Week 7 has a potential landmine 14-game Saturday slate that you need to avoid.

Nate breaks down everything you need to win your fantasy hockey matchup this week, including the best schedules to attack, teams to avoid, top streaming options for points and peripherals, and the players worth adding before the rest of your league catches on.

Nashville leads the way with FOUR off-night games, while the Rangers, Canucks, and Sharks also offer some excellent streaming opportunities. We’re talking Jonathan Marchessault, Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye, Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, Victor Olofsson, and plenty more.

Plus: who should you be dropping from bad schedules? Which low-rostered players are becoming legitimate long-term holds? And who survives this week’s Streamer Deathmatch?

🍎 IN THIS EPISODE:

1:37 — Newsies

5:56 — Schedule Attack: Week 6

7:45 — Lowered Expectations: Worst Teams to Stream

13:07 — Crossing the Streams: Best Teams to Stream

Blake is back with five fantasy hockey players whose value may be peaking right now.

Mark Stone, Seth Jones, Vasily Podkolzin, Jack Quinn and Artturi Lehkonen are all producing — but that doesn’t necessarily mean you should just sit back and enjoy the ride.

We dig into the underlying numbers, deployment, power-play usage and sustainability behind each player’s hot start, then look at the kinds of players you might be able to target in a deal.

Selling high doesn’t mean selling bad players. It means recognizing when perceived value may be running ahead of expected value and seeing if you can make your roster just a little bit better.

No panic moves. No wholesale changes. Just stacking small wins wherever we can.

The fantasy hockey season is still young, which means slow starts can create some major buying opportunities.

Blake breaks down 5 players he’s actively trying to buy low on right now: Adrian Kempe, Lucas Raymond, Gabriel Vilardi, Wyatt Johnston and Brayden Point.

We’re looking past the box scores at deployment, power-play usage, shooting efficiency, underlying metrics and team environment to figure out which struggling players are poised to turn things around.

Blake also gives potential trade examples for each player so you can start sending offers before the buy-low window closes.

It’s time to take advantage of some nervous fantasy managers. Let’s get to BIZ!

The final ADP Battle of draft season is here, and we brought in the FINAL BOSS.

Matt Larkin of Daily Faceoff joins Blake to debate some of the toughest decisions on the Yahoo draft board using standard category scoring.

We battle:

⚔️ Evan Bouchard vs Zach Werenski
⚔️ Cole Caufield vs Cutter Gauthier
⚔️ Leo Carlsson vs Aleksander Barkov
⚔️ Adam Fantilli vs Dylan Cozens
⚔️ Brandon Bussi vs Spencer Knight — Zero G Round
⚔️ Zeev Buium vs Zayne Parekh — Sleeper Round

We break down projections, deployment, power-play opportunity, peripherals, breakout potential and where we'd actually make the pick.

One last battle before puck drop.

Let the battle BEGIN. Let's get to BIZ!

The left wing position is LOADED, and ranking these guys was no easy task!

Blake and Nate combine their individual rankings to reveal the Top 10 Left Wingers for 2026-27 fantasy hockey in both Points and Category leagues.

Kaprizov or Robertson at #1? How high should Kyle Connor go? Can Cutter Gauthier build on his breakout? Does Dylan Holloway have a nuclear season coming? And could Brady Tkachuk be the most valuable LW in Categories despite a new role in Florida?

We break down the projections, upside, consistency and peripheral production behind every ranking, including some major differences between the two formats.

Know your settings, trust your projections, and draft accordingly.

Did we get the rankings right? Let us know who we missed! Let's get to BIZ!

The final chapter of HIDDEN GEMS is here! 💎

Blake and Louis Boulet of LB-Hockey wrap up their four-part series with eight under-the-radar players from the Pacific Division who could make some serious fantasy noise in 2026-27.

We're digging beyond the box score to explore the underlying numbers, training-camp deployment, power-play opportunities and specific circumstances that could unlock each player's fantasy value.

This episode features:

🏒 Beckett Sennecke (ANA) — Elite transition ability and a potential sophomore explosion alongside Leo Carlsson.

