Philipp Grubauer Records First Win

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Philipp Grubauer recorded his first win of the season on Thursday, making 27 saves and finishing with a .900 save percentage in a 5-3 result versus the Devils. The German had a pretty poor team debut on Tuesday against Columbus, allowing four goals with a .882 save percentage, but he bounced back […]

Ian Cole Has Two Assists On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Ian Cole finished Thursday's 5-3 win over New Jersey with two assists and a plus-two rating. He also recorded two blocked shots and two penalty minutes in the game. The Avs are currently getting goals from all over the place which helps even the depth forwards and defensemen to pick up points. […]

Sven Andrighetto Scores In Season Debut

Colorado Avalanche right wing Sven Andrighetto was on target in his season debut on Thursday, scoring the team's first goal in a 5-3 win. He had missed the start of the year with a lower-body injury but looked fully healthy now. Andrighetto played on the fourth line and was on the ice for just 10:35, […]

Nathan MacKinnon Has First Three-Point Night

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon had his first three-point night of the season on Thursday, finishing a 5-3 win over New Jersey with three assists. It was his first game without a single goal this season, but he more than made up for it. MacKinnon flirted with the 100-point plateau in 2017-18 and it's not […]

Colorado Avalanche right wing Mikko Rantanen was unstoppable for the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, collecting four points in a 5-3 win.

Ryan Callahan Could Return On Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Ryan Callahan (shoulder) could make his season debut on Thursday after saying he's good to go for the matchup against Detroit. It remains to be seen if head coach Jon Cooper indeed enters him into the lineup. The veteran forward has had a number of injury problems in recent years […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy Looking To Stay Unbeaten Against Detroit

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will be the team's starter on Thursday night against the Detroit Red Wings. The young Russian netminder has a perfect 6-0-0 career record against the Wings, allowing only 1.71 goals per game with a .947 save percentage. He's been sharp this season as well, posting a 2-1-0 record with […]

Will Butcher Healthy Enough To Play On Thursday

New Jersey Devils defenseman Will Butcher, who left Tuesday's 3-0 win over Dallas early with an undisclosed injury, will be in the lineup against Colorado on Thursday. It's a special matchup for him of course after the Avs drafted the young d-man in 2013 only to find out a few years later that Butcher wasn't […]

Drew Stafford Set For Season Debut Versus Colorado

New Jersey Devils right wing Drew Stafford is expected to make his first appearance of the season in Thursday's matchup against the Avalanche. The experienced winger played for New Jersey last season and he took part of the training camp, but Stafford was signed to a new one-year deal only on Oct. 5, so he […]

Keith Kinkaid Gets The Avs On Thursday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid starts against Philipp Grubauer and the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday. We're two weeks into the season, but Kinkaid and the Devils have yet to lose a game, so he should be considered as a must-start fantasy goalie at the moment, especially against a backup like Grubauer. Kinkaid has two […]

Jake Allen Can't Save Blues From Another Loss

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen suffered his fourth loss of the season on Wednesday, finishing a 3-2 defeat to Montreal with 20 saves and a .870 save percentage.

Brayden Schenn Finds The Net On A Power Play

St. Louis Blues center Brayden Schenn scored his second power-play goal of the year in Wednesday's 3-2 loss at Montreal, making it three goals in six games for the whole season. He provided the team with a game-tying goal late in the third period, but a Colton Parayko mishap near the end of regulation meant […]

Vince Dunn Gets His Second Goal Of The Season

St. Louis Blues defenseman Vince Dunn netted the team's first goal on a power play in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Montreal with Ryan O'Reilly and Vladimir Tarasenko providing the assists. It's Dunn's second marker of the season and he managed it with three shots on goal. He now has ten shots, three blocks and one […]

Carey Price Makes Winning Return

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price (flu) was back in action on Wednesday after missing a couple of games, finishing a 3-2 win over St. Louis with 23 saves and a .920 save percentage. He's had a couple of rough outings at the start of the season, but his 2-1-1 record looks solid after four starts […]

Mike Reilly Opens His Habs Account

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Reilly scored his first goal for the team on Wednesday, netting the second goal on a power play in a 3-2 win over St. Louis. Charles Hudon and Jonathan Drouin had the assists. Reilly played 19 games for the Habs last season and had eight points with no goals, but he's […]

Tomas Tatar Has Seven Points In Three Games

Montreal Canadiens left wing Tomas Tatar recorded an assist on Brendan Gallagher's game-winning goal on Wednesday to take his points tally across the last three games to seven.

He's now scored in three consecutive games, racking up a total of four goals and six points for the season. Gallagher is also among the […]

Max Domi Scores First Habs Goal On Wednesday

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Domi registered his first goal for the team in Wednesday's 3-2 win over St. Louis, scoring within the opening minute, with Artturi Lehkonen and Mike Reilly picking up the assists. Domi himself has been a great helper as well this season, recording four assists -- two on the power play -- […]

Carter Hutton Allows Three Goals In Tuesday's Loss

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton allowed three goals in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, finishing with 25 saves and a .893 save percentage. He's now recorded losses in both of his last two starts, giving up a total of nine goals. The experienced goalie had a wonderful year last season, finishing with […]

Vladimir Sobotka Scores Buffalo's Only Goal At Vegas

Buffalo Sabres forward Vladimir Sobotka scored the team's only goal in Tuesday's 4-1 road loss to Vegas. The Sabres got real close to being shut out for the second time this season, as the goal came with just a little over a half a minute left to play. It's Sobotka's first goal and point in […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Earns 407th Career Win

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury recorded his 407th career win on Tuesday to move into a tie with Glenn Hall for 10th place on the league’s all-time list. He stopped 26 of 27 shots in a 4-1 win over Buffalo, finishing with a .963 save percentage. The Flower is recovering from a bad start […]

Cody Eakin Scores Third Goal Of The Season

Vegas Golden Knights forward Cody Eakin scored his third goal of the season on Tuesday, with his short-handed marker ending up as the game-winner in a 4-1 result against Buffalo. Eakin has played in only four games, so his goals tally looks really impressive, as does the fact that two of them have been game-winners. […]

Reilly Smith Picks Up Pair Of Helpers

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith recorded two assists in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Buffalo to make it four points in seven games thus far. His start to the season has been slow -- these are his first assists of the year -- but Vegas' top line was one of the best in hockey […]

William Karlsson Has Three-Point Night

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson picked up three points from the team's 4-1 win over Buffalo on Tuesday, including his first goal of the season. Karlsson exceeded all expectations last year with his 43 goals, so it's no surprise to see his numbers drop. However, he's remained a valuable fantasy option, recording seven points […]

Jonathan Marchessault Scores Twice Versus Sabres

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault scored half of the team's goals in a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Tuesday. He started the scoring with a power-play marker at the end of the first period and finished it as well, getting an empty-netter in the dying seconds. The team is off to a bit of […]

Darcy Kuemper Has 26 Saves In Season Debut

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper made his first appearance of the season on Tuesday, finishing with 26 saves in a 2-1 loss to his former team, the Minnesota Wild. Kuemper won only two of his ten starts last season after joining from the Kings, so a .929 save percentage from his first outing in the […]

Brendan Perlini Scores Only Coyotes Goal Versus Wild

Arizona Coyotes left wing Brendan Perlini scored the team's only goal in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Minnesota, lighting the lamp on a power play.
