Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey Podcast

The fantasy hockey BUY LOW window is wide open, and Blake is back with four players you should be looking to acquire before their production catches up to their underlying numbers!
In this episode of the Apples & Ginos Fantasy Hockey Podcast, Blake digs into four talented players who have disappointed fantasy managers early in the 2026-27 NHL season but could be primed for a turnaround.
On the docket:
Matt Boldy – Elite shot volume, outstanding underlying metrics, and an offensive environment built for success. Would you trade Cutter Gauthier or Leo Carlsson to get him?

J.T. Miller – His production has fallen off a cliff, and he's been bumped to PP2, but there's reason to believe a rebound is coming.

Dylan Guenther – Injuries and declining shot rates are concerning, but the upside of a 40-goal scorer is still there.

Quinton Byfield – The results have been ugly, but improved power-play involvement and reinforcements at even strength could change everything.

Blake breaks down the advanced stats, deployment, team environments, and realistic trade offers to help you identify which struggling players are worth targeting.
Don't let a slow start fool you. Sometimes the best fantasy hockey trades are made when everyone else is losing patience.

Week 7 has a potential landmine 14-game Saturday slate that you need to avoid.

Nate breaks down everything you need to win your fantasy hockey matchup this week, including the best schedules to attack, teams to avoid, top streaming options for points and peripherals, and the players worth adding before the rest of your league catches on.

Nashville leads the way with FOUR off-night games, while the Rangers, Canucks, and Sharks also offer some excellent streaming opportunities. We’re talking Jonathan Marchessault, Gabe Perreault, Tye Kartye, Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, Victor Olofsson, and plenty more.

Plus: who should you be dropping from bad schedules? Which low-rostered players are becoming legitimate long-term holds? And who survives this week’s Streamer Deathmatch?

1:37 — Newsies
5:56 — Schedule Attack: Week 6
7:45 — Lowered Expectations: Worst Teams to Stream
13:07 — Crossing the Streams: Best Teams to Stream
