Philipp Grubauer In For Caps Versus Penguins

Braden Holtby started the last two games as Grubauer apparently "tweaked something", […]

Kyle Palmieri Leaves Game With Injury

New Jersey Devils forward Kyle Palmieri left last night's game against the New York Islanders in the third period after taking a high stick from teammate Andy Greene just below the eye. The wound clearly needed stitching and the forward did not return to finish the game. It's unclear what his status will be tonight […]

Keith Kinkaid To Start For Devils Versus Islanders

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid is expected to make his career-high 35th start of the season against the New York Islanders tonight. Kinkaid and the Devils had a three-game win streak snapped on Thursday night in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The veteran netminder is 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goals against […]

Braden Holtby Takes Another Loss To Hurricanes

Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby allowed three goals on 29 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes last night. The loss snapped a personal three-game win streak for the netminder, and also halts a five-game streak for the team. Holtby has now allowed at least three goals in 10 of his last 12 […]

Matt Murray Will Take On Habs

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will get his fifth straight start as the team takes on the visiting Montreal Canadiens Saturday night. Murray stopped 28 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. His play since returning from injury March 20th leaves something to be desired; he's got a 3.61 […]

Matt Murray Outlasts Devils In Overtime

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. The win put the Penguins a point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the standings with only four games remaining. Despite posting 25 wins, Murray has struggled all season to post […]

Ondrej Pavelec To Face Tampa On Friday

New York Rangers goaltender Ondrej Pavelec will make a rare start for the club as they take on the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning. Pavelec's last appearance came in relief of Alexandar Georgiev on Monday night, stopping 26 of 27 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Washington Capitals. The 30-year-old's career may be depending on […]

Braden Holtby Confirmed For Caps Versus Canes

Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby will get the starting nod Friday night as the Caps take on the visiting Carolina Hurricanes. Holtby looked good in his last start, as he stopped 35 shots in a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers on Wednesday. Philipp Grubauer sat the last game with an undisclosed injury but […]

Nico Hischier Continues To Produce For Devils

New Jersey Devils forward Nico Hischier has five goals and eight points in his last nine games. The first overall pick of 2017 has spent much of his time recently centering should-be Hart candidate Taylor Hall at even strength, and one of Kyle Palmieri or Jesper Bratt on the right wing. Despite being held pointless […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Holds On For Win Against Oilers

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 25 shots in a 7-3 blowout win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. What a rollercoaster of a game it was. The Oilers came out hot with three goals in the first 10 minutes, but that was all the damage they would get to […]

Matt Murray Gets Another Loss Versus Red Wings

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray surrendered four goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night. The loss continues what has been a disappointing season for the young netminder, as he's now allowed 15 goals over his last four games. Murray is running out of time to regain […]

Thomas Vanek Continues To Score In Columbus

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Thomas Vanek (15 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) has four goals and nine points in his last nine games, despite being held pointless in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The trade-deadline acquisition has been playing on the third line with Alex Wennberg and Boone Jenner while getting minutes […]

Jaccob Slavin Creating Offense For Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes defender Jaccob Slavin (12 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) recorded an assist in Monday night's 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, giving him eight points over his last seven games. While the young defenseman receives little to no power-play time, he does lead the team in overall ice time per game, giving him […]

Devils Roll With Keith Kinkaid Versus Hurricanes

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will make his third straight start against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. Kinkaid has clearly taken the reins as the Devils No. 1 goaltender, as Cory Schneider was pulled in his only start in the last seven games. Over the last month, Kinkaid has managed seven wins for […]

Matt Murray Looks To Right Ship Against Red Wings

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will make his third consecutive start as the team visits the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night. Murray stopped 41 shots en route to a 5-4 overtime victory against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. He also yielded four goals to the New Jersey Devils in his start before that. The Red […]

Valentin Zykov Making Good First Impression With Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes forward Valentin Zykov notched a goal in Monday night's 4-1 win against the Ottawa Senators. The 23-year-old rookie was called up on March 20 and has made the most out of his time with the big club. Zykov now has three goals and five points in those four games, playing on a line […]

