November 5 Fantasy Hockey Streamers: Kevin Bahl, Travis Hamonic, Noah Gregor and More
Five NHL teams with good matchups on Tuesday and the players on those teams who are most involved in the action.
I’ve been complaining about the political ads the past few days and pining for election day to pass, and we’ve finally made the day. The madness won’t be over, but we will at least be able to stream video without seeing the same politicians 85 times per hour.
Being we’re talking about hockey, it got me thinking: How much do Canadians care about our election and/or how much time do they invest? I’m sure everyone will know the results, but do they get into debate about it? For their sake, I hope not.
With an eye on hockey, let’s look at five NHL teams with good matchups on Tuesday and the players on those teams who are most involved in the action. Not everyone listed below will be available, but it's good to compare usage across the same team.
I try not to list injured players, but always check actives/inactives before game time to ensure everyone in your lineup is playing. Stats are from NHL.com.
