Rangers, Stars’ playoff chances; Zibanejad’s resurgence; Talbot’s success

NHL Fantasy on Ice

Pete and Rob catch up on everything fantasy and hockey betting after a big Thursday night in the NHL. The guys discuss the booming fantasy stock of the Rangers after another six-point game for Mika Zibanejad and how the return of goalie Igor Shesterkin could take them to another level. The guys touch on the Wild’s goalie situation after Cam Talbot started and won both games in their back-to-back set and the rising value of Juuse Saros of the Predators, Jack Campbell of the Maple Leafs and Martin Jones of the Sharks. The guys weigh whether Carter Hart of the Flyers is worth dropping in all formats, the Penguins’ injury concerns and if the Stars will make a run for the playoffs in the Discover Central Division. Other players discussed in this episode include Tuukka Rask (injured again Thursday), David Krejci, Roope Hintz, Alex Nedeljkovic, Joonas Donskoi, Andrew Copp, Ilya Sorokin, Vitali Kravtsov, Sean Monahan and more. The guys also talk about their recent waiver wire pickups and preview the Friday slate.
