Welcome to the Fantasy Hockey Forecaster! In here, you’ll find:
- Each team’s ranking for goalies, forwards, PK and PP against the other teams in the league. These stats are as of 11/21/2019 (there is no separation for home vs. away since the season is so young).
- Three players who are on fire (this might not even be points wise, it might be an uptick in play that signals to me they are on the cusp of some point production
- Three players who are cooling off (this will also include players that aren’t materializing the way we expect).
- Three free agent pickups (among all players under 50% owned, preferably some in the single digits and some that are close to 50 to feed all different sizes of leagues.
- The schedule which will show each team they play and what the individual rankings are for each matchup, this is more useful in the daily leagues where you are looking at individual matchups
Let’s begin!

3 players who are on fire
- Nathan MacKinnon (100% owned). Nine points in his last four games including a +4 rating, two PPP, six hits and three blocked shots. MVP Caliber stats there.
- Logan Couture (88% owned). Seven points across his last four games including a power player point, a short handed point, seven hits and three blocked shots.
- Carey Price (99% owned) He is playing pretty pretty pretty pretty well. Five wins in his last six starts with 15 goals against over that time.
3 players who are cooling off (not panicking on any of them)
- Johnny Gaudreau (99% owned). He is -10 across his last five games with just one assist.
- Sean Moynihan & Elias Lindholm (89 & 94% owned) I’m not letting the other part of this line off the hook. They are a combined -14 with 1 goal over the last five games.
- Injuries get us all – The game is currently without Mitch Marner, Sidney Crosby, Vladimir Tarasenko, Gabriel Landeskog, Mikko Rantanen and Nikita Kucherov. Ouch.
3 free agent pickups (under 50%)
- Morgan Frost (1% owned) – In his first NHL game he had a beauty of a backhand top shelf goal. He’s currently on the Flyers top line.
- Derick Brassard (18% owned). He now has eight points in his last four games including three power play points and 14 hits.
- Corey Crawford (41% owned). As the Blackhawks have been playing well so has Corey with three wins in his last four and just 8 goals allowed over that time.
