists with 5 photographs. We all know what Miller is able to, however more often than not, he’s loafing on the market. I see him as extra of a streamer in 12’ers in the mean time.
Jonny Brodzinski – Two targets on three photographs. Nothing to see right here.
Alex DeBrincat – Purpose and two assists with 4 photographs. It’s the perfect full season of DeBrincat’s profession. Whereas I wouldn’t fairly anticipate this stage once more subsequent season, he’s confirmed to be a high 50 participant.
Patrick Kane – Purpose and an help with two photographs. Twelve factors in Kane’s final ten video games as he tries to get Detroit into the playoffs. Simple maintain all over the place whereas he’s on this tear.
Moritz Seider – Two assists with a shot. Seider has already reached profession highs in targets and assists. He’s develop into a stable #2 in 12’ers that aren’t banger leagues, and a transparent #1 along with his hits and blocks contributions.
Saturday’s Video games:
Emil Lilleberg – Purpose and two assists with two PIM. No Kucherov or Hedman, no drawback on Saturday. Lilleberg supplies little or no to fantasy, regardless of this big efficiency.
Brandon Hagel – Purpose and an help with three photographs. What an absolute monster Hagel has develop into. Full blown famous person.
Charle-Edouard D’Astous – Purpose and an help. D’Astous has 5 factors in his final three video games, so if you wish to experience the new hand, go for it.
Matthew Tkachuk – Two targets on 4 photographs. It’s merely a matter of well being for Tkachuk. If he can handle to play 70+ video games subsequent season, he ought to return high 25 worth.
Brayden Schenn – Purpose and two assists with 5 photographs. I’m bumping Schenn as much as stable streamer as he will get an enormous workload from Roy.
Marc Gatcomb – Purpose and an help. Gatcomb will get a ton of hits, however he has solely 6 factors in 42 video games counting these two factors. Nothing right here. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Matthew Schaefer – Two assists with 5 photographs. Is he a high 5 defenseman subsequent season already? He has to not less than be thought of in that vary. Does he also have a ceiling at this level?
John Carlson – Two assists with 4 photographs and 6 blocks, enjoying over 28 minutes. Protected to say that Carlson has develop into the 1A to LaCombe’s 1B in Anaheim.
Connor McDavid – Purpose and two assists with six photographs. Zach Hyman had a objective and an help, whereas Evan Bouchard dished two assists, including 5 photographs. McDavid is carrying Edmonton into the playoffs. It doesn’t matter what spot they end in, they’re most likely the favourite within the Pacific bracket. It relies upon how bullish you’re on the Mammoth.
Igor Chernyshov – Two targets on three photographs. The highest line for the Sharks got here by way of, as Macklin Celebrini had a objective and an help, whereas Will Smith had two assists. Cherynshov has 14 factors in 19 video games this season. The primary choose within the second spherical within the Celebrini draft, Cherynshov ought to be a preferred sleeper for subsequent season. For now, he’s a stable streamer.
Mavrik Bourque – Two targets and an help. He hasn’t taken an enormous bounce this season, however we’re seeing indicators from Bourque regularly now. That he performed over 19 minutes with Mikko Rantanen (1+1) returning exhibits that Bourque has stable streamer worth the remainder of the best way, assuming he stays with Jason Robertson (1+1, 5 SOG).
Jamie Benn – Two assists with a shot and two PIM. The shot fee has cratered, however Benn has put up extra factors than I anticipated this season. Middling to stable streamer.
Erik Karlsson – Purpose and two assists. We haven’t seen a run like this from a defenseman in years. Eighteen factors in his final ten video games, together with seven multi-point video games! Full credit score to Karlsson for the bounce again.
Taylor Corridor – Two assists with 4 photographs and two PIM. Middling streamer.
Shayne Gostisbehere – Purpose and an help with two photographs and two PIM in his return. Accidents are the one factor that’s stopped Ghost this 12 months. He’s pushing a degree per recreation.
Nikolaj Ehlers – Purpose and an help with two photographs. It’s hilarious that after his atrocious begin, Ehlers nonetheless has an excellent likelihood of setting a profession excessive in factors.
Mats Zuccarello – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs and two PIM. Zucc is on the perimeter proper now. He’s most likely price holding, however we’re to the purpose the place we have to maximize begins. If you might want to lower somebody from a streamer, Zucc is ok.
Ryan Hartman – Purpose and an help with three photographs. Good end to the season for Hartman. So long as he’s with Kaprizov, Hartman is a stable streamer.
Quinn Hughes – Two assists with three photographs enjoying over 31 minutes. Contemplating that Minnesota is just about locked into their spot, it’s loopy to see Hughes get this workload. Fantasy homeowners like it although!
