Semyon Varlamov Starts On Monday Versus Penguins

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov is the team's starter for Monday's road outing in Pittsburgh. The Russian will enter the contest having gone 1-2-2 against the Penguins this season, so he's had a poor run in the matchup. Varlamov's overall record stands at 14-6-3. He's had a very good season, giving up only 2.19 […]

Mike Smith Looks To Turn Tide In Matchup Against Toronto

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will roll out for the team in Monday's meeting with Toronto. The veteran netminder has had a tough time against the Leafs this season, going 0-2-1 with a 3.80 goals-against average and a .867 save percentage. Smith has lost just once against all the other teams in the league, which […]

Michael Hutchinson Makes Seventh Start Of The Year

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Michael Hutchinson will be the team's starter in Monday's home game against Edmonton.

Jason Zucker Set To Return To Action Monday Night

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Jason Zucker (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and looks set to rejoin the lineup for Monday's clash with the Islanders.

Tristan Jarry Aims For Second Consecutive Win Versus Islanders

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will go for a second consecutive win against the New York Islanders on Monday. He beat the Isles on Saturday 6-3 with a 29-save effort.

Linus Ullmark Likely Sabres Starter On Monday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Linus Ullmark is likely to earn a 14th start of the season in Monday's matchup against Philadelphia. It will be his second outing since returning from a month-long absence due to injury. Ullmark has been pretty solid this season with a 5-5-2 record, but the team is having a horrible time with […]

Brian Elliott Faces Struggling Sabres

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott will start against the slumping Sabres on Monday. Buffalo has lost 17 straight games and is closing in on a league record. Elliott is responsible for two of the losses, and he has a perfect 3-0-0 record against the Sabres this season with a 0.92 goals-against average and a .967 […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was in double-double form on Sunday, finishing a 96-93 win over the Magic with 21 points and 11 rebounds.

Dennis Schroder Leads Lakers With 24 Points

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Dennis Schroder scored a team-high 24 points in Sunday's low-scoring 96-93 win over Orlando.

Trae Young Has 21 Points In Losing Effort

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored a game-high 21 points in Sunday's 126-102 loss to Denver, shooting 8-for-14 from the field and 3-for-7 from downtown.

Aaron Gordon Scores 13 Points In Nuggets Debut

Denver Nuggets power forward Aaron Gordon finished his team debut with 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting on Sunday, logging 21 minutes in a home win versus Atlanta.

Aaron Ekblad Leaves Game On Stretcher

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad had his night cut short by an apparent left leg injury in Sunday's 4-1 win over Dallas. He got tangled up with Esa Lindell in the middle of the second frame and landed awkwardly. Ekblad had to be stretchered off and sadly it looked like a season-ending injury. The 24-year-old […]

Jason Robertson Stays Productive With Power-Play Goal

Dallas Stars left wing Jason Robertson tallied a power-play goal in Sunday's 4-1 home loss to Florida, reaching 15 points for the month. Only five rookies in franchise history have managed to produce a more productive month. Robertson now sits on six goals and 21 points for the season with 58 shots and a plus-two […]

Jonathan Huberdeau Notches Three Points In Sunday's Win

Florida Panthers left wing Jonathan Huberdeau factored in three goals on Sunday against Dallas, helping his team to a 4-1 victory with two goals and one assist.

Adin Hill Holds Down The Fort For Arizona

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Adin Hill will enter next week on a three-game winning streak after ending Colorado's winning run at seven games and beating San Jose in back-to-back starts.

Nils Hoglander Enjoying Ride On Top Line

Vancouver Canucks winger Nils Hoglander was worked his way up to the top line and has been in fine form as of late, going pointless just once in the past five games. It was in a game where the whole team got neutralized as Winnipeg beat the Canucks 4-0 on Monday. Hoglander has seven goals […]

Andrew Copp Looks To Carry Good Momentum Into Next Week

Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Copp will carry some very good momentum into next week, having gone pointless just once in five games and even producing a big four-goal performance in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Vancouver. The 26-year-old is a third-liner in Winnipeg, but he even has two four-point efforts to his name this season, bagging […]

Luke Kunin Returns In Top-Six Role

Nashville Predators forward Luke Kunin returned from a lower-body injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago and was productive straight away with two assists. He skated on the team's second line with Calle Jarnkrok and Mikael Granlund, while also earning minutes on the first power-play unit. Kunin, who missed a month of action, has modest […]

Joonas Donskoi Cashing In On Dominant Colorado Team

Colorado Avalanche winger Joonas Donskoi is on a hot streak with the team dominating, having scored in back-to-back outings to register 10 points in eight games. Playing as a third-liner, Donskoi hasn't garnered a lot of attention from fantasy managers, so he remains available in most leagues despite his great form. The Finnish winger will […]

Roope Hintz Keeps Racking Up Points When Healthy

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz is carrying a niggling lower-body injury, but he's been very productive in limited game action this month, notching 11 points in nine appearances prior to Sunday's meeting with Florida. He has recorded six goals and three multi-point performances in March. Hintz again missed a game on Saturday, but he's centering […]

Zach Aston-Reese Filling Top-Six Role As Injuries Pile Up

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Zach Aston-Reese is currently skating as a top-six forward with the team missing multiple regulars. He finished this week with a pair of pointless efforts but had a strong start with a two-point outing and should see more success in the upcoming games. The 26-year-old demonstrated a good nose for the goal […]

James van Riemsdyk, Flyers Set To Start Firing Again

Philadelphia Flyers left wing James van Riemsdyk has hit a wall in recent weeks, but he'll be in a perfect spot to regain his scoring form at the start of next week. The Flyers start the action with a pair of games against Buffalo on Monday and Wednesday. The Sabres will enter the week on […]

Oliver Wahlstrom Provides Good Scoring From Third Line

New York Islanders right wing Oliver Wahlstrom has quietly had a couple of very strong weeks, notching five goals in eight games. He was also riding a five-game point streak before the Penguins neutralized the 20-year-old on Saturday. Wahlstrom has nine goals and 16 points for the campaign with 57 shots and 32 hits in […]

St. Louis Blues Head Into Two-Game Week

The St. Louis Blues will be the only team in the NHL with a two-game slate for next week and they won't see any game action before Friday, which is awful news for fantasy managers who have rostered Blues players. The light schedule makes the team's bottom-tier players expendable and fantasy managers should closely look around […]

Thanasis Antetokounmpo Notches 23 Points Saturday Night

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo led all scorers with 23 points in Saturday's 102-96 loss to the Knicks, shooting 8-for-15 from the field and a really nice 4-for-5 from downtown.

RJ Barrett Has Busy Night Versus Bucks

New York Knicks shooting guard RJ Barrett popped up everywhere in Saturday's 102-96 win over Milwaukee, picking up 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal. His shooting could've been better, though, as he went 8-for-22 from the field and 3-for-10 from outside. The Knicks were without Julius Randle (thigh), which put more offensive […]

Alec Burks Extends Scoring Streak

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks made it five straight games with 20-plus points in Saturday's win over Milwaukee, shooting 6-for-12 from downtown en route to 21 points. He put in a lot of work in other areas as well, finishing with 10 rebounds, five assists and two blocks. The Knicks have won four of […]
