Columbus Blue Jackets center Jack Roslovic had himself a second consecutive multi-point outing Friday versus the Islanders, finishing a 5-4 overtime victory with two assists.

Philipp Kurashev Ruled Out For Saturday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev (upper body) won't play Saturday versus Minnesota. He was injured on a hit by Washington's Tom Wilson Thursday.

Jakob Chychrun Doubtful For Saturday's Game

Ottawa Senators defenseman Jakob Chychrun (undisclosed) is considered doubtful for Saturday's meeting with New Jersey.

Alec Martinez Won't Play Saturday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alec Martinez will sit out Saturday's contest versus Edmonton for personal reasons. He is set to be replaced in the lineup by Ben Hutton. Martinez has been very quiet offensively in 2022-23, logging two goals and 11 assists, but his presence on the defensive end will definitely be missed, with Martinez […]

Filip Zadina Ruled Out For Saturday

Detroit Red Wings winger Filip Zadina will sit out Saturday's game against Philadelphia with a lower-body injury. The former top-six pick is considered day-to-day by the team. Zadina has found his way on the score sheet in each of the last two games, but the 2023-23 campaign as a whole has been another disappointing season […]

Cale Makar Returns To Avalanche Lineup

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (lower body) will be back in the lineup Friday against Arizona. He's returning after missing two games with a lower-body injury. Health issues have limited Makar to just 11 appearances since the All-Star break, although he has played extremely well when available and sat on an eight-game point streak before […]

Patrik Laine Out For 2-4 Weeks

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine will be sidelined for 2-4 weeks with a triceps strain suffered in practice, the team announced on Friday. The Blue Jackets are scheduled to finish their season on Apr. 14, so it's possible we've seen the last of Laine in 2022-23. The campaign has been full of injuries for […]

John Tavares Bags Three Assists In Thursday's Win

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares recorded three assists in Thursday's big 6-2 victory over the Panthers. It's his third multi-assist outing in four games. The Maple Leafs captain has been an inconsistent scorer late in the season, but he continues to make up for it with multi-point outings. Tavares can be happy with his […]

Auston Matthews Continues Strong Finish To The Season

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews struck two goals in Thursday's 6-2 win over Florida, doing the business early in the first and the second period. The league's two-time top goal-scorer now boasts six goals in total from his last eight games, adding six assists during the span. The star centerman is performing very nicely […]

Alex DeBrincat Breaks Out Of Slump With Three Points

Ottawa Senators left wing Alex DeBrincat came back to life in Thursday's 7-2 victory over Tampa Bay, contributing two goals and an assist. He entered the contest with a four-game scoring drought and had factored in on just two goals across his previous nine appearances. Both of DeBrincat's goals game in the first period, and […]

Mika Zibanejad Continues Hot Spell With Two Assists

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad tallied an assist on both of the team's goals in Thursday's 2-1 win over Carolina. Artemi Panarin and Adam Fox were the goal-scorers, giving Zibanejad his fifth multi-point outing in six games. The 29-year-old had a very slow start to the month, but he's suddenly exploded and is now […]

Alex Ovechkin Extends Scoring Streak Thursday

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin stretched his point streak to six games Thursday against Chicago in a 6-1 win, firing in his 41st goal of the season and bagging his 30th assist.

Reilly Smith Sustains A Lower-Body Injury

Vegas Golden Knights winger Reilly Smith made an early exit Thursday versus Calgary after suffering a lower-body injury. He didn't play in the third period, finishing with 11:39 of ice time. Vegas head coach Bruce Cassidy said after the game that it's unlikely Smith recovers in time for Saturday's game against the Oilers. It's a […]

Logan Thompson Suffers A New Injury

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson had to exit Thursday's game against Calgary with a lower-body injury. Making his first appearance since Feb. 9, Thompson had a great outing by saving 37 of 39 shots, but he sadly suffered another injury in the third period. Jonathan Quick came in as relief to complete the job […]

Jared Spurgeon Returns From Illness Thursday

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon (illness) will jump back into the lineup Thursday against Philadelphia. He missed the previous game with a non-COVID illness.

Anthony Duclair Available Again Thursday

Florida Panthers right wing Anthony Duclair (illness) will return to the lineup Thursday against Toronto. He was a late scratch for Tuesday's contest versus Philadelphia with a non-COVID illness.

Ville Husso Out With A Lower-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso will miss Thursday's contest versus St. Louis with a nagging lower-body injury.

Darcy Kuemper Back In Capitals Crease Thursday

Washington Capitals goaltender Darcy Kuemper (upper body) will return from a brief stint on the sidelines Thursday versus the Blackhawks. He was unavailable for the last two games because of an upper-body injury. Kuemper has lost four of his last five starts, but he's in a great spot to get back into the win column […]

John Carlson Set To Return Thursday

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson (head) has been activated from Injured Reserve and he's set to rejoin the lineup Thursday against Chicago. The star rearguard hasn't played since Dec. 23 after taking a slap shot to the head. It was only recently revealed that Carlson suffered a fractured skull and a severed temporal artery in […]

Josh Anderson Out On Thursday

Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson (lower body) hasn't joined the team for Thursday's trip to Boston and will miss his third game of the season. The 28-year-old was injured in Tuesday's contest against Tampa Bay. Mike Hoffman is set to move into the top six in Anderson's absence. The veteran has had an underwhelming […]

Oliver Ekman-Larsson Not Expected To Return This Season

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson (ankle) isn't expected to return this season. He has been nursing an ankle sprain since Feb. 15 and Ekman-Larsson will be forced to wrap up his season after playing in only 54 games. He posted 22 points with 90 shots, 58 hits and 43 blocks. The 31-year was also an […]

Scottie Barnes Could Be Out Again Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (wrist) could be unavailable for a second consecutive game on Friday against Detroit.

Precious Achiuwa Regarded As Questionable For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday and could be out for a second consecutive game Friday against the Pistons, with him being regarded as questionable for the matchup.

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable For Friday

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Gary Trent Jr. (elbow) is considered questionable for Friday's contest against Detroit. He could be out for a second consecutive game after missing Wednesday's battle versus Indiana. The team was also without Scottie Barnes (wrist) on Wednesday and Will Barton ended up entering the starting unit. He didn't do a lot in […]

Norman Powell Misses A Ninth Consecutive Game

Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward Norman Powell (shoulder) will miss a ninth straight game Thursday against the Thunder. He was initially ruled out for a week with left shoulder subluxation, but it's now been three weeks since the last time he hit the court. The Clippers could really use Powell right now after Paul George (knee) […]

Mark Williams Remains Out On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) won't feature Thursday against the Pelicans. He sprained his right thumb a couple of weeks ago and it's robbed him of five games already. Williams has put in a number of impressive performances after Mason Plumlee was shipped off to Los Angeles. With him out, Nick Richards has assumed […]

Mitchell Robinson Questionable For Thursday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Orlando. The 24-year-old had a good time versus Miami on Wednesday with 10 points, eight rebounds and three blocks, but it looks like Robinson also injured his right knee in the contest. Isaiah Hartenstein is set to move to the […]
