Aleksander Barkov A Game-Time Call Thursday

Florida Panthers center Aleksander Barkov (hand) is a game-time decision for Thursday's matchup against San Jose.

Panthers head coach Paul Maurice initially suggested that Barkov will be fine for Thursday, but he has now called Barkov […]

Filip Chytil On Four-Game Goal Streak

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil will enter Wednesday's action versus Vancouver with a four-game goal streak. Skating on the third line with Alexis Lafreniere and Kaapo Kakko, he has totaled six goals overall during the run and has matched his best point streak of the season. The 23-year-old has amassed 31 points in 42 […]

Joel Kiviranta Out With A Lower-Body Injury

Dallas Stars winger Joel Kiviranta is set to miss some time with a lower-body injury. He will sit out his first game of the season Wednesday versus Minnesota, with Marian Studenic coming into the lineup to replace him. It's a change on the fourth line and should have very little effect on the team's play. […]

Ryan Hartman Back On Top Line Wednesday

Minnesota Wild forward Ryan Hartman will return to the top line in Wednesday's game against the Stars. He had a breakout campaign in the role last season but has struggled for form in 2022-23. However, with the first line having struggled in recent times, Wild head coach Dave Evason is giving Hartman another shot with […]

Jonas Brodin Out On Wednesday

Minnesota Wild defenseman Jonas Brodin (lower body) won't play Wednesday against Dallas. He suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's meeting with Arizona and has failed to recover in time. Brodin scored his second goal of the season Monday and has registered eight points across 43 games. It's not been a great year for him offensively, […]

Robert Williams III Downgraded To Questionable

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's clash with Philadelphia. He is dealing with a sprained left ankle and was initially probable for the contest, but the change in his status leaves a big question mark hanging over Williams III's head ahead of the mouth-watering matchup. Al Horford […]

Al Horford Questionable On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Sixers. The veteran has missed only two games since Dec. 16 and played 33 minutes last time out against the Pistons, but he is a late addition to the injury report with right knee swelling, which isn't a great sign […]

Jaylen Brown Good To Go Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (illness) will return to the lineup Wednesday against Philadelphia. He sat out the last game against Detroit with an illness but has now recovered well enough to play. Sam Hauser logged a start and put in an impressive performance in Brown's absence against the Pistons but will head back to […]

Jeremy Sochan Misses Another Game Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs power forward Jeremy Sochan (back) will remain sidelined for Wednesday's clash with the Raptors. He's having trouble with his back and won't be available for a third straight game. Sochan had a couple of really strong weeks before getting injured, so the timing is very unfortunate. He was previously regarded as doubtful […]

Tre Jones Remains Out Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tre Jones (foot) will miss a third consecutive game Wednesday versus Toronto. He was initially questionable for the game, but the team has now ruled out Jones, who will have his next chance to return Friday against Detroit. Malaki Branham has jumped into the starting lineup in Jones' absence, averaging […]

Donovan Mitchell Questionable Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (groin) could be forced to sit out Wednesday's game against Detroit, with the team regarding him as questionable for the contest. He is bothered by left groin soreness and having some time off might actually benefit Mitchell, as he has averaged only 14.6 points across his past five appearances. Caris […]

Darius Garland Questionable For Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Detroit. Garland has been in superb form lately but could miss his 10th game of the season as he is nursing right thumb soreness. The potential absence of Garland could give Ricky Rubio his first start of the season and […]

Evgeni Malkin Bags Two Assists

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin collected two assists in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime victory against Colorado. The Penguins were heading for a 26th defeat of the season late in regulation before Bryan Rust scored and Kris Letang won them the game 3:36 into overtime. Malkin recorded his second consecutive multi-point game, and he's on an impressive […]

John Klingberg Tallies Two Assists Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman John Klingberg recorded two assists as the team continued its hot spell with a 3-2 overtime victory against Chicago Tuesday. He combined with Jayson Megna to help Brett Leason tie the game at one in the second period and teamed up with Isac Lundestrom to set up Frank Vatrano for the game-winning […]

Nikita Kucherov Extends Home Point Streak

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov had two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss against San Jose to extend his home point streak to 16 games. Both of his helpers came in the first period on Brayden Point's goals and Kucherov logged one on the power play. The Russian winger has matched his own […]

