SiriusXM NHL Network Radio Presents Alberga’s Fantasy Fix: Hot Start

Alex Ovechkin #8 of the Washington Capitals looks on in the first period against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game Seven of the Eastern Conference Second Round during the 2017 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs at Verizon Center on May 10, 2017 in Washington, DC.

For the time being – all order seems to be restored in the world. Well, at least in terms of fantasy hockey.

Alex Ovechkin is on pace for 287 goals, Patrick Kane looks just fine without Artemi Panarin and Connor McDavid can still be clipped for speeding if he skated through a school zone.

Now – most of that is not shocking but nonetheless, it’s still fantastic to see.
