National Hockey League news, stats, opinion, fantasy advice and more.
After a break for the Super Bowl I’m back swimming through NHL stats to construct FanDuel lineups for Sports Jerks.

For most people, Week One was a roller-coaster of emotions. If you stockpiled San Jose Sharks on your squad, you probably have a big lead going into this last day. If you relied on goalies like Jon Quick, Henrik Lundqvist, Jimmy Howard, Mike Smith or Cam Ward (all Tier One goalies, mind you), then you’re
