Tanner Pearson Finds Back Of The Net On Sunday

Vancouver Canucks left-winger Tanner Pearson has had a long season of bad-puck luck and worse. However, on Sunday night he found a loose puck in the crease for his third goal of the season.

Conor Garland Scores Goal In Losing Effort

Vancouver Canucks forward Conor Garland scored during the second period of Sunday's night loss to the Boston Bruins. Garland gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead at the time. The goal was unassisted and was Garland's sixth of the year. It also was his 15th point in 22 games, and the right-winger should be able to […]

Jaroslav Halak Takes Loss Despite 39 Saves

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jaroslav Halak was under siege, particularly in the third period on Sunday. He stopped 39 saves in all including four on the penalty kill. It was the penalty kill again where the problems started increasing. Vancouver allowed two goals in the third period -- both on the man disadvantage. There is a […]

Boston Bruins left-winger Brad Marchand snapped a five-game goal drought on Sunday with a power-play tally early in the third period.

He does have seven shots during his last […]

Sean Couturier Will Play Sunday Night

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier was a little late in going out for practice on Sunday. There is no cause for concern, though, as he looked fine ahead of the game versus New Jersey. Couturier did absorb a huge hit on Friday night, and the guess is the medical staff wanted to give him the […]

Mackenzie Blackwood Back In Net For New Jersey Sunday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will start in goal at home against the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday. Blackwood has had a nutty last five starts from the highs of a 42-save shutout to the lows of getting his bell rung at Madison Square Garden. It has been an interesting ride. Blackwood is 3-1-2 on […]

Jonathan Dahlen Returns To San Jose Lineup Sunday

San Jose Sharks center Jonathan Dahlen will be on the top line Sunday as they face the Chicago Blackhawks. There was some talk Dahlen may not play. However, he will play on the right wing centered by Logan Couture. Timo Meier will be on his opposite side. That should set up Dahlen well. The forward […]

Jaroslav Halak Faces Former Team Sunday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jaroslav Halak faces the Boston Bruins on Sunday night from Boston. Halak has not won a game this season in four decisions (0-3-1). The problem is that the goalie has been worse on the road. He has allowed six goals in two starts away from home. Worse, he has yielded four goals […]

Martin Jones Starts Versus New Jersey On Sunday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Martin Jones will be in goal against the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night. Jones has enjoyed a resurgence of sorts as he has four quality starts in is games.

Marc-Andre Fleury Between The Pipes For Chicago Sunday

Daniel Sprong Will Sit Sunday Afternoon Against Carolina

Washington Capitals right-winger Daniel Sprong will not be in the lineup on Sunday afternoon in Carolina. The forward had gone pointless in his previous three games and was a -5 on top of it. If that was not bad enough, Sprong just could not generate anything offensively as he was bumped from the middle-six into […]

Jake DeBrusk A Healthy Scratch On Sunday For Boston

Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk will not be in the lineup on Sunday night as they face the Vancouver Canucks at home. DeBrusk has struggled over the past three games in particular.

Erik Haula To Sit On Sunday For Boston

Andersen is a stellar 4-1 at home with a […]

Ilya Samsonov Sees Third Consecutive Start For Washington

Washington Capitals goaltender Ilya Samsonov gets the nod in net against the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon. The apparent plan for the Russian goaltender was to gradually increase his workload in waves. This will be his fifth start in the last six Washington contests. The goaltender has either yielded zero or three goals in his […]

Lars Eller Back In The Lineup Sunday For Washington

Washington Capitals center Lars Eller returns to the lineup on Sunday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Eller missed a half-dozen games in all due to COVID. He also had to quarantine for ten days in an Anaheim hotel room. It seemed to affect his mental health and outlook more than anything. The good news is he […]

Matthew Tkachuk Breaks Double Digits In Goals Saturday

Calgary Flames left-winger Matthew Tkachuk scored again on Saturday night at home giving him ten goals in just 21 games. Tkachuk hit the net three times in all but his first shot found the mark at 26 seconds. All the forward had to do was keep his stick on the ice as Johnny Gaudreau fired […]
