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

New Jersey Devils goaltender Scott Wedgewood will start for the second straight contest in Tuesday's road game against the Capitals. The 28-year-old didn't feature at all in February but made a dream return to the cage on Sunday against Boston, stopping 40 shots in a 1-0 win for his second shutout of the year. Wedgewood […]

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. Tuukka Rask is reportedly a bit banged up and might not even dress for the matchup, so it's up to Halak to hold down the fort against his former team while staying ready for more action. 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.

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.

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.

Minnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala notched his eighth marker of the season in Monday's 2-0 victory over Vegas. He registered the game-winning goal in the middle of the first frame with Victor Rask providing the only assist. Jonas Brodin wrapped up the scoring with an empty-netter. Fiala isn't among the most consistent goal-scorers in the […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Collects First Career Shutout

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

Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar Remain Out On Monday

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (upper body) and defenseman Cale Makar (upper body) remain out for Monday's contest against Arizona but should feature later in the week.

Darcy Kuemper Faces Avalanche Monday Night

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will be tasked with stopping the Avalanche on Monday.

Mikko Koskinen Starts On Monday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will be between the pipes for Monday's visit of the Ottawa Senators. Koskinen was heavily used at the start of the season, but Mike Smith has earned the majority of starts since last month. The 32-year-old picked up three wins and two losses in February so it was a decent […]

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 […]

Devan Dubnyk Earns Eighth Start Of the Season

San Jose Sharks goaltender Devan Dubnyk will make his eighth start of the season in Monday's home game against St. Louis.

Mark Stone, Alex Pietrangelo Both Out Of Monday's Contest

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Mark Stone and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo won't play on Monday against Minnesota.

Stone had a five-point outing against the Wild last week and he already has […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Tries To Slow Down Vegas

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. The Wild goalie is on a six-game winning streak of his own as well, so something's got to give here. Kahkonen has looked very strong with his […]

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.

Heiskanen, who played […]

Scott Wedgewood Shuts Out Boston

New Jersey Devils goaltender Scott Wedgewood produced a big 40-save shutout in Sunday's 1-0 win over Boston. Kyle Palmieri scored the only goal.

New York Islanders Get Another Favorable Week

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. The 27-year-old Swede has seven points for the month in just four games, and he finished off February with a two-point outing as well, so he really has been crushing it as of late […]

Carey Price, Montreal Looks For Form During Four-Game Week

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price has ended a cold spell with back-to-back wins, and he has a favorable four-game week to build momentum.
