Victor Hedman Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The former Norris Trophy winner was a late scratch for Thursday's matchup against Calgary.

Owen Power Picks Up Two Points In Losing Effort

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power registered a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. The 22-year-old was benched for most of the first period after Mika Zibanejad scored the game's opening goal on the power play off Power's mistake, but he bounced back well. Rasmus Dahlin's (back) absence has given Power […]

Josh Richardson To Sit Out At Least One Week

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (heel) will be unavailable for at least one week. Per Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Richardson has had an injection in his right heel.

Jimmy Butler Probable For Thursday's Matchup

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is expected to remain in the lineup against Toronto on Thursday. The team has listed him as probable for the game.

Sam Hauser Doubtful For Thursday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser (adductor) is considered doubtful for Thursday's clash with the Pistons.

Prior to last weekend, Hauser enjoyed a strong stretch […]

Cam Talbot Set To Return On Thursday

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot (lower body) will likely return to the crease on Thursday against Philadelphia. The veteran was initially expected to be out until the weekend.

Igor Shesterkin Faces Sabres On Wednesday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will make his 21st start of the campaign on Wednesday against Buffalo.