🏒 Matvei Gridin (CGY) — A confident young scorer getting a legitimate top-six and PP1 opportunity.

🏒 Matt Savoie (EDM) — A strong finish to his rookie season, with an injury complicating his immediate breakout path.

🏒 Alex Laferriere (LAK) — An absolute category-league DAWG with 200+ shots, 250+ hits and outstanding scoring-chance generation.

🏒 Mason Marchment (SJS) — Could playing alongside Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith unlock another level offensively?

🏒 Mackie Samoskevich (SEA) — Excellent underlying shot and chance generation with a fresh opportunity in Seattle.

🏒 Marco Rossi (VAN) — A proven 60-point player looking to bounce back after an injury-plagued season.

🏒 Braeden Bowman (VGK) — A young forward with organizational support and an opportunity to establish a larger role in Vegas.

These aren't all players you need to draft today. They're players you need to know before the opportunity arrives.

Eight teams. Eight Hidden Gems. The Pacific Division.

Let's get to BIZ!

Who are the best right wingers in fantasy hockey for 2026-27? And how much does your scoring format change the answer?

Blake breaks down the official Apples & Ginos Top 10 RW rankings for both Points and Category leagues, diving into our projections, player upside, and the stats that separate the elite from the rest.

Kucherov vs. Pastrnak. Boldy vs. Nečas. Nylander vs. Rantanen. Plus, why Tom Wilson becomes a monster in bangers leagues, how much regression to expect from Cole Caufield, and whether Dylan Guenther is ready to take another leap.

We also cover our honourable mentions, including Adrian Kempe and Mitch Marner.

Two formats. Two rankings. One goal: helping you dominate your fantasy hockey draft. Let's get to BIZ!

Hidden Gems is back for Part 3, and we're heading into the Central Division! 💎

Blake is joined once again by Louis Boulet of LB-Hockey to uncover eight players who might not be obvious fantasy hockey draft targets, but have the underlying skills and potential opportunities to become seriously interesting in 2026-27.

With training camp underway, we're looking beyond the box score to explore current line combinations, power-play deployment, microstats and the specific circumstances that could unlock each player's fantasy value.

This episode features:

🏒 Frank Nazar (CHI) — Elite transition ability and a potential breakout opportunity alongside Patrick Kane.

🏒 Sam Malinski (COL) — A 40-point defenseman who produced almost entirely without power-play minutes.

🏒 Justin Hryckowian (DAL) — A forechecking and defensive monster whose offensive upside depends on deployment.

🏒 Bobby Brink (MIN) — A sneaky playmaker who could thrive alongside Minnesota's elite offensive talent.

🏒 Mavrik Bourque (NSH) — A fresh start, a six-year contract and an opportunity to centre Filip Forsberg.

🏒 Connor McMichael (STL) — Can a new environment help him rediscover his 26-goal scoring touch?

🏒 Michael Carcone (UTA) — Outstanding per-minute offensive numbers trapped in a limited role.

🏒 Cole Perfetti (WPG) — A healthy offseason and a potential top-line, PP1 opportunity alongside Winnipeg's biggest stars.

These aren't all players you need to draft today. They're players you need to know before the opportunity arrives.

Eight teams. Eight Hidden Gems. Plenty of fantasy upside.

STOP overpaying for players in your fantasy hockey drafts!

Blake breaks down 5 reaches and 5 values on EACH of Yahoo, ESPN and Fantrax, using the Apples & Ginos projections to expose overpriced picks and uncover potential draft-day steals.

Why is Jack Hughes falling so far on ESPN? Is the Porter Martone hype getting out of control? And how are players like Dylan Holloway, Andrei Svechnikov and Brayden Point available at these prices?

Different platforms. Different draft rooms. Different opportunities.

It’s time for another ADP Battle.

Blake is joined by Josh, co-host of the Banger Management Fantasy Hockey Podcast, to go head-to-head on six difficult decisions for 2026-27 fantasy hockey drafts.

The concept is simple: two players going in a similar range, two sides to the debate. Who would you draft — and why?