Philipp Grubauer Wins Third Straight As Caps Down Rangers

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer stopped 28 of 30 shots en route to a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Monday night. The win made it three in a row for Grubauer, as he's allowed six goals on 90 shots for a .933 save percentage in that span. It's looking more and more […]

Derick Brassard On Six-Game Point Streak

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Derick Brassard (37 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) scored a goal in Sunday's 5-4 overtime win against the Philadelphia Flyers to push his point streak to six points in six games. The 30-year-old trade-deadline acquisition has spent most of his time in Pittsburgh on the third line between Phil Kessel and Conor […]

Philipp Grubauer In For Caps Versus Rangers

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer will get the nod Monday night as the Caps visit the New York Rangers. The German netminder won his last start in Montreal despite allowing four goals on 21 shots. The fact that he's starting again Monday despite a healthy Braden Holtby implies the starter's job is his to lose, […]

Alex Lyon Pulled In Loss To Penguins

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Alex Lyon was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 25-year-old's rookie season has been underwhelming, as his numbers drop to 2.75 goals against average and a .905 save percentage. While Petr Mrazek allowed the eventual game winner and took the official loss, Lyon […]

Matt Murray Outlasts Flyers In Overtime

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray stopped 41 shots en route to a 5-4 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday afternoon. The loss snapped a personal three game losing streak for the young netminder, as his record improves to 24-14-3. Four goals against doesn't look very appealing from a fantasy standpoint, but the Flyers […]

Taylor Hall Carries Devils To Overtime Win Versus Penguins

New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall notched a goal and two assists last night in a 4-3 overtime victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Hall now sits at 81 points on the season, one more than his previous career high of 80 points, set in the 2013-14 season. The 26-year-old will be a Hart trophy favorite, […]

Matt Murray Takes Another Loss For Penguins

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray allowed four goals on 34 shots last night in a 4-3 overtime loss to the New Jersey Devils. The loss drops Murray's record to 23-14-3, a surprising record considering his goals against average on the season sits at 2.86. It is no secret the Pens need their reigning Stanley Cup […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Expected To Start For Jackets Versus Panthers

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky is expected to start tonight against the visiting St. Louis Blues. There is no team hotter than the Blue Jackets right now; their 4-0 shut out of the Florida Panthers Thursday night gives them ten wins in a row. That 0 in the score, by the way, is courtesy […]

Philipp Grubauer Shuts Out Red Wings

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer made 39 saves last night in a 1-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings for his third shutout of the season. The German netminder rebounded nicely after allowing five goals in a 6-3 loss to the Flyers on Sunday; his record now sits at 12-9-3 with a 2.29 goals against […]

Phillip Grubauer In For Caps Versus Red Wings

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer will get the nod on Thursday night, as the Caps visit the Detroit Red Wings. The announcement comes as a surprise as Braden Holtby was the first goalie off the ice this morning, but has apparently "tweaked something" and will be unavailable for tonight's contest. Grubauer will look to rebound […]

Alex Lyon Will Face Rangers Thursday Night

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Alex Lyon will take on the visiting New York Rangers for Thursday night's matchup. In Lyon's last appearance, he stopped 11 of 12 shots in a relief of Petr Mrazek, bringing his record to 3-2-1 on the year. Mrazek's performance has left something to be desired since the Flyers acquired him at […]

Patrick Maroon Continues To Shine As A Devil

New Jersey Devils forward Patrick Maroon added an assist in Tuesday night's 6-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks, giving him eight points in nine games since his trade from the Edmonton Oilers. The 29-year-old from Missouri is still on the third line with Blake Coleman and Stefan Noesen, but has cemented himself on the top […]

Mika Zibanejad Has Nine Points In Five Games

New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad (43 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) scored a power-play goal in Tuesday night's 5-3 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, extending his point streak to six goals and nine points in five games. The Swedish center has amassed 43 points in 63 games this season, which are solid but uninspiring numbers […]

Casey DeSmith Gets The Call For Pens Versus Habs

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Casey DeSmith will tend the twine Wednesday as the Pens take on the visiting Montreal Canadiens. With Matt Murray healthy, the club sent Tristan Jarry down to the minors instead of DeSmith, indicating that he will likely hold the backup role for the remainder of the season. The 26-year-old is 4-4-1 in his […]
