Trailblazers Jessica Campbell and Cory Chevy are reshaping the landscape of women's hockey coaching, having made significant strides into roles that were previously male-dominated. Campbell, originally from Renville, Saskatchewan, pursued her dream of playing in the NHL but shifted her focus to coaching after a successful playing career in the CWHL. She became a pioneer by taking on multiple coaching roles, including the first woman to coach in the AHL with the Coachella Valley Firebirds, where she led the team to the Calder Cup finals in her initial seasons.

Chevy also broke barriers in hockey, serving as the first head coach of a professional women's team in Montreal. Her recent experience included a stint as a guest coach with the Pittsburgh Penguins during the 2023 preseason, where she connected with players like Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Both women attribute their success to the mentorship and support received from figures like Dan Bma, who emphasized the importance of energy and culture in coaching.

In a recent episode of the Locked On Fantasy Hockey podcast, a comprehensive injury update for the NHL highlighted key players like Igor Shesterkin of the New York Rangers, who is crucial for the team's playoff aspirations. With the Rangers currently struggling, Shesterkin's return could be a game changer. The podcast also explored the performance of other players like Evgeni Malkin, whose absence due to injury has affected the Pittsburgh Penguins, alongside insights into the Norris Trophy race featuring standout defensemen like Zach Werenski, Quinn Hughes, and Cale Makar. The hosts emphasized the importance of making informed decisions in fantasy hockey as injuries could significantly impact roster strategies.