This time we’re looking through the lens of a Bangers Categories League counting Goals, Assists, Hits, Blocks, Power-Play Points and Shots on Goal.

🥊 Jack Hughes vs. Jason Robertson
🥊 Matthew Schaefer vs. Lane Hutson
🥊 Andrei Svechnikov vs. Juraj Slafkovsky
🥊 Logan Cooley vs. Porter Martone
🥊 Alex Laferriere vs. Will Cuylle
🥊 Jakub Dobeš vs. Jet Greaves

Blake and Josh use projections, category coverage, role, upside and roster construction to make the case for their side of every battle.

Some of these are close. Some… not so much.

Who would YOU take? Let's get to BIZ!

Blake breaks down the Top 10 fantasy hockey defencemen for 2026-27 in both Points leagues and Category leagues.

The rankings aren’t identical, and that’s the point. We look at how goals, assists, power-play production, shots, hits and blocks change the value of players like Cale Makar, Zach Werenski, Evan Bouchard, Quinn Hughes, Rasmus Dahlin, Matthew Schaefer and more.

We also dig into why some defencemen rise in category formats, why others are better suited to points scoring.

If you’re preparing for a 2026-27 fantasy hockey draft, this is your quick guide to the blue liners worth prioritizing.

The Hidden Gems series rolls into the Metropolitan Division.

Blake is joined once again by Louis Boulet of LB-Hockey to break down eight players who may not be obvious fantasy hockey draft targets right now, but have something under the hood worth paying attention to. We’re digging into the microstats, skill sets, deployment questions and specific fantasy triggers that could turn these names into legitimate assets.

This episode features:

• Kent Johnson — CBJ: Can the skill and transition game re-emerge after a nightmare 22-point season?
• Logan Stankoven — CAR: An elite underlying profile playing on one of hockey’s best 5v5 lines.
• Arseny Gritsyuk — NJD: Speed, controlled entries, rush creation and relentless forechecking, even if the immediate top-six path has become murkier.
• Emil Heineman — NYI: An elite one-timer, strong finishing profile and 247 hits make him a fascinating category-league option.
• Gabe Perreault — NYR: A cerebral playmaker whose patience and passing could help replace some of New York’s lost offensive creativity.
• Tyson Foerster — PHI: A legitimate goal scorer who could take another step if the shots and PP1 opportunity arrive.
• Tommy Novak — PIT: Top-six-looking transition and creation numbers trapped inside a 14-minute, PP2 role.
• Ryan Leonard — WSH: Heavy shot, interior offence, physicality and a fantasy toolkit that could force its way up the depth chart.

These aren’t all sleepers, and we’re not telling you to draft every one of them. The goal is to know the names before the opportunity arrives.

Who has the best chance to make the leap this season?

Let’s get to BIZ.

ADP Battles are back!

Blake kicks off our annual 4-part series with Elan Dubrofsky from the Keeping Karlsson Fantasy Hockey Podcast to tackle some of the toughest decisions you’ll face on draft day.

The premise is simple: two players being drafted around the same ADP, one pick. Who are you taking?

This episode’s battles:

• Leon Draisaitl vs. Macklin Celebrini
• Tim Stützle vs. Clayton Keller
• Brandt Clarke vs. Mikhail Sergachev
• Ivan Demidov vs. Jimmy Snuggerud
• Linus Ullmark vs. Jesper Wallstedt in the ZeroG Round
• Matt Coronato vs. Cole Perfetti in the Sleeper Round

Blake and Elan dig into projections, deployment, power-play roles, peripheral production, team environment, upside and risk to figure out which side they’re taking in each matchup.

Some are easy. Some are painful. And there may be a few disagreements along the way.

Let the Battle BEGIN.

Stay tuned for three more ADP Battles with some of the best minds in the fantasy hockey BIZ as we get you ready for your 2026-27 drafts.

Finding a sleeper isn’t only about chasing the perfect breakout. The best late-round targets also provide enough of a floor that your pick won’t become a complete whiff if everything doesn’t go according to plan.

In this episode, we reveal 10 fantasy hockey sleepers who possess the underlying process, opportunity and upside to significantly outperform their 2026-27 draft positions.

