About this episode
Pete and Nick are joined by guest Matt Larkin from Daily Faceoff to go around the NHL and discuss all the biggest fantasy storylines and trends. The guys lead off with the fantasy ripple effect of Tage Thompson's five-goal game on his Sabres teammates like Dylan Cozens and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Thompson's outside Hart Trophy chances if the Sabres make the Stanley Cup Playoffs. They also react to Nathan MacKinnon's injury with in-house and outside replacement options, including J.T. Compher and Alex Newhook from the Avalanche, Kevin Hayes of the Flyers, Andrew Copp of the Red Wings and more. Other players and topics covered include Dylan Strome's staying power for the Capitals, whether to add Cozens and drop more-proven players like Claude Giroux, Anze Kopitar or Vincent Trocheck, Valeri Nichushkin nearing a return for Colorado, Dan Vladar's strong play for the Flames, the best landing spot for Patrick Kane and the trade rumblings surrounding Brock Boeser. NHL Fantasy on Ice is presented by SKIP, the official food delivery app of the NHL!
