About this episode

Corey Sznajder joins the podcast to discuss the microstats that influence fantasy hockey production and evaluate potential breakout players.

Corey Sznajder of All Three Zones is back on Apples & Ginos to help us look past the boxscore and better understand the process behind fantasy hockey production. In this episode, Blake talks with Corey about the microstats that can help us identify real breakouts, future production, and potential fool’s gold. We dig into zone entries with chances, shot assists, chance assists, transition play, rush offense, and the under-the-hood indicators that can change how we evaluate players. We also get Corey’s thoughts on a wide range of fascinating fantasy hockey names, including Matt Coronato, Will Smith, Ivan Demidov, Matvei Michkov and more. Plus, we discuss playoff standouts, the Hurricanes’ surprising second line, the Ducks’ young talent, and which young players Corey is most excited about moving forward. If you want to understand which players have the process to support a fantasy breakout, this one is for you. Let’s get to BIZ! 🏒 Welcome to Apples and Ginos – Your Ultimate Fantasy Hockey Edge! Every week we dive deep into fantasy hockey insights, player analysis, waiver wire pickups, trade targets, lineup tips, and more to help you dominate your league. Hosted by Nate Groot…