Andre Burakovsky Goes Down On First Shift

Seattle Kraken winger Andre Burakovsky saw his night end extremely early Tuesday versus the Islanders, as he suffered a lower-body injury during his first shift of the game. Burakovsky ended up spending only 21 seconds on the time. Ryan Donato replaced him on the first line and eventually led all forwards in the game with […]

Nick Paul Hurt In Tuesday's Game

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nick Paul suffered an undisclosed injury in Tuesday's clash with the Sharks, exiting the game in the second period. He managed to log 9:13 of ice time and was plus-one for the game before leaving. Lightning head coach Jon Cooper didn't have any updates on Paul's status after the game. The […]

Troy Terry Out Day-To-Day

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry (upper body) missed his first game of the season Tuesday against Chicago and is considered day-to-day. He was injured Monday versus Dallas and Derek Grant replace him in the lineup Tuesday, while Ryan Strome hopped on Terry's spot on the first line. The Ducks will now be off for […]

Pavel Francouz In Avalanche Net Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz will be guarding the crease in Tuesday's road outing against the Penguins. He has been sharing starts with Alexandar Georgiev lately and gets the nod for the 15th time this season. The 32-year-old had a pretty bad start to the campaign, but he's been rolling in recent weeks with three […]

Bowen Byram Ready To Go Tuesday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram (lower body) will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Pittsburgh. He's had a long road to recovery from a lower-body injury and will skate in his first game since Nov. 4. Byram will go on the third defensive pairing with Brad Hunt. The 21-year-old has played in […]

Tristan Jarry Remains Unavailable Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry (upper body) continues to work his way back from injury and still needs more time to recover as the team gets set to resume the season Tuesday versus Colorado. The Penguins No. 1 has been unavailable for 10 of the last 12 games. Jarry's continued absence means another start for […]

Kasperi Kapanen Returns To Action Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Kasperi Kapanen (lower body) will be welcomed back to the lineup Tuesday against Colorado. He is returning after missing five games with a lower-body problem, and Kapanen is projected to skate on the third line with Brock McGinn and Jeff Carter. The Finnish winger has struggled to stay productive this season, […]

Kevin Labanc Set To Sit Again Tuesday

San Jose Sharks winger Kevin Labanc will miss another game as a healthy scratch Tuesday against Tampa Bay. He was also kept out of the lineup for the final game ahead of the All-Star break and Labanc even had a four-game spell in the press box in January, so things aren't looking great for him […]

Zach Whitecloud A Game-Time Call Tuesday

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Tuesday's clash with Nashville. He's missed nearly two months of action, going down with a lower-body injury on Dec. 11 against Boston. Whitecloud skated in 30 games before his injury, recording six points, 26 shots, 50 hits and 56 blocks. […]

Troy Terry Questionable For Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks right wing Troy Terry exited Monday's game against Dallas early with an upper-body injury and his status for Tuesday's matchup versus Chicago is unclear.

Brook Lopez Leads Bucks In Scoring Monday

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez shot 9-for-12 from the field and became the team's top scorer with 29 points in Monday's 127-108 road victory over Portland.

Klay Thompson Has 12 Triples, Torches OKC For 42 Points

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Klay Thompson looked like he came straight out of a video game on Monday against Oklahoma City, hitting 12-for-16 from downtown en route to 42 points in a 141-114 win. He was 15-for-22 overall from the field and completed his work with three rebounds and one assist. Thompson now has eight […]

Keegan Murray Ends Slump With Career-High 30 Points

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray broke out of a slump with a career-high 30 points in Monday's 140-120 win over Houston. After posting only seven points in his first three February appearances, Murray started quietly again but eventually hit his stride and even ended up setting a franchise record for most triples made in a […]

Nicolas Claxton Does It All For Brooklyn Monday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton continued his breakthrough campaign with a good all-around effort against the Clippers on Monday, recording 15 points on 5-for-8 shooting with 16 rebounds, one assist, two steals and three blocks. The 23-year-old has been a big defensive presence all year for the Nets and he's also become a consistent scorer […]
