Hayes' minutes were trending […]

Eichel now boasts back-to-back two-point efforts, […]

Taylor Hall Scores In Second Consecutive Game

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall has started to heat up and boasts goals from back-to-back games following Sunday's 4-2 loss to New Jersey.

Calgary Flames winger Andrew Mangiapane has been suspended for one game for cross-checking Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann in Saturday's 6-3 win. The suspension will keep Mangiapane out from Tuesday's clash with the Predators.

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kenrich Williams (back) still isn't ready to make his season debut on Monday against Atlanta. The 28-year-old is kept out of the lineup by lower back spasms. The Thunder have played decently without Williams, going 3-3, but he would be a versatile extra body to throw on the court. Williams averaged […]

De'Andre Hunter Fine For Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (finger) is expected to play Monday versus the Thunder. He dislocated his right pinky finger in Saturday's matchup against New Orleans but played through the ailment at the weekend, and it won't keep him out of the lineup on Monday either.

Lonnie Walker IV Probable For Monday's Action

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (knee) is considered probable for Monday's meeting with Milwaukee. The 24-year-old has a sore left knee, but he should be fine for the action.

Caleb Martin To Miss Another Game On Monday
