| Updated fantasy hockey rankings: What's changed from last season? |
| Previous versions of these rankings had been roto-forward, but it is time to make the rankings better reflect the way fantasy managers play the game. ESPN.com's offseason rankings and top 300 are not mine, but I will use them to show a baseline in these initial rankings.

| Stamkos, Palat lift Lightning over Blackhawks again |
| Palat got things rolling after Stamkos picked off Delia's pass attempt behind Chicago's net and fed Palat coming down the slot for his second goal at 2:25. I thought Duncan (Keith) was going to pick it up and curl, then I didn’t see him,’’ Delia said of his turnover. So I definitely didn’t make the right play. |
