Sean Monahan Has Chance To Find Form During Favorable Week

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan was dumped by a lot of fantasy managers in February following a bad run of form, but he gets a nice four-game week to start off March on the right foot.

Kirill Kaprizov, Wild Offense Set To Cool Down

Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov looks unstoppable these days, but as we all know, all good things have to come to an end. It's very likely to happen next week when Minnesota faces a pair of games against both Vegas and Arizona. The Wild enters the week on a six-game winning streak and the team […]

Slumping Anthony Mantha, Red Wings Start Two-Game Week

Detroit Red Wings winger Anthony Mantha entered Sunday's contest against Chicago on a seven-game point drought and he won't have a chance to be productive next week either, as the team has only two games scheduled; on Tuesday versus Columbus and on Thursday versus Carolina. Red Wings players should be ignored during a very light […]

Mark Scheifele Perfectly Placed To Start Another Point Streak

The Winnipeg Jets are set to start a four-game week, which features very favorable matchups that should help Mark Scheifele to start another point streak, and it will also boost the fantasy value of the team's other forwards.

Nashville Predators winger Eeli Tolvanen scored the game-winning goal on a power play in Sunday's 3-1 victory over Columbus. Erik Haula notched a short-handed goal and Nick Cousins found the net as well. Tolvanen has been Nashville's top prospect for years now, but he has failed to deliver until now. There are signs of the […]

Charlie Coyle Scores Twice In Sunday's Win

Boston Bruins forward Charlie Coyle produced two goals in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rangers, netting the first and last goal of the game. The latter was a short-handed tally.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns eased his way to a 23-11-5 line in Saturday's loss to Washington, shooting 7-for-19 from the field and 7-for-9 at the charity stipe, while adding three blocks. The shooting was a disappointment, but KAT can correct it quickly in Sunday's battle with Deandre Ayton and the Suns. It's an uncomfortable […]

Russell Westbrook Cruises To Another Triple-Double

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook notched an NBA-leading 10th triple-double of the season in Saturday's win over the Timberwolves, going for 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 12 assists with two steals and five turnovers in 32 minutes.

Bradley Beal Scores 34 Points In Saturday's Win

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had 34 points on 12-for-23 shooting in Saturday's win over Minnesota, adding eight rebounds, six assists, and one steal with three turnovers in 30 minutes.

Cale Makar Gets Sidelined Again

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's clash with the Coyotes. He looked fine and played a team-high 26:54 in Friday's 3-2 victory over Arizona but is now listed as day-to-day. He had just returned from an upper-body injury a week ago. Makar has 14 points through 15 […]

The 24-year-old has been in fantastic form lately, allowing two […]

Dylan Larkin Ruled Out For The Weekend

Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin has been ruled out for this weekend's action with an upper-body injury. The Wings will play a back-to-back set against Chicago. Larkin, who has 11 points for the season, is listed as day-to-day, so it looks like he isn't dealing with anything serious. He won't miss many games anyway, […]

Malcolm Subban Earns Second Consecutive Start

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Malcolm Subban will earn a second consecutive start for Saturday's battle with the Red Wings. The 25-year-old has seen minimal action this season, but he came in for Thursday's clash with Columbus and produced a 26-save shutout in a 2-0 win, so Chicago will ride the hot hand. Subban is 3-1-1 for […]

Radko Gudas Good To Go On Saturday

Florida Panthers defenseman Radko Gudas (upper body) will return to the lineup for Saturday's clash with the Hurricanes. The hard-hitting blueliner missed one game, which the Panthers won 3-2 with a late comeback against Dallas on Thursday.

Brian Elliott Posts Second Shutout Of The Year

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Brian Elliott collected his second shutout of the season on Saturday, finishing a 3-0 win over Buffalo with 23 saves. Jack Eichel (lower body) missed his second consecutive game and the Sabres couldn't generate much offense without him. Elliott is now 5-1-0 for the season with a 2.03 goals-against average and a […]
