Hello again, Razzball faithful! I’m very excited to be back on the hockey side of things for the 2025 season! When Viz sent out the ‘puck-beacon’ into the night sky, asking if anyone was down to help write some words about our beloved frozen fandom, I got that Flame in the belly again.  After I realized it was not indigestion, or Jarome Iginla, all it took was a quick message from Grey asking if I’d be interested in jumping back in on the word-Zamboni, and I was in. Some of you might remember me from a few years ago when I wrote up some DFS for Viz here. Since then, I’ve been hammering out words on the baseball side most recently as our Top 100 Starting Pitchers writer for the last two years. You can check that stuff out here if you have a lot of time on your hands and/or have read through the divisional preview 25 times already. As for me, I told Viz that I would be happy to preview the divisions and bring you names and some notes to help you get your squad up to snuff for the 2025-2026 season. After that, I’ll be coming back each Wednesday to do the Tuesday night recaps. 
No Barkov, no Tkachuk, no problem for Florida on Monday and Tuesday.  They posted two consecutive 4-3 wins over Boston and Columbus respectively, with Sam Reinhart leading the way.  Reinhart scored two goals on Monday against the Bruins before scoring a goal and two assists against the Blue Jackets.  It's an excellent start to the season for Reino despite missing his most common linemate.  I was still aggressive in my Reinhart ranking despite the regression that was coming because I've always believed in his ability.  I wouldn't be surprised if we see a career high in assists to counter the drop off in goals.  He played over 21 minutes on Tuesday and as long as the other two are out, I expect Maurice to lean on Reinhart heavily.  Let's take a look at what else happened over the last two nights:
