"The 41st game of the season for each NHL team has been played, and there's now been enough time for us to digest that first half of the 2025-26 campaign. So as part of this week's updated edition of the ESPN NHL Power Rankings -- led once again by the juggernaut Colorado Avalanche -- we are identifying the midseason fantasy hockey MVP for all 32 clubs, according to analysts Sean Allen (Eastern Conference teams) and Victoria Matiash (Western Conference teams). And a reminder: It's not too late to sign up for ESPN Fantasy Hockey. New leagues start every Monday, and you can sign up for free today. How we rank: A panel of ESPN hockey commentators, analysts, reporters and editors sends in a 1-32 poll based on the games through Wednesday."
"Midseason fantasy MVP: Nikita Kucherov, RW. We all know how incredible Kucherov is, so let's hand him the fantasy MVP -- but step aside briefly to highlight the blue line. Darren Raddysh has stepped up in Victor Hedman's absence, keeping Tampa Bay's power play among the league's best and making a real difference for fantasy managers. Next seven days: vs. NSH (Jan. 16), vs. WSH (Jan. 19), vs. ANA (Jan. 21)"
