Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton had 19 points with eight assists and six rebounds in Sunday's win over the Clippers, shooting 6-for-14 from the field, including 2-for-5 from downtown, and 5-for-6 at the line.

The Predators face Carolina on Tuesday and Florida on Thursday before having a back-to-back set at the weekend against the Panthers and Dallas. Winger Filip Forsberg […]

Patrik Laine, Columbus Set To Find Offense

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine has scored in just one of his last seven outings, but he should be able to get back on track next week. The schedule isn't great for Columbus with only three games coming up, but they face a pair of poor penalty-killing teams, which should help the team to […]

Sabres Set For Tough Week Despite Jack Eichel's Return

The Buffalo Sabres got Jack Eichel (lower body) back for Sunday's clash with the Flyers, but the team's rocky road is set to continue during next week's four-game slate.

Flyers Goalies, Defense Get Testing Week

Philadelphia Flyers goaltenders Carter Hart and Brian Elliott enjoyed a dream weekend when both shut out the Buffalo Sabres in a pair of 3-0 wins, but next week's four-game schedule is much tougher for them.

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. Calgary plays three of the games against the Ottawa Senators, who own the league's worst defensive record. Monahan, who […]

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.

Vladimir Tarasenko Very Close To Season Debut

St. Louis Blues right wing Vladimir Tarasenko (shoulder) is set to make his season debut during the team's six-game road trip which started this weekend in San Jose.

Alexander Radulov On The Cusp On Returning

Dallas Stars right wing Alexander Radulov (lower body) looks set to return to the lineup next week when the team starts a four-game homestand.

Seth Jones Finishes Off Successful Month With An Assist

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Seth Jones collected his 11th assist of the season on Sunday's 3-1 loss to Nashville.

Eeli Tolvanen Pots Game-Winner On Power Play

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 […]

Colin Blackwell Pots Another Goal

New York Rangers winger Colin Blackwell notched the team's only goal in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Boston, scoring for the fourth time in six games. He also had a team-high five shots and three hits with two penalty minutes and a minus-one rating in 17:48 on the ice. The 27-year-old winger now has five goals […]

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.

Karl-Anthony Towns Has 23-11-5 Line Versus Wizards

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. However, his shooting was poor, as he went 7-for-19 from the field and 5-for-10 at the charity […]

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. Beal went 2-for-6 with the three-ball and a perfect 8-for-8 at the line. Scoring just comes super easy for the 27-year-old and he's set […]

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 […]

Antti Raanta Returns To Action Versus Colorado

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Antti Raanta will make his first appearance since Feb. 13 on Saturday when the team hosts Colorado.

Raanta is […]

Kaapo Kahkonen Will Go For Fifth Straight Victory

Minnesota Wild goaltender Kaapo Kahkonen will aim for a fifth straight win in Saturday's rematch with the Kings.

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. Gustav Forsling, who picked up an undisclosed injury in the victory, will make room for Gudas. The 30-year-old […]
