Ducks Not Entirely Silent

Anaheim, CA—In Anaheim, it’s more of the same: more shots by opponents, more goals by opponents, more highlight moves by Zegras, more pinpoint accuracy of the part of Troy Terry.  And more and different players. Of late, Nikita Nesterenko has made his debut, getting into three games. He scored his first NHL goal on Saturday night versus the Blues.

FANTASY HOCKEY

Fantasy Forward Rankings: 2022-23

It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Connor McDavid tops our fantasy forward rankings for 2022-23. Only 25 years old, he’s got four 100-point seasons under his belt, and if his production continues at a similar pace for another decade, he will almost certainly go down as one of the NHL’s all-time greatest players.

Fantasy Defense Rankings: 2022-23

Fantasy Defense Rankings: 2022-23

It’s hard to imagine a more perfect fantasy defenseman than Cale Makar, who combines elite skating and playmaking skills to consistently deliver point-per-game (or better) production from the blue line. Perhaps most importantly, he plays for an excellent Avalanche team, ensuring that his plus-minus rating should be a help as well.

Fantasy Goalie Rankings: 2022-23

It will be difficult for Igor Shesterkin to top his terrific Vezina Trophy-winning season, but with a young roster jelling in front of him, their improvements could make his job quite a bit easier. In particular, more goal-scoring support could certainly help improve his regular season won-loss record.

HOCKEY HISTORY

Retro Rangers: The Garden’s Cast of Eccentric Characters

Like most NHL teams. the New York Rangers have had their share of eccentric fans. There was Sally Lark, a buxom, platinum blonde, interior decorator from Brooklyn, who was a fixture at the Old Garden during  the 1940s and 1950s. Her seat was directly  adjacent to the penalty box and she was given the nickname “Sin Bin Sally.”
