Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith sustained a facial injury in Wednesday's loss to Sacramento.

Connor McDavid First To 40 Points

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid became the first player to hit 40 points in the NHL this season.

The Oilers captain has now reached the […]

Max Domi Notches Two Power-Play Goals

Chicago Blackhawks forward Max Domi scored a pair of power-play goals in the third period of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Edmonton. He helped the team to battle back from a 4-1 deficit, but Domi's big performance still wasn't enough to get at least a point on the board from the contest. The 27-year-old led his […]

Logan Couture Stays Hot With An Assist

San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture added an assist to his tally in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Toronto, capping off November with 16 points in total.

Chris Kreider Finishes Off Ottawa

New York Rangers winger Chris Kreider potted another goal Wednesday, completing the scoring in a 3-1 victory over Ottawa. He recorded five shots in total and had three hits with a plus-two rating in 17:40 of ice time. The team is going through a struggling time, but you wouldn't say so based on Kreider's numbers. […]

Filip Hronek Finishes November With 14 Points

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Filip Hronek tallied two assists in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Buffalo, finishing November with 14 points.

Detroit Red Wings winger Tyler Bertuzzi hurt his left hand and wasn't available for overtime in Wednesday's 5-4 shootout loss to Buffalo. He took a shot to the hand late in the third period. The team didn't provide an update on Bertuzzi after the game, but it looks like he could be set for a […]

Calvin Petersen Placed On Waivers

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Calvin Petersen was placed on waivers Wednesday. This is a very surprising move from the team, considering that Petersen has only just started the first season of a three-year deal worth $15 million, but his $5 million cap hit makes it very unlikely that somebody claims him. Petersen earned the nice […]

John Marino Considered Day-To-Day

New Jersey Devils defenseman John Marino missed Wednesday's practice with an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day. The team returns to action Thursday against Nashville and Marino could miss his first game of the season.

Josh Bailey Dealing With An Upper-Body Injury

New York Islanders winger Josh Bailey is nursing an upper-body injury.

Ilya Lyubushkin Unavailable Wednesday

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin (undisclosed) will come out of the lineup Wednesday versus Detroit.

Vincent Trocheck A Game-Time Call Wednesday

New York Rangers center Vincent Trocheck (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's matchup versus Ottawa. He's in danger of missing his first game of the season with a health issue the team hasn't specified. Trocheck's work this season includes eight goals and seven assists in 23 games. He already dropped down to the third […]

Ilya Samsonov Returns To Action Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov (knee) will go back to work Wednesday versus San Jose. He will be between the sticks for the first time since Nov. 5. Samsonov's return has led to Erik Kallgren being sent to the AHL and fantasy managers should also drop him. The Russian netminder will be sharing goaltending […]

Kris Letang Out Indefinitely Following A Stroke

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang suffered a stroke on Monday and will be out indefinitely. He surprisingly didn't appear in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Carolina and now we know why. Luckily, it's not expected to be a long-term thing and it's not career-threatening either. Letang also suffered a stroke in 2014, but he […]

CJ McCollum Ruled Out For Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard CJ McCollum (conditioning) won't play Wednesday versus Toronto. He has cleared health and safety protocols, but McCollum needs to work on his conditioning before returning to action.

Gabe Vincent Set To Return Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent (knee) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against Boston. He has been dealing with a left knee issue and is regarded as questionable, but Vincent took part in the shootaround and is expected to play. The 26-year-old has missed five of the past six games. Vincent has been […]

Tyler Herro Again Listed As Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Boston. He recently returned from a left ankle sprain, but Herro has found himself back on the injury report with the same problem. It's a worrying situation for fantasy managers, but Herro hasn't missed any of the last three games despite carrying the […]

Jaylen Brown Questionable Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (neck) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup versus Miami. He sat out Monday's games against Charlotte with neck stiffness and could now miss a second consecutive game. Grant Williams entered the starting unit versus the Hornets and should remain there if Brown stays out. Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart carried the […]

He produced five shots on target and scored the game's first two goals. Ovechkin's second one marked his 403rd road goal and that's a new league record. It's another milestone […]

Dillon Dube Leads The Charge With Three Points

Calgary Flames winger Dillon Dube was the team's most productive player in Tuesday's 6-2 win over Florida, registering a goal and two assists. He opened the scoring with a short-handed tally and then helped Rasmus Andersson and Andrew Mangiapane to light the lamp. Entering the season, Dube was a popular breakout candidate, but it's not […]

Connor Hellebuyck Shuts Out Colorado

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck had all the answers for the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, stopping 40 shots on his way to his third shutout of the season. Things started off quite routinely for him, with Colorado registering nine first-period shots, but Hellebuyck was then forced to face a real barrage in an eventual 5-0 […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Nullifies Montreal

San Jose Sharks goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen recorded his third career shutout on Tuesday with a 28-save effort in a 4-0 win over Montreal. It's his first-ever shutout in a road contest.
