Victor Hedman Unlikely To Play Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (undisclosed) is set to miss a second consecutive game Thursday versus Vegas. He got hurt last weekend and missed Tuesday's clash with the Flyers, and despite returning to practice, Hedman doesn't appear to be ready to return just yet. The star defenseman hasn't really hit his high standards this […]

Trevor Moore Returns For Kings Thursday

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore (upper body) will be back from a seven-game absence Thursday against the Avalanche. Injuries have accompanied Moore throughout the campaign and Thursday will mark only his 43rd appearance of the season. The 27-year-old has posted seven goals and 13 assists with 123 shots on net and 44 hits. Moore […]

Kirill Kaprizov Ruled Out For 3-4 Weeks

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) has been ruled out for three to four weeks. He suffered a lower-body injury against Winnipeg on Wednesday, and it looks like Kaprizov will now sit out a minimum of 10 games. It's an awful blow for the team, as Kaprizov is by far the best scorer […]

Sean Durzi Out On Thursday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Sean Durzi (undisclosed) will sit out Thursday's game against Colorado. He was injured Monday against Washington and will be unavailable for the fourth time this season. Durzi has been an effective player at both ends of the ice, so it won't be easy to replace him. Sean Walker will likely take […]

Philip Tomasino Back In Action Thursday

Nashville Predators right wing Philip Tomasino (upper body) is set to return to the lineup Thursday against Arizona. The 21-year-old was forced to miss Monday's game against Vancouver with an upper-body injury but has recovered quickly and will play his 11th game of the season. Tomasino has done pretty well in limited action, posting two […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Out Again Thursday

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hip) will miss a third consecutive contest Thursday against Utah. He's feeling pain in his left hip and playing basketball in such a predicament clearly isn't a good idea. Fantasy managers should focus on Moritz Wagner until Carter Jr. is healthy enough to return. He has started the last […]

Aaron Nesmith Questionable For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Aaron Nesmith (hip) could miss a third consecutive game Thursday against Houston, as the team considers him questionable for the contest. The 23-year-old is recovering from a sore left hip. Nesmith is far from a household name, but he has been starting regularly for the Pacers since mid-December, putting in decent work. […]

Kevin Porter Jr. Sits Out Thursday's Action

Houston Rockets point guard Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) won't play Thursday against Indiana. A bruised thigh kept him out of Wednesday's practice and Porter Jr. sadly has to sit out Thursday's contest just a week after returning from a 20-game absence. Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun get a usage bump with Porter Jr. sidelines, while […]

Killian Hayes On Track To Return Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hand) is set to return from a two-game absence Thursday versus the Hornets, with the team listing him as probable for the contest. The 21-year-old has been nursing a left hand contusion. Cory Joseph has had a couple of busy nights in Hayes' absence but will have to settle for […]

Alec Burks Remains Unavailable Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Alec Burks (foot) will miss a second consecutive game Thursday against Charlotte. Burks is bothered by a sore left foot and will be unavailable for a third time in four games. The 31-year-old has had a good year in Motown, averaging 12.8 points in 22.0 minutes. Cory Joseph, R.J. Hampton and Rodney […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Out For A Fourth Consecutive Game

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (Achilles) has been officially ruled out for a fourth consecutive game Thursday. Some reports are even suggesting that Bogdanovic won't feature at all this season anymore, so we might have seen the last of him in 2022-23. The veteran has enjoyed his first year in Detroit, leading the Pistons with […]

Jrue Holiday Back On Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (neck) will be back from a one-game absence Thursday against the Nets. He was already probable for the contest and it's now official that Holiday has recovered well enough from neck soreness to take the court. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) having been ruled out of the contest, Holiday is […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Ruled Out Thursday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (hand) has been ruled out for Thursday's meeting with Brooklyn. He was initially probable for the contest with a non-COVID illness and a knee issue, but Giannis has now hurt his right hand and it forces him to sit out a second consecutive game. His absence should result in another […]

Gabriel Landeskog May Miss The Entire Season

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog (knee) has resumed skating but may not be able to return this season. Colorado head coach Jared Bednar is even worried that the Avalanche captain might not be able to play on an elite level again. Landeskog, who has yet to play in 2022-23, had two knee surgeries in seven […]

Andrei Kuzmenko Maintains Superb Goal-Scoring Form

Vancouver Canucks winger Andrei Kuzmenko scored his eighth goal in 10 games Wednesday when the team beat the Ducks 3-2 in overtime. He had the team's second goal 14:23 into the second period, moving to 30 goals for the season. Only the departed Bo Horvat (31) has scored more in a Canuck uniform this season. […]

