Kevin Shattenkirk Exits With A Lower-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota. The veteran blue-liner was able to skate for only 7:08 in the game. Fellow rearguard Nathan Beaulieu also exited with an undisclosed injury, so the Ducks were forced to end the game with four defensemen. Shattenkirk is definitely the more […]

Tanner Pearson Exits Wednesday's Game With Injury

Vancouver Canucks left wing Tanner Pearson made an early exit Wednesday against Montreal after suffering an undisclosed injury. He skated for 6:17 and collected four penalty minutes with two hits, one shot and a minus-two rating. Another bad night means that Pearson boasts just one point in his last eight outings. The 30-year-old clearly needs […]

John Carlson, Dmitry Orlov Remain Sidelined Wednesday

Washington Capitals defensemen John Carlson (lower body) and Dmitry Orlov (lower body) will remain out of the lineup Wednesday versus Pittsburgh despite being present at the morning skate. Carlson has sat out five games, while Orlov missed Monday's 5-4 win over Edmonton. Erik Gustafsson had a three-point performance against the Oilers and will continue to […]

Jeff Carter A Game-Time Decision For Wednesday

Pittsburgh Penguins center Jeff Carter (lower body) is regarded as a game-time decision for Wednesday's battle with the Capitals. He has been on the shelf for three games with a lower-body problem, but it appears that the veteran is getting ready to return to the lineup, as he has ditched the non-contact jersey in practice. […]

Jordan Greenway Comes Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Minnesota Wild left wing Jordan Greenway will sit out Wednesday's meeting with Anaheim.

Adam Henrique Misses Wednesday's Action For Personal Reasons

Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique won't be in the lineup for personal reasons Wednesday versus Minnesota. He and his wife are set to welcome a baby into the world.

Jerami Grant Downgraded To Questionable

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's visit to Charlotte.

The 22-year-old played his first two […]

Anfernee Simons Listed As Probable Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's clash with the Hornets.

Detroit Pistons forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) will miss another game Wednesday versus Boston.

Valeri Nichushkin Set To Miss A Month After Ankle Surgery

Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin has undergone ankle surgery and isn't expected to play for around a month.

Rasmus Ristolainen Back In Flyers Lineup Tuesday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen will get back into the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis after sitting out one game as a healthy scratch.
