What's up, champs? Welcome to another episode of the Short Shifts Fantasy Hockey Podcast brought to you by Keeping Carlson. I'm your host, Louis Ezekiel, joining you here on this fine, fine Tuesday evening. Hopefully, many of you are involved in your fantasy hockey playoffs this week. Uh, for those playing in the Keeping Carlson Ultimate Patron Fantasy League, good luck whether you are Are in the uh playoffs in the consolation bracket. Uh make sure that you are doing all you can to win because your games have serious implications for your tier next year. Don't forget, uh, there are players who, you know, we always have some attrition among our GMs. So you've always got a chance to move up as long as you finish as best you can.
Really happy to come at you. Uh, if you are in the playoffs right now in whatever league you are in, I hope it's going well for you. If you're getting ready to start next week, uh wishing you the best there as well. But let's get right to the biggest story of the day. Uh, and that of course is the injury to Leon Dreisidel. Uh Ozzy Wiseblatt may have never bitten the head off a bat, but he is the Prince of Darkness to Oilers fans today, uh, after he hit Dry Seidel. After Dry had just about three minutes of ice time, uh, he left the game and is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season after sustaining a lower body injury on that hit. Uh obviously this is one of those injuries that is uh primarily going to have a negative effect on the whole team.
Uh, you know, bad for anyone who shares the ice with Dry Sidle at any time. Uh
What is the latest update on Leon Draisaitl’s injury and how does it affect Oilers fantasy owners?
Matt Savoy may be the big winner. He moved up to left wing with McDavid and Hyman on a team that is now kind of a one-line team. He also joined them on Power Play One. It's probably the only winner, although McDavid did really dish last year during a four-game period where he wasn't injured and Dreisidel was. Remember, they both had some time in and out of the lineup late last season. But he managed 10 assists and put on a fair number of shots as well, although he didn't convert. So it could be potentially an opportunity for McDavid to step things up a little bit. He's going to have to, I suppose, if the Oilers want to stay ahead in the playoff hunt. They are currently tied 3-3 with the Sharks. It's about 1045 on.
Uh Tuesday night, Saint Patrick's Day, by the way. So uh anyone out celebrating, hope you're had a good time. Uh hopefully my voice is not causing any ringing in your head this morning. Speaking to folks associated with maybe a ringing in the head, a bad boy Evgeny Malkin was back with a vengeance in a big win for the Penguins. He scored two goals, had a power play assist, played power play one and about 16 minutes in his return in a 7-2 shellacking of Colorado. Other notable Penguins scorers included Eric Carlson, who had a goal and assist for Shellacking. He is on a nice little hot streak. I was going to bring him up towards the end, but I'll mention him now. 14 points in his last 11 games. Really nice work for Carlson.
If you held him through that rough patch to start the year, as I did not, he is rewarding you now. Brian Rust had a goal and an assist and three shots. Anthony Mantha scored on his only shot. And both Chinikov and Raquel. Kell had an assist and a shot on goal. Chinikov scoring uh for those folks who picked him up for the Monday, Wednesday to start the week. I remember he was mentioned on the mega show. We also saw a new acquisition Elmer Soderblom registering a goal and an assist with one shot. So nice work there for the former Red Wing. A tough night for both Colorado goalies. Wedgewood allowed three goals on five shots before being pulled. And Blackwood was not much better, unfortunately, for those folks who might have left him in a starting slot.
He gave up four goals on 15 shots. Coach Bednar recently said that whichever goalie gave them the best chance to win would be their starting goalie and would be relied on and given the majority of the starts. It seemed clearly to be Wedgewood, who had five wins and four quality starts in his five games previous to Monday Night Stinker.
