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. This was an impressive performance from a guy who hadn't played since Mar. 12. Getting game action is difficult for Stolarz whilst John Gibson stays healthy, but […]

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 […]

Lawson Crouse Set To Miss The Rest Of The Season

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.

Alexei Toropchenko filled […]

Edmonton Oilers right wing Zack Kassian will be back in the lineup Friday against St. Louis after spending a pair of games in the press box.

Matthew Boldy Sustains An Upper-Body Injury

Minnesota Wild winger Matthew Boldy had a great night cut short by an upper-body injury on Thursday against Pittsburgh. He tallied two assists in just 9:17 of action before being forced to leave.

Jason Zucker Suffers A Fresh Injury

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Jason Zucker ended a 30-game absence on Thursday against Minnesota but lasted just 5:33 before suffering a new injury. He appeared to have hurt his right leg.

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. It's the most assists a left wing has had in a single season, former Bruin Joe Juneau was the previous record holder with 70 helpers from 1992-93. Huberdeau bagged his assist on […]

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.

Nathan MacKinnon Returns To Action Thursday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (upper body) will be back in action on Thursday against San Jose after sitting out one game.

Carolina Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi has been ruled out for two to three weeks with a lower-body injury. He was hurt in Monday's 6-1 win over Washington and has already missed one game.

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. The former Flyers captain has had a very good start in Florida with five points across four appearances, but head coach Andrew Brunette had decided to shake up the lines a bit. 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. Boston signed McLaughlin to a two-year entry-level contract earlier in the month. He posted 32 points in 33 games with Boston College this season […]

Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat logged just 4:38 of action in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to St. Louis, exiting the game early with a non-COVID illness.

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid hit 100 points for the season on Wednesday with a goal and an assist in a 4-3 shootout victory over the Kings.