We break down:

• Quinton Byfield’s post-Kopitar opportunity under Peter Laviolette

• Anton Frondell’s immediate role while Connor Bedard is sidelined

• Alexis Lafrenière’s path to PP1 without Artemi Panarin

• Matt Coronato’s outstanding microstat profile

• Egor Chinakhov’s breakout potential in Pittsburgh

• JJ Peterka’s upside alongside David Pastrnak

• Luke Hughes’ bounce-back case in New Jersey

• Why the Summer of Matvei Michkov is officially underway

• Viktor Arvidsson’s reunion with Todd McLellan

• Jackson Blake’s opportunity to replace Seth Jarvis on Carolina’s PP1

Which sleepers provide legitimate league-winning upside—and which still return value if their best-case scenarios don’t materialize?

Byfield - 02:56

Frondell - 10:30

Lafrenière - 14:52

#FantasyHockey #NHLFantasy #HockeyAdvice #WaiverWire #NHL #FantasyHockeyTips #ApplesAndGinos

The Hidden Gems series is back.

Blake is joined by friend of the show Louis Boulet of LB-Hockey to dig into eight Atlantic Division players who may not be obvious fantasy draft targets right now, but absolutely deserve to be on your radar.

We break down what the underlying data says, where the opportunity could come from, and what would need to happen for each player to become genuinely fantasy relevant.

This episode features:

Oliver Kapanen — MTL
Marco Kasper — DET
JJ Peterka — BOS
Jordan Spence — OTT
Dominic James — TBL
Josh Doan — BUF
Brad Marchand — FLA
Jack Roslovic — TOR

From Kapanen’s potential fit with Ivan Demidov, to Kasper’s rebound case, Peterka’s move to Boston, Spence’s hidden offensive ceiling, Dominic James’ transition numbers, Josh Doan’s chaos game, Marchand continuing to defy Father Time, and Roslovic potentially landing beside Auston Matthews — there is a lot bubbling under the surface in the Atlantic.

These aren’t necessarily sleepers. They’re players of interest — names to keep on your watchlist before the rest of your league catches up.

The 2026-27 Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey Draft Guide is also available now, featuring 230 pages of team previews, projections, sleepers, injury analysis, draft strategy and more.

And there’s still time to join the APL before the season gets underway.

Let’s get to BIZ.

The finish line is here. Nate and Blake wrap up the annual Apples & Ginos projections series with the final four teams: the Vancouver Canucks, Vegas Golden Knights, Washington Capitals and Winnipeg Jets.

They break down every fantasy-relevant player on each roster, including projected lines, power-play deployment, coaching changes, offseason additions and departures, projection disagreements and their favourite draft targets.

Can Manny Malhotra get Elias Pettersson and Vancouver back on track? Is Zeev Buium ready to take over PP1? What changes under Ryan Craig in Vegas, and how high can Jack Eichel, Mitch Marner and Shea Theodore climb? Washington suddenly has one of the deepest forward groups in hockey — but who actually gets the premium deployment? And in Winnipeg, are Cole Perfetti and Gabriel Vilardi being overlooked behind the established stars?

Eight episodes. All 32 NHL teams. The projections are officially complete.

Next stop: draft season. Let's get to BIZ!

Ryan and Evan are on the mic for a deep dive into one of fantasy hockey’s trickiest questions: are injuries actually predictable, or are we just building narratives after the fact?They break down the difference between chronic injury concerns and plain bad luck, how much weight fantasy managers should put on recent games played, and why IR+ can completely change the value equation by allowing you to replace injured production from the waiver wire.Then they put the theory to the test with some of fantasy hockey’s biggest injury-risk names, including Jack Hughes, Jack Eichel, Auston Matthews, Leon Draisaitl, Mark Stone, Matthew Tkachuk, Shea Theodore and Dylan Holloway. Which players have legitimate recurring concerns? Which injury histories are mostly a collection of unrelated events? And where is the market potentially discounting players too heavily because of the “injury-prone” label?It’s data, history and risk — with the injury narrative put under the microscope.
