Mitchell Chaffee Considered Day-To-Day

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Mitchell Chaffee (undisclosed) has been labeled as day-to-day. He was injured in Monday's game against Colorado and didn't participate in Tuesday's practice. The 26-year-old grinder has made a positive impact on the Lightning squad this season, recording nine points (five goals, four assists) in 20 games with 25 hits. Cam […]

Thatcher Demko Nearing Season Debut

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko (knee) is starting to get close to his season debut. Per Sportsnet's Iain MacIntyre, Canucks general manager Patrik Allvin said on Tuesday that Demko's recovery has gone better than expected, and he's getting close to being a game-time decision. Kevin Lankinen will continue to start for Vancouver on Tuesday versus […]

Tage Thompson Set To Return On Wednesday

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (lower body) has announced that he's ready to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against Minnesota. He has missed five games with a lower-body issue. Despite the absence, Thompson remains Buffalo's top goal-scorer with 11 markers. He's also collected seven assists in 16 games. Before exiting the lineup, Thompson scored in […]

Pyotr Kochetkov May Be Ready To Return Later In The Week

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov (concussion) might rejoin the action later in the week. The Russian netminder landed in concussion protocol on Monday but has been making big strides and may only miss two games. Kochetkov is officially regarded as day-to-day. Spencer Martin is set to earn another start on Wednesday versus the Rangers. He […]

Timo Meier Receives One-Game Suspension

New Jersey Devils winger Timo Meier has been suspended for one game. He will be forced to sit out Wednesday's matchup against St. Louis after cross-checking Nashville forward Zachary L'Heureux in Monday's 5-2 win. Meier has struggled to produce offense and might even benefit from having a night off. He's had only three points the […]

Brock Boeser Returns To Action Tuesday

Vancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser (upper body) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's battle against Boston. The American forward has been unavailable for seven games due to an upper-body injury. Boeser has been moving at a nearly point-per-game pace this season, producing six goals and five assists in 12 appearances. J.T. Miller […]

Kyle Filipowski Sits Out Second Consecutive Game

Utah Jazz forward/center Kyle Filipowski (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against San Antonio. He sprained his right ankle last week against the Spurs, and it's unclear when Utah will have Filipowski in the lineup again. Drew Eubanks benefits from Filipowski's absence but is not a good fantasy asset. John Collins and Walker […]

Jordan Clarkson Back On The Shelf Tuesday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (foot) will exit the lineup on Tuesday versus San Antonio. He returned from a one-game absence on Saturday versus New York but struggled in the contest and will get at least one night off again. Clarkson was limited to only four points on 2-for-9 shooting against the Knicks. Johnny Juzang, […]

Devin Vassell Expected To Return On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Devin Vassell (knee) will sit out a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Utah but is expected to be back on the court Wednesday night against the Lakers. Vassell missed the start of the campaign with a foot injury and has now been out with a knee contusion. He's been limited […]

Joe Ingles Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Joe Ingles (calf) has landed on the injury report as questionable ahead of Tuesday's matchup against Houston. The Australian veteran is nursing a calf injury. Ingles' absence shouldn't impact the T-Wolves, as he hasn't been part of the rotation in the last couple of weeks anyway. Even early in the campaign, Ingles […]

Mike Conley Iffy For Tuesday's Action

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Mike Conley (toe) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's meeting with Houston. The veteran has been out for a couple of games with a toe injury, and his return on Tuesday is far from certain. Conley appears to be on his last legs, averaging 7.5 points and 4.8 assists for the […]

Taurean Prince Questionable To Face Heat

Milwaukee Bucks forward Taurean Prince (illness) has been listed as questionable for Tuesday's encounter with Miami. The veteran wing is dealing with an illness, which might keep Prince off the court for the first time this season. It's been a solid but unspectacular campaign for Prince, who averages 8.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.9 assists […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Considered Probable For Tuesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is expected to suit up against Miami on Tuesday. Antetokounmpo is battling a calf injury, but the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. The Bucks have looked horrible at times, but Antetokounmpo is off to a special start to the campaign. He leads the league […]

Macklin Celebrini Records First Career Three-Point Game

San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini put together his first career three-point game in Monday's 7-2 win against Los Angeles. He reached the milestone with a pair of goals and an assist. Celebrini, who scored his second goal of the night on the power play, became only the second teenager in Sharks history to total […]

Connor Hellebuyck Stops 43 Shots In Win Against Wild

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck saved 43 of 44 shots in Monday's 4-1 road victory against Minnesota. The Wild had Kirill Kaprizov back in the lineup and ended Hellebuyck's shutout bid early on when Jake Middleton gave the hosts the lead, but the Jets No. 1 went on to make 34 consecutive saves to help […]

