Filip Chytil Out Of Action For A Week

New York Rangers forward Filip Chytil (upper body) will be out for at least a week after he left Sunday's loss to Columbus with an injury. He took a hit to the head during his very first shift and wasn't able to continue. Chytil ended up logging just 11 seconds on the ice. The Czech […]

Reggie Jackson Struggling With A Groin Problem

Donovan Mitchell Has A Big Night Against Washington

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell put on a show in Sunday's 117-107 overtime win against Washington, leading all scorers with 37 points on 12-for-29 shooting.

Quinn Hughes Doesn't Practice On Sunday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes (undisclosed) sat out Saturday's loss to Buffalo and wasn't at Sunday's practice either. The team considers him day-to-day, so luckily Hughes isn't dealing with anything serious, but his participation in Monday's matchup against Carolina is questionable. The Canucks, who remain winless for the season, gave up five goals against the […]

Josh Bailey Re-Enters Islanders Lineup

New York Islanders winger Josh Bailey will be back in the lineup Sunday against Florida after sitting out Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay as a healthy scratch. Bailey, who has been a solid scorer throughout his 14-year career, has struggled offensively so far this season and head coach Lane Lambert decided to give him a […]

Vitali Kravtsov Returns To Action

New York Rangers right wing Vitali Kravtsov (upper body) will return to action on Sunday against Columbus. The talented Russian returns from a four-game absence, having gotten hurt just three shifts into the team's season opener on Oct. 11. Kravtsov will slot into the third line and replace Jimmy Vesey in the lineup. The ninth […]

Justin Danforth Sits Out Sunday

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Justin Danforth (upper body) won't be available for Sunday's clash with the Rangers. The 29-year-old impressed this week on the third line by scoring in back-to-back games, but he was injured in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh and hasn't been able to recover in time for Sunday's outing. Danforth's absence will […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Returns From Suspension

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov has served a one-game suspension and will be back in the lineup Saturday against the Kings.

The Russian centerman had an eventful night against the […]

Denis Gurianov Earns Promotion To Second Line

Dallas Stars winger Denis Gurianov will be rolling with the second line Saturday night against Montreal. The 25-year-old has started the 2022-23 campaign with a four-game scoring drought, but he impressed Thursday against Toronto and now gets a chance to play a bigger role. Ty Dellandrea has previously skated on the second line with Tyler […]

Quinn Hughes A Game-Time Call For Saturday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes is dealing with an undisclosed ailment and is regarded as a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against Buffalo. The tireless blue-liner missed the morning skate and could be forced to take a seat for the first time this season. Hughes' absence would leave a huge hole in the Canucks backline, […]

Petr Mrazek Misses Saturday's Practice

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) wasn't in Saturday's practice after getting hurt in Friday's 4-3 win against Detroit. He exited the game with a groin problem after two periods of play. The Czech netminder didn't have a very good night against his former team, allowing three goals on 18 shots. Alex Stalock had a […]

Philipp Grubauer Likely Out Sunday

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer suffered an undisclosed injury in Friday's 3-2 win over Colorado and it looks likely that he will miss Sunday's meeting with Chicago.

Jalen Smith Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. His night ended early Friday against the Spurs when he took a blow to the face, but he's actually listed as questionable with a sore right knee. He was also questionable for Friday's action with the same knee problem, so it […]

Darius Garland Misses Saturday's Action

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (eye) will sit out Saturday's game against Chicago. The talented playmaker injured his left eye in Wednesday's season opener against Toronto and needs some time to recover. The team has announced that Garland will be re-evaluated daily. With him on the shelf, Donovan Mitchell will likely see huge usage […]

Eric Gordon Out Against Milwaukee

Houston Rockets guard/forward Eric Gordon (groin) will sit out Saturday's game against the Bucks for maintenance purposes. The veteran sniper logged 36 minutes in Friday's loss against Memphis and he's getting time off to nurse a right groin problem. The Rockets are also missing Jae'Sean Tate (ankle), so Tari Eason or Kenyon Martin Jr. could […]

Bruno Fernando Misses Saturday's Contest

Houston Rockets center Bruno Fernando (knee) won't be available for Saturday's game against Milwaukee. The 24-year-old big man left Friday's loss to Memphis early with left knee soreness and it appears that it's still bothering him. All the hype has been around Alperen Sengun, but Fernando has started the season as Houston's starting center and […]

Al Horford Won't Play Saturday

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) is listed as out for Saturday's meeting with Orlando. The veteran center is dealing with lower back stiffness and won't play the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Jalen Suggs Ruled Out Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) will miss Saturday's clash with Boston after getting hurt Friday night. He managed to play just 16 minutes Friday against Atlanta, leaving the game with a right ankle sprain. Suggs' injury will likely elevate Cole Anthony to the starting five. He made his season debut off the bench Friday […]

Kawhi Leonard, John Wall Rested On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard and point guard John Wall won't be in the lineup on Saturday against the Kings. The team starts a back-to-back set and faces a much tougher matchup on Sunday against Phoenix, so the veteran stars get the night off. Both players got off to a solid start to the […]

Zach LaVine Good To Go Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Zach LaVine (knee) will make his season debut on Saturday against Cleveland after sitting out the first two games of the campaign. The two-time All-Star has been dealing with soreness and discomfort in his surgically repaired left knee and the team is carefully managing his workload. Alex Caruso has started in LaVine's […]
