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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ryan Suter Keeps Hot Start Going

Minnesota Wild defenseman Ryan Suter bagged another point on Tuesday, making it five points in six games for the season.

Minnesota Wild center Mikael Granlund extended his point streak to three games on Tuesday, scoring the team's first goal in a 2-1 home win over Arizona.

Eric Staal Bags Game-Winner On Tuesday

Minnesota Wild center Eric Staal scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's contest against the Coyotes, winning it 2-1 for the Wild in the third period. He was a man on a mission, finishing with eight shots on goal which is his best mark since Jan. 8, 2017. It's his second goal of the season to […]

Devan Dubnyk Almost Perfect Versus Coyotes

Minnesota Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk was close to his first shutout of the season on Tuesday in a 2-1 win over Arizona.

Petr Mrazek Gets The Nod On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Petr Mrazek will be starting on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

He has a 1-1-1 record so far with a […]

Louis Domingue In Bolts Goal For Canes Visit

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Louis Domingue will make his season debut on Tuesday, with him selected as the starter for a home game against the Carolina Hurricanes. He posted a 7-3-1 record with a 2.89 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage for the team last season after being acquired from Arizona in November. It's […]

Nick Bjugstad Will Play Versus Flyers

Florida Panthers forward Nick Bjugstad will be in the team's lineup on Tuesday against Philadelphia after shaking off an upper-body injury. Bjugstad, who skates on the team's top line, missed Monday's practice and he was questionable for the game. He's had a pretty quiet start to the season, with his one goal, four shots, and […]

Michael Hutchinson Makes His Panthers Debut On Tuesday

Florida Panthers goaltender Michael Hutchinson will make his team debut on Tuesday against Philadelphia. The former Jet signed a one-year deal with the Cats during the offseason, and he started the year third in the pecking order, but Roberto Luongo's (lower body) absence and James Reimer's recent unimpressive play will give him a chance to […]

Nico Hischier Good To Go On Tuesday

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier, who left Monday's practice early, has been given the green light to play on Tuesday against Dallas. According to reports, Hischier hurt his ankle in Sunday's win over San Jose, and that was likely the reason why he didn't feel quite right the day after. It could still affect […]

Keith Kinkaid In Search Of Fourth Win On Tuesday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid gets to face a tired Stars team on Tuesday night. Dallas played in Ottawa on Monday and couldn't add any points with a 4-1 loss.
