Scott Wedgewood Makes Second Consecutive Start

New Jersey Devils goaltender Scott Wedgewood will start for the second straight contest in Tuesday's road game against the Capitals.

Jaroslav Halak Starts Tuesday's Meeting With Islanders

Boston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak will guard the cage in Tuesday's meeting with the New York Islanders.

The veteran […]

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Jonas Johansson will record his fourth start of the season in Tuesday's clash with Philadelphia. The Swedish netminder is winless so far with a 3.93 goals-against average and a .893 save percentage.

New York Rangers goaltender Keith Kinkaid will make his first start for the club in Tuesday's rematch with Pittsburgh.

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen stretched his winning streak to seven games with his first career shutout in a 2-0 victory over Vegas.

Mikko Koskinen Starts On Monday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will be between the pipes for Monday's visit of the Ottawa Senators.

Ville Husso Aims For Fifth Straight Victory

St. Louis Blues goaltender Ville Husso has a chance to extend his winning streak to five games in Monday's meeting with San Jose. He had a very tough time at the start of the year but has managed to completely turn it around, and owns a nice 5-2-0 record with a 3.55 goals-against average and […]

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will make his 13th start of the season in Monday's clash with the Vegas Golden Knights, who have racked up six straight victories.

Miro Heiskanen Extends Point Streak With Two Assists

Dallas Stars defenseman Miro Heiskanen delivered two assists in Sunday's 4-3 shootout loss to Nashville, stretching his point streak to three games.

The New York Islanders crushed the Buffalo Sabres in three consecutive games this week and their dominance looks set to continue during the upcoming four-game slate.

Rickard Rakell, Ducks On The Way Up

Anaheim Ducks winger Rickard Rakell has started off March red-hot and should be rostered in most leagues for a four-game week.
