This season, he’s already shattered his personal best in wins (25) and tied his career high in shutouts. Wedgewood ranks 10th in the NHL in goals saved above expected, and really, since shedding his label as a career backup, he’s exceeded expectations. Consider him a top six Fantasy option down the stretch.

Okay, so Philly wasn’t able to come close to duplicating its 14-win, Super Bowl championship effort from 2024, but that wasn’t a huge shock. And yes, losing in the Wild Card round had to sting after that magical season, but still, a fifth straight playoff appearance is an impressive feat.

Edmonton’s offense is vastly better this season (from 11th to second in goals for), but the defense has plummeted from 14th to 29th. That will desperately need to tighten up if the Oilers have any hope of reaching the Finals again this season, never mind finally winning it all.

The Colorado Rockies made a bit of progress in 2024 (if you can call losing “just” 101 games progress), but last season the bottom really fell out. Colorado barely avoided becoming just the third team since 1900 to lose 120 games. Yikes.

The Vermont Catamounts, the No. 2 seed, are trying to get back to the NCAA Tourney for the fourth time in five years after regressing last season. Vermont enjoyed a slightly better campaign in 2025-26, going 21-11, and should be able to take out NJIT in the semi-finals on Tuesday after bitch-slapping Bryant by 20 points in the quarterfinals.

Having dropped five straight games (and eight of the last 10), Dallas has fallen 2.5 games behind Memphis for 11th place in the West and 8.5 games behind the final spot in the play-in tournament, all but ensuring a second straight season out of the postseason.

Newhook has never been very good at faceoffs, but has gotten even worse the last couple of seasons, and that raises questions about his ability to stay at centre long-term, but for now let’s revel in his production, made all the more impressive by a reduction in PT over the last couple of seasons.

With a goal and two helpers on Saturday, Gostisbehere snapped a three-game drought, finishing February with five points in five games (and six points over the last eight) after potting five goals in just nine games in January. He already has more goals than he did all of last season, reaching double digits for the sixth time in his career.

Yes, he scuffled in back-to-back games and then missed the final two after suffering a helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 16. But his strong effort in the playoff game, which included four TDs and zero picks, capped a strong campaign which included more completions, a better completion rate and a significant reduction in interceptions compared to 2024.

Duke went 35-4 in 2024-25, going all the way to the Final Four before bowing out, and this season the Blue Devils are even better with 25 wins and just two losses as we head into the home stretch. They've won four straight and 14 of 15.
