The standings are really starting to open up at this late stage in the season. Vic in particular has been burning ahead, as some of his top players have woken up and started producing. Meanwhile, my top players (Malkin and Giroux) have been held to 2 points within the past 6-7 games.

No more tight races here: Kreegs is ahead of Vic by 16 points, who's ahead of Slurm by 8, who's ahead of Kong by 20, who's ahead of Han by 26, who's ahead of Kit by 103, who's ahead of Clay by 77. That said, we've all seen what one long weekend can do to flip the tables, and there are still plenty of games left in the season.

Anything can happen! I am just a surprised as anyone about how many points some of my guys are collecting this year.

The sheet has been updated to include the weekend's games.

Clay, Ryan Ellis has now missed 20 games, which means you have until the end of this week to make a substitution (although he has more points than everyone in your reserves, so I doubt you'll want to do that—still, you have the option).

Other than that, Kreegs is still ahead by 24 points, but there's a neck-and-neck battle for 2nd between Slurmee (499) and Vic (495).

Kane out for 10 weeks... (bad for my fantasy team, but good for the Wild!)

Wheeler placed on IR... (good for my fantasy team, good for the Wild)

Depending on how long Wheeler is out, I might be able to sub him out for Little. He needs to miss almost every game though. It's looking like Okposo is getting close, too, but I don't have many reserves worth bringing up.

Update*** Kane out for 12 weeks for Chicago.

Also will be intertesting once he misses 20 games as he has 20+ points on your reserves.

Nonetheless this changes everything and your 20 point lead is nothing now.

In somewhat less impactful news, Jaromir Jagr has been traded to Florida.

I'm sure all 258 fans down there are buzzing about it.
