Montreal Canadiens forward Rem Pitlick will be part of the first line with Cole Caufield and Nick Suzuki Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Anthony Stolarz Shuts Out Arizona

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Anthony Stolarz picked up his third shutout of the season in Friday's 5-0 win over Arizona, stopping all 22 shots that were sent his way.

Edmonton Oilers winger Evander Kane ended a three-game dry spell with a goal and two assists in Friday's 6-5 overtime victory against the Blues.

Buffalo Sabres forward Tage Thompson scored twice in Friday's 4-3 win over Nashville to reach 30 goals for the campaign. Alex Tuch picked up assists on both plays.

Ilya Sorokin Remains Sidelined

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin (upper body) has resumed skating, but he remains unavailable for Friday's Battle of New York against the Rangers. Sorokin has missed two games after getting injured last weekend in a 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay. He's been a rock for the Islanders this season with a 22-14-7 record and […]

Logan Thompson Continues To Start For Vegas

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson will earn another start Friday against Seattle. Robin Lehner is back healthy again and backed up Thompson Wednesday against the Kraken, but the 25-year-old rookie produced his first career shutout in a 3-0 win, and as we all know, it's not wise to try to fix things that aren't […]

Arizona Coyotes winger Lawson Crouse (hand) is set to miss the rest of the season. He reportedly broke a bone in his hand while blocking a shot in Monday's 6-1 loss to Edmonton and will need at least four weeks to recover. It's a real shame, as Crouse was having a nice campaign with 20 […]

Jordan Kyrou Questionable For Friday

St. Louis Blues forward Jordan Kyrou (illness) is considered questionable for Friday's encounter with the Oilers.

Jonathan Huberdeau Sets NHL Record With 71st Assist

Florida Panthers left wing Jonathan Huberdeau became a history maker with his 71st assist of the season in Thursday's 4-0 win over Chicago.

Denis Gurianov Scratched For Thursday

Dallas Stars winger Denis Gurianov will watch Thursday's game against Anaheim in the press box as a healthy scratch.

Sam Reinhart Replaces Claude Giroux On Top Line

Florida Panthers forward Sam Reinhart will join the first line for Thursday's matchup against Chicago, replacing Claude Giroux.

Giroux will center the second […]

Petr Mrazek Set To Miss Six Weeks

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) has been ruled out for at least six weeks. The Czech netminder has suffered a number of groin injuries throughout the season and sadly picked up another one in Tuesday's 6-4 win over Boston. The six-week layoff means that Mrazek is done for the regular season and will […]

Craig Smith Out With An Illness

Boston Bruins right wing Craig Smith will sit out Thursday's game against New Jersey with an illness. Marc McLaughlin will make his NHL debut in his place on the third line.
