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.

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 […]

RJ Barrett Has Busy Night Versus Bucks

Bradley Beal Exits Early Saturday Night

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal logged only 21 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons, leaving the game early in the third quarter due to a hip injury.

Sergei Bobrovsky Tries To Get Back To Winning Ways

He has posted a […]

Anton Khudobin Earns Start For Saturday's Action

Jake Oettinger has delivered three of the Stars' last five victories, but Dallas is going with experience on Saturday against one of the league's most prolific teams.
