Fantasy Friday (the 13th): The unlucky players
Friday the 13th is a day considered to be an unlucky day by those who are superstitious. And considering most NHL players are extremely superstitious (from what they eat on game days, to how they get their equipment on, to how they warm up before games and much more), I felt it would be appropriate to look at some of the unluckiest players in fantasy hockey from this season.
Here are five players that have experienced bad luck in some fashion:
1. Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin registered 15 shots on goal during Tuesday night's game against the Detroit Red Wings. Those 15 shots are tied for third most in a single game in NHL history (see table to right).