Casey Mittelstadt – Three assists with a shot. Good little stretch from Mittelstadt, however the shot fee is so dreadful that he can’t get previous middling streamer.
Pavel Zacha – Two targets on 4 photographs. Whereas Zacha has been excellent this season, 22% taking pictures is the primary issue. Whereas he received’t be regressing this season as the top is right here, it’s going to come back subsequent 12 months.
Viktor Arvidsson – Purpose and an help with two photographs. He’s not the participant he was in Nashville or Los Angeles earlier than the harm, however Arvidsson has bounced again properly from a dreadful 12 months in Edmonton. Stable streamer.
Bobby McMann – Purpose and an help with three photographs. The road had a 3 level objective on each targets, as Chandler Stephenson had 1+1 and Kaapo Kakko had two assists. McMann is on a god run in Seattle with 7+4 in eight video games. Simple maintain all over the place and it looks as if the perfect case for him in free company is to remain in Seattle.
Jacob Fowler – 23 saves on 24 photographs within the 4-1 win over the Predators. Fowler has been getting a couple of recreation per week proper now and has been stable total. The 21 12 months outdated continues to be the doubtless goalie of the longer term for Montreal, making him a high dynasty asset.
Ivan Demidov – Purpose and an help with two photographs. The present second line for Montreal all had two factors, as Alex Newhook and Oliver Kapanen additionally had a objective and an help every. Whereas the shot fee isn’t there, Demidov has proven that he generally is a large contributor. Level per recreation subsequent season already wouldn’t shock me. Newhook has been excellent when wholesome. It’s good to see him get his profession again on monitor. He’s a middling streamer. I actually like what Kapanen has executed as a rookie. That mentioned, I do suppose Montreal brings any person in over him in the summertime and places Kapanen as their 3C. I’m barely skeptical of his fantasy worth sooner or later.
Jordan Binnington – 12 saves on 13 photographs within the 5-1 win over Toronto. The Blues being the most popular staff within the league is hilarious. Their goalies tanked their season, and now each are enjoying very nicely. Hofer is the highest man in the mean time, however Binnington continues to be a tremendous streamer.
Robert Thomas – Two assists with a shot. That is the Thomas that we’re used to. He has 15 factors in 12 video games in March.
Jordan Kyrou – Two assists with a shot. Kyrou is among the greatest disappointments this season. After three straight 30+ objective seasons, he may not break 20. Middling streamer.
Dylan Holloway – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs. Holloway is a simple maintain all over the place in the mean time. He has eleven factors in his final ten video games and an elite shot fee.
Jake Neighbours – Two assists with two photographs. Though the staff has been rolling, Neighbours has been ice chilly. Backside finish to middling streamer in the intervening time.
Gabe Vilardi – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs. Vilardi’s numbers are just about equivalent to final season. He’s a backside finish maintain.
Travis Konecny – Two assists with two photographs. Philly is attempting to sneak their approach into the playoff image, however Konecny has truly been chilly. We’re nonetheless holding although.
Jamie Drysdale – Two assists with two photographs and two PIM. The factors are respectable sufficient to get him near the perimeter, however my long run expectations for Drysdale have been tempered.
Moritz Seider – Two assists with 5 photographs. Patrick Kane additionally had two assists because the Crimson Wings made a late comeback solely to finally fall brief. See Seider underneath Friday’s video games.
Adrian Kempe – Purpose and an help. It’s been a small stepback for Kempe pushed by a small drop in shot fee. Total, his worth is much like standard.
Mikhail Sergachev – 4 assists with a shot. All of your assists are belong to Sergachev currently! Seven assists in his final two video games, and eleven in his final 9. He’s a middling to backside finish #2 in 12’ers.
Alexander Kerfoot – Two targets. I’ll be trustworthy, I form of forgot about Kerfoot as a result of he was out so lengthy attributable to harm. He’s getting fourth line minutes proper now so regardless of a flurry of factors, it’s onerous to get him above backside finish streamer.
Logan Cooley – Two targets on three photographs. What a weird season for Cooley, who’s scoring at a wonderful fee, however his assists have plummeted. I’m nonetheless very bullish in the long run.
Clayton Keller – Two assists with two photographs. Keller’s taking pictures share is the bottom it’s been since 2019-20, which is the one purpose his targets are barely down. He’s a mannequin of consistency at this level in his profession.
Elias Pettersson – Two assists with a shot. I can’t think about utilizing another Canucks ahead proper now, however I don’t actually need to use Pettersson both. This staff is a dumpster fireplace.
Morgan Frost – Purpose and two assists, as did Matt Coronato. This recreation exhibits extra concerning the Canucks than something concerning the Flames. Calgary has been enjoying higher, however I’m not too fascinated with anybody on their staff moreover their goalies.
Zayne Parekh – Purpose and an help with two photographs and two PIM. Parekh is beginning to present some indicators now that Calgary is giving him common ice time. I stay a giant fan long run and suppose we may see it as quickly as subsequent season.
Justin Sourdif – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs. Good rookie 12 months for Sourdif. Backside finish streamer for now, and I’m undecided if it will get any higher long run, however he’s a pleasant depth addition for the Caps.
Cole Hutson – Two assists with two photographs. I’m no scouting professional, however it blows my thoughts that Hutson went within the second spherical after what his brother was already displaying. I’ve picked up Hutson in a ten’er and enjoying him, so it’s fairly clear I feel he ought to be held all over the place. Long run, I’m undecided how excessive the upside is, however the 19 12 months outdated seems to be like he belongs already. Welcome to the Razzball Database!
Jack Eichel – Purpose and two assists with two photographs. Good to see a giant recreation from Eichel after he lately snapped a six recreation pointless streak. His totals are on a extra cheap tempo now.
Rasmus Andersson – Purpose and an help with two photographs and two PIM. To be blunt, Andersson has been terrible for the Golden Knights. I laughed once they used him within the shootout on this recreation. I wouldn’t use him outdoors of deep leagues.
Sunday’s Video games:
Igor Shesterkin – 26 saves on 27 photographs within the 3-1 win over the Panthers. The Rangers season was torpedoed as a result of Igor and Adam Fox (1+1, 3 SOG, 4 BLK) had been damage for an prolonged interval. Each of them will likely be ranked proper again the place they had been going into this season, though there’s a good likelihood Fox’s worth may swing if he’s traded.
Viktor Arvidsson – Three assists with three photographs. Insane comeback by Boston as Columbus blows one other recreation late. Pavel Zacha had two targets and an help with 5 photographs. I lined each above.
Charlie McAvoy – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs and two PIM. This has simply been McAvoy’s greatest season. Stable #2 in 12’ers regardless of the poor shot fee.
Mason Marchment – Purpose and an help. Marchment is a stable streamer as he continues to do nicely since being traded to the Blue Jackets.
Kirill Marchenko – Two assists with a shot. He’s cooled off a bit currently, however Marchenko is a transparent maintain all over the place.
Filip Forsberg – Purpose and an help with 4 photographs. It looks like Forsberg has been disappointing, however right here he’s sitting with 34+33 and over three photographs per recreation. Search for an enormous workload because the Preds attempt to maintain onto the final playoff spot.
Jake Guentzel – Purpose and two assists with three photographs and two PIM. Guentzel has scored in six of his final seven video games as he offers himself an opportunity for a brand new profession excessive in factors.
Jakub Dobes – 34 saves on 35 photographs within the 3-1 win over the Hurricanes. Dobes has given up two targets or much less in 5 straight begins. It’s clear that he’s the #1 proper now so regardless that the totality of his numbers aren’t nice, Dobes ought to be held all over the place.
Nick Suzuki – Two targets and an help with 5 photographs and two PIM. I form of figured Suzuki would have stayed within the 80-90 level vary, however he’s bought a shot at 100 factors. Demidov’s energy play capability has helped, however Suzuki has been dominant at even power.
Cole Caufield – Purpose and an help with three photographs. Predicting an enormous season from Caufield in my ten daring predictions actually panned out. He’s truly second within the league in targets behind MacKinnon.
Lane Hutson – Two assists. All of your assists are belong to Hutson!
Samuel Ersson – 17 saves on 18 photographs within the 2-1 OT win over Dallas. He’s been good currently, however streaming Ersson is a giant danger. Vladar ought to get the vast majority of begins anyhow.
Frank Nazar – Two targets on seven photographs. We’re seeing the flashes, however Nazar hasn’t fairly put it collectively but. That mentioned, a breakout subsequent season is firmly in play.
Anton Frondell – Two assists with three photographs. The previous third total choose has 4 assists in 4 video games since he debuted. He’s a tremendous streamer proper now with an clearly excessive ceiling in the long run.
Jack Hughes – Two targets and two assists with eight photographs. Hughes has established himself as a 100ish level participant per 82 video games. The issue is he hasn’t managed to remain wholesome. If he does, he’ll simply be a high 10 participant.
Nico Hischier – Two assists with two photographs. Tough 12 months for Hischier, however I’ll say it once more: I’m throwing this season out for many of the Devils. I firmly anticipate Hischier’s factors to return up.
That’s all for now guys. Can’t wait to see Torts behind the bench once more on Monday! Loopy that Vegas made this transfer. I’ll be again on Friday recapping the motion from the 2 days earlier than. MarmosDad will likely be again on Wednesday so make sure you look out for his submit. As all the time, be happy to ask any questions, go away any coments, or give any options beneath. Thanks for studying, take care!