Elias Pettersson Has Two Assists In Canucks Win

Vancouver Canucks center Elias Pettersson reached 51 assists for the season with a pair of helpers in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime win against the Ducks. He logged a short-handed assist on a J.T. Miller goal and also had one in an even-strength situation when Andrei Kuzmenko scored. Pettersson (8) now trails only Pavel Bure (9) and […]

J.T. Miller Delivers Two Goals On Wednesday

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller produced two goals as the team snuck past Anaheim in overtime 3-2 Wednesday night. He put the Canucks on the board with a short-handed tally in the first period and provided the game-winner with just 20 seconds played in the extra frame. Not a bad way to celebrate your 700th […]

Taylor Raddysh Nets Two Goals Wednesday

Chicago Blackhawks winger Taylor Raddysh scored two goals in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat to Detroit. He notched both of his goals in the first period -- one on the power play -- to put Chicago up 2-0, but the Red Wings battled back in impressive style after the first intermission. With Max Domi and Patrick Kane […]

Robby Fabbri Exits With A Lower-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings winger Robby Fabbri sustained a lower-body injury in Wednesday's game against Chicago. He was seen limping late in the first period and didn't return to the ice after the first intermission. Fabbri has had three knee surgeries, so hopefully, it's a different kind of injury. The 27-year-old has tallied seven goals and […]

Kirill Kaprizov Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's encounter with Winnipeg. He had to exit the game in the third period after Jets defenseman Logan Stanley fell on his leg. Kaprizov ended up with 14:50 of ice time and jumped to 74 points for the season with an assist. There were […]

Thatcher Demko Takes On Goal-Shy Ducks

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will log his 19th start of the season as the team hosts Anaheim on Wednesday night. Following an impressive 4-1 victory over Toronto at the weekend, Demko is looking to register back-to-back victories for the first time this season. He gets to do it against the second-worst offense in the […]

Alex Stalock Makes A Second Consecutive Start

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Alex Stalock will make a second consecutive start Wednesday versus Detroit. He beat Ottawa in impressive fashion on Monday, stopping 35 shots in a 5-0 victory. It was his second shutout of the season and Stalock improved to 7-7-1 for the year. He has registered a 2.60 goals-against average and a .921 […]

Connor Hellebuyck Meets The Wild Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will make his 49th start of the season in a meeting with the Minnesota Wild Wednesday. He's gone 0-2-0 in the matchup this season with a 4.52 goals-against average and Hellebuyck's most recent outings haven't gone too well either. He won his previous start against Edmonton but gave up five […]

John Carlson Rejoins Team In Practice

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson (face) skated with the team Wednesday for the first time since taking a slap shot to the head in a game in December. It's a positive sign that he was able to work with the team again, but Carlson wore a non-contact jersey and he still isn't close to returning […]

Cam Talbot Set To Miss Three Weeks

Ottawa Senators goaltender Cam Talbot will sit out the next three weeks of action to recover from a lower-body injury. He was a very late scratch for Monday's contest against Chicago and the injury will likely cause Talbot to miss 12 more games. With Anton Forsberg (knee) also out, Ottawa's playoff hopes will now hinge […]

Pierre-Luc Dubois A Game-Time Call Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets center Pierre-Luc Dubois (lower body) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. He returned from a three-game absence Monday versus San Jose, but a lower-body injury continues to bother Dubois and it looks like he could be out again Wednesday. The 24-year-old has gone scoreless in all of his past four […]

Tony DeAngelo Suspended For Two Games

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo has received a two-game suspension for a spearing incident that occurred in Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay. He was handed a major penalty and a game misconduct for spearing Corey Perry below the belt in a scrum. DeAngelo will be sitting out Thursday's meeting with Carolina and Saturday's game against […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play On Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will sit out Wednesday's contest against New Orleans. He's just come back from a serious hamstring injury and the team will give him a night off after Kleber played 26 minutes Tuesday versus Utah. With JaVale McGee (ankle) remaining out and Reggie Bullock (quadriceps) unlikely to play after getting […]

Monte Morris Questionable On Wednesday

Washington Wizards point guard Monte Morris (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He has missed six straight games with a lower back problem and it's far from certain that he can return on Wednesday, as the team has listed Morris as questionable for prior games as well. Delon Wright has been starting in […]

Kevin Love Upgraded To Probable Wednesday

Miami Heat forward/center Kevin Love (ribs) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland. He missed Monday's clash with Atlanta due to a right rib contusion and the team initially listed Love as questionable for Wednesday. The veteran has suited up for Miami six times since joining the club on Feb. 24, […]
