Nathan MacKinnon Will Return To Action On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon will return to action in Wednesday's meeting with Arizona. He missed three games with an upper-body injury and the Avalanche was forced to use Mikko Rantanen as a center, so MacKinnon will make a welcome return. The star centerman enters the contest on a four-game point streak and he has […]

Mike Smith Starts On Wednesday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will be back between the pipes for Wednesday's visit of the Senators. He had a night off on Monday against Ottawa, when Mikko Koskinen improved his record to 8-9-0 with a 3-2 win. Smith has cooled off quite a bit since he made a red-hot start to the season, but […]

Mark Stone Returns On Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone will be back in the lineup on Wednesday against Minnesota after missing one game with an undisclosed injury.

Marc-Andre Fleury Starts Again On Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will record his 17th start of the season on Wednesday versus Minnesota.

Pittsburgh Penguins center Sidney Crosby had a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Rangers, recording his seventh multi-point effort of the season.

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Malcolm Subban will go for his fifth win of the season in Tuesday's meeting with the Dallas Stars, who are in a horrible slump.

Anton Khudobin Goes Up Against Chicago

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin will return to the crease for Tuesday's battle with the Blackhawks after Jake Oettinger logged two consecutive starts in back-to-back days over the weekend.

Connor Hellebuyck Makes 20th Start Of The Year

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will man the crease in Tuesday's meeting with Toronto. The 27-year-old is having a fine season and sits on an 11-7-1 record with a 2.73 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage, but he has dropped two of his last three decisions, and he boasts some ugly career numbers against […]

Frederik Andersen Takes On Jets

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will face the Winnipeg Jets in Tuesday's matchup, aiming to improve a 12-4-2 record. He is tied for second in goalie wins despite missing a week of action with a lower-body injury. Andersen returned with a nice 6-1 win over Edmonton but then went 4-2 down to Vancouver, so […]

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will face Columbus on Tuesday, in what will be his 13th start of the season Bob has split time with Chris Driedger but has gotten most of the starts lately and goes again against a team he has already beaten once this season.

Joonas Korpisalo Records 20th Start Of The Season

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will reach 20 starts for the season in Tuesday's matchup against Florida. He will try to improve a 7-8-4 record.

Vitek Vanecek Tries To Bounce Back Tuesday Night

Washington Capitals goaltender Vitek Vanecek will make his 20th start of the year in Tuesday's meeting with the Devils, looking to get going again after having a very tough time in his last appearance.

Scott Wedgewood Makes Second Consecutive Start

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 […]

Jonas Johansson Makes Fourth Start Of The Year

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. He's managed only one win in eight career starts, so the former third-round pick has had very little joy in […]

Carter Hart Takes On Struggling Sabres

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart has a great chance of picking up his seventh victory of the season on Tuesday when Philly hosts a Buffalo team that has lost seven on the trot. The matchup comes at a great time for Hart as he's been off his game lately, boasting only one win in his […]

Jack Eichel Misses Tuesday's Action With Injury

Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel will miss Tuesday's clash with the Flyers due to an upper-body injury. Head coach Ralph Krueger hasn't confirmed the seriousness of the injury, so we'll have to wait and see how much time the Sabres captain will miss. Eichel has been far from his best this season, but he had […]

Jared McCann Sits Out On Tuesday

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jared McCann is rated day-to-day with an upper-body injury and won't play in Tuesday's matchup against the Rangers. The 24-year-old got off to a nice start to March with a four-game point streak but now has to wait for meetings with Buffalo later in the week to re-enter the lineup. McCann has […]

Keith Kinkaid Makes First Rangers Start

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

With Igor Shesterkin (groin) out, it's […]

Tristan Jarry Looks For Win No. 10 Versus Rangers

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will be between the pipes for Tuesday's meeting with the Rangers. The 25-year-old netminder has overcome a tough start to the season to take his record to 9-7-1. He has a 3.12 goals-against average and a .897 save percentage. Pittsburgh easily took care of the Rangers on Sunday with a […]

Ryan O'Reilly Hands Out Pair Of Assists

St. Louis Blues center Ryan O'Reilly recorded an assist on both of the team's goals in Monday's 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose.
