Joel Armia Hits A Hat Trick Against Washington

Montreal Canadiens winger Joel Armia potted his second career hat trick Thursday, providing half of the goals in a 6-2 triumph over the Capitals. Armia started the three-goal effort with a short-handed tally, added one marker in an even-strength situation, and wrapped up his night with an empty-netter. The 29-year-old scored his first hat trick […]

Jack Hughes Posts Career-High Four Points

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes registered a career-high four points in Thursday's 8-1 victory over Columbus. He had two goals and two assists, picking up half of his points on the power play. The 21-year-old became the fourth player in franchise history with at least 10 multi-goal performances across a single season and no […]

Mikko Rantanen Records His Third Hat Trick Of The Season

Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen scored his third hat trick of the season and added an assist as the defending champions beat San Jose 6-2 Thursday night. He recorded his 16th career four-point game, tying Anton Stastny for the fifth-most in franchise history. Two of the outings have come in the last three games, with […]

Joel Eriksson Ek Injured On Thursday

Minnesota Wild center Joel Eriksson Ek failed to complete Thursday's meeting with Pittsburgh due to a lower-body injury. He appeared to have hurt his ankle when it was hit by a slap shot from Pittsburgh's Evgeni Malkin. Eriksson Ek's night ended in the second period after he had recorded only 8:16 of ice time. Minnesota […]

Charlie McAvoy Likely Out For The Weekend

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy isn't expected to play over the weekend after leaving Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Toronto with an upper-body injury. He was pulled from the game as a precaution, but the Bruins obviously have no reason whatsoever to play him when he's not completely healthy, with the team comfortably leading the […]

Johnny Gaudreau Exits Game With An Illness

Columbus Blue Jackets left wing Johnny Gaudreau made a very early exit Thursday against New Jersey, leaving the game with an illness after taking just three shifts. He logged a total of 2:15 of ice time in the contest. It's unclear if this will also affect Gaudreau's status for Saturday's clash with the Rangers. Gaudreau […]

Sam Bennett Misses Another Game Thursday

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (groin) will remain on the shelf for Thursday's game against Ottawa. He looks set to miss Saturday's contest against Washington as well, with Panthers head coach Paul Maurice noting that Bennett likely won't return before April 10 versus Toronto. The versatile forward hasn't played since March 20, sitting out eight […]

David Krejci Remains Out Of Bruins Lineup

Boston Bruins center David Krejci (lower body) will remain out of the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Toronto. The veteran misses a second consecutive contest, with the team trying to get him healthy for the playoffs. Patrice Bergeron has also gotten some time off lately, leaving Boston without its two best centers, but he will […]

Tage Thompson Could Be Out Again Thursday

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson (upper body) is regarded as a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's matchup against Detroit. Buffalo's breakout star continues to be troubled by an upper-body injury that has kept him out of three of the last four games. Thompson, who has exploded for 44 goals and 90 points in 73 games, […]

Roope Hintz Regarded As A Game-Time Decision

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) is a game-time call for Thursday's clash with the Flyers. Hintz scored his 35th goal of the season Monday versus Nashville, but it looks like he also got hurt in the game, although Stars head coach Peter DeBoer hasn't shared any specifics regarding Hintz's ailment. The Finnish forward has […]

Teuvo Teravainen A Game-Time Call Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Teuvo Teravainen (illness) is a game-time decision again for Thursday's meeting with Nashville. He was initially expected to miss just one game with an illness, but Thursday would mark his fifth consecutive missed game if Teravainen doesn't return. The Finnish winger has had a disappointing campaign with 12 goals and 36 points […]

Cale Makar Remains Out Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday against San Jose. The star blue-liner has been troubled by health issues throughout the second half of the season and currently needs some time off to recover from a lower-body issue. Despite him missing 16 games already this season, Makar is […]

Tony DeAngelo To Sit Out Thursday's Action

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo is set to miss Thursday's game against Dallas as a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old is close to posting his third 50-point campaign in four seasons, having recorded 11 goals and 31 assists, but he also has a career-worst minus-27 rating through 70 appearances, which shows that DeAngelo's play has been […]

Matisse Thybulle Considered Doubtful Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (knee) looks set to miss a second straight game Thursday against San Antonio, with the team regarding him as doubtful for the matchup. Thybulle has emerged as a good source for peripheral stats for fantasy managers late in the season, but with him now having trouble with his right […]