Seth Jarvis Returns With A Three-Point Effort

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis (upper body) had a prolific comeback game against Dallas on Monday, notching three points in a 6-4 win. Returning from a seven-game absence, Jarvis netted a short-handed goal early in the first period and had a couple of assists in the third, including a power-play helper on Martin Necas' game-winning […]

Sebastian Aho Racks Up Four Points In Impressive Win

Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho registered his 10th career four-point game as the team got the better of the Dallas Stars 6-4 in a heavyweight battle on Monday. Aho collected his first point via a short-handed assist in the first period and had two further helpers with one goal in the third as Carolina dug […]

Nico Hischier Nets Historic Hat Trick Versus Predators

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier lit the lamp three times in Monday's 5-2 victory over Nashville, becoming the first Swiss player in NHL history to post a natural hat trick. He achieved the feat in the second period, sticking a power-play goal between two even-strength markers. This was Hischier's second three-point effort in five […]

Jakob Chychrun Tallies Three Points In Monday's Win

Washington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun led the charge with a goal and two assists in Monday's 4-1 victory at Florida. Facing his home state team, Chychrun scored a power-play goal, which ended up as the game-winning marker, and set up Lars Eller for a pair of goals. With his sixth tally of the campaign, Chychrun […]

Brandon Hagel Dishes Out Career-High Five Assists

Tampa Bay Lightning winger Brandon Hagel racked up a career-high five assists as his squad eased to an 8-2 victory against Colorado Monday night. Hagel matched a franchise record with the five-assist effort, becoming the fourth player in Lightning history to set up as many goals in a single game. The 28-year-old has quietly put […]

Norman Powell Misses A Fourth Consecutive Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (hamstring) will remain on the shelf for Monday's tilt against Boston. He continues to nurse a hamstring injury, and it's not completely clear when Powell will be able to return. With him out, Amir Coffey has stepped into the starting lineup. Coffey's work mostly goes unnoticed, but he's had […]

Mo Bamba Sits On Monday

Los Angeles Clippers center Mo Bamba (knee) will sit out Monday's meeting with Boston. The Clippers finish off a back-to-back set, and the injury-prone Bamba will be rested for Monday's game. His absence will likely give extra playing opportunities to Nicolas Batum and Amir Coffey. The latter is the better fantasy option of the two, […]

Yves Missi Cleared For Action Monday

New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi (shoulder) will return to the lineup on Monday against Indiana. A shoulder problem kept Missi out from Friday's 112-108 loss to Golden State, and he was initially considered questionable for Monday's game. After starting each of his previous 11 outings, Missi will come off the bench versus the Pacers. […]

Kyrie Irving Upgraded To Available

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (illness) will play on Monday against Atlanta, with the team upgrading him from questionable to available. The veteran star was considered iffy for the game with an illness. With Luka Doncic (wrist) and Klay Thompson (foot) out of the lineup, Dallas' chances will largely depend on Irving's performance on Monday. […]

Klay Thompson Out On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will not take the court on Monday against Atlanta. The team has downgraded Thompson from questionable to out. Considering this is the second leg of a back-to-back, it was always looking unlikely that Thompson would be in the Mavericks lineup. Naji Marshall might step back into the starting lineup […]

CJ McCollum Available On Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (adductor) will return from a 13-game absence on Monday versus Indiana. The veteran played in only four games at the start of the season before landing on the shelf with an adductor injury. McCollum returns to action against a team that struggles on the defensive end and is in […]

Brandon Ingram Will Not Play Against Pacers

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Indiana. He'll be out for a second time in three games after the team initially listed him as questionable on the injury report. With the Pelicans battling various injuries, Ingram has done a lot of heavy lifting offensively, averaging 22.9 […]

Cade Cunningham Ruled Out For Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip) will miss a second consecutive game on Monday versus Toronto. The team initially had him as doubtful for the matchup and has now ruled him out. Malik Beasley will likely make another start, with Marcus Sasser having a chance to see extra action off the bench. Cunningham's absence also […]

Patrik Laine Practices In Regular Jersey

Montreal Canadiens winger Patrik Laine (knee) practiced on Monday in a regular jersey. It's another step forward in his recovery from a knee injury, although Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis doesn't expect Laine to be ready for game action this week. Montreal kicks off a four-game week on Tuesday against Utah. Laine might become […]

Mason McTavish Returns To Ducks Lineup Monday

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish (upper body) will be welcomed back to the lineup on Monday versus Seattle. He has been removed from Injured Reserve ahead of the contest, signaling that McTavish is ready to return from a six-game absence. McTavish was on a three-game point streak before getting injured and has recorded eight points […]