Trendon Watford In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Trendon Watford (ankle) could be out for a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as questionable for Thursday's matchup versus San Antonio. The 22-year-old has put in very impressive performances in recent weeks, but he has suffered a sprained ankle and the team has no reason whatsoever to push […]

Shaedon Sharpe Could Miss Thursday's Action

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Shaedon Sharpe (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs. The 19-year-old is on the injury report with left knee tendinopathy and might have to sit out Thursday's action after putting together a very impressive run of performances. With Portland missing multiple players, Sharpe has become the first option on […]

Cam Reddish Questionable Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Cam Reddish (back) is again listed as questionable ahead of Thursday's clash with San Antonio. He is trying to shake off lumbar soreness but has been questionable for a few games now and it's unclear if Reddish can return Thursday. Kevin Knox II has started to play a significant part in […]

Bam Adebayo Upgraded To Probable

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (quadriceps) appears to be good to go for Thursday's battle with Joel Embiid and the Sixers after the team upgraded his status from questionable to probable. A hip issue kept Adebayo out from one game last week, but he's typically a very durable player and it looks like he won't […]

P.J. Tucker Listed As Questionable Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center P.J. Tucker (calf) is on the injury report as questionable for Thursday's matchup versus the Heat. The veteran has been out just five times this season and clearly doesn't like to sit out games, but Philadelphia will want to keep him as healthy as possible for the playoffs and Tucker is currently […]

De'Anthony Melton Questionable Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (calf) is considered questionable for Thursday's game against Miami. The 24-year-old is troubled by right calf tightness and could be out for only the fourth time this season. Melton could have a big role to play in the game if Tyrese Maxey (neck) misses the contest. Philadelphia's backcourt injuries should […]

Trae Young Questionable Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (illness) could miss another game Wednesday against Washington, with the team listing him as questionable for the matchup. Young was unavailable Tuesday against Chicago with a non-COVID illness and it remains to be seen if he's recovered well enough to be ready to play Wednesday. Bogdan Bogdanovic entered the […]

Al Horford Sits On Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) will miss the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday versus the Raptors. The veteran had a very busy 35-minute night against the Sixers on Tuesday and will be rested. Horford hasn't played both games of a back-to-back all season. Robert Williams III, who was rested Tuesday, should soak in […]

Marcus Smart Questionable Against Toronto

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (neck) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. Smart is bothered by neck spasms and could need some time off after the Celtics played Philadelphia Tuesday night. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year had a good all-around outing with 17 points, four rebounds, four assists and one […]

Jayson Tatum Questionable For Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (hip) could sit out Wednesday's clash with the Raptors, with the team listing him as questionable for the game. Boston is completing a back-to-back, and Tatum played 38 minutes Tuesday versus Philadelphia, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get the night off, especially with Jaylen Brown (neck) […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable Again Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) is once again carrying a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's game against Boston. He appeared to be on the way back to the court Tuesday versus Charlotte but missed the game and has now been absent for seven straight contests in total. Will Barton returned from injury Tuesday […]

Jalen Brunson Won't Play Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (hand) will sit out Wednesday's contest against Indiana. The 26-year-old continues to deal with a right hand injury and will take a night off after playing in the previous three games. The injury didn't keep Brunson from erupting for a career-high 48 points a couple of games ago, but […]

Lauri Markkanen Questionable Tuesday

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (hand) might be unavailable for the team again Tuesday versus the Lakers, with the Finnish star carrying a questionable tag. Markkanen has played in just three of the team's last eight games and the Jazz don't really have to push him through injuries, as the hopes of extending the season […]

Dillon Brooks Questionable For Tuesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Dillon Brooks (hip) could be forced to come out of the lineup Tuesday against Portland, with the team listing him as questionable for the game. Brooks recently missed one game with a suspension but has been unavailable for just seven contests over the course of the season. David Roddy was his replacement […]

Robert Williams III Won't Play Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) will be kept out of action Tuesday against Philadelphia. It's the second straight game he misses, but fantasy managers shouldn't panic, as the Celtics simply find themselves in consecutive back-to-back situations and the team is simply trying to manage Williams III's workload. He should be ready to go […]

Gary Trent Jr. Remains Questionable Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (back) was able to take part in a scrimmage during Monday's practice, but he remains questionable for Tuesday's game against Charlotte. Trent Jr. has been on the shelf for six straight games. With O.G. Anunoby (ankle) getting injured in the last game and possibly out Tuesday, the Raptors could […]
