Mike Smith Set For Second Game Following Return From Injury

Calgary Flames goalie Mike Smith starts on Tuesday against Edmonton in what is his second outing following a month-long injury break. Smith returned on Sunday against the Islanders and had a dreadful start, giving up a couple of early goals, but he got better as the game went on and the team will certainly be […]

Matthew Tkachuk Misses Battle Of Alberta

Calgary Flames left wing Matthew Tkachuk (upper body) won't play on Tuesday against Edmonton in this season's fourth Battle of Alberta after getting hurt late in Sunday's loss to the Islanders. He's listed as day-to-day with an upper body injury. Deadline addition Chris Stewart, who has yet to play this month, will take Tkachuk's place […]

Timo Meier Scores Sharks Winner Versus Detroit

San Jose Sharks right wing Timo Meier scored the game-winning goal in Monday's 5-3 result against Detroit, recording his 18th goal of the season on the power play at the start of the third period.

Joe Pavelski Records Two Assists Against Detroit

San Jose Sharks center Joe Pavelski provided helpers on two goals Monday in a 5-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings, as he assisted Joonas Donskoi on the game's opening goal and picked up the other on Chris Tierney's empty-netter to finish off the scoring.

Dylan DeMelo Stays Hot In Sharks Win

San Jose Sharks defenseman Dylan DeMelo picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Monday's 5-3 win over Detroit to make it seven points in five games this month.

Tyler Toffoli Picks Up Goal And Assist In Kings Win

Los Angeles Kings forward Tyler Toffoli scored his first goal of the month in Monday's 3-0 win over Vancouver, opening the scoring early in the second period. He later recorded an assist on the team's final goal as well. It's been an up-and-down season from Toffoli, but he already has more points (40) than he […]

Jonathan Quick Records 48th Shutout In 3-0 Win

Los Angeles Kings goalie Jonathan Quick recorded the 48th shutout of his career on Monday, making 35 saves against the Canucks, who haven't scored in consecutive games.

Tanner Pearson Scores Third Goal Of The Month

Los Angeles Kings left wing Tanner Pearson scored his third goal of the month on Monday, finishing off the scoring in a 3-0 win over Vancouver. Pearson has struggled most of the year and he didn't even score a single goal in February, but he's doing very well right now with four points in five […]

Corey Perry Scores Goal No. 15 In Ducks Loss

Anaheim Ducks right wing Corey Perry scored his 15th goal of the season in Monday's 4-2 loss to St. Louis, finishing off a clever Ryan Getzlaf feed to get the team on the board moments after the Blues had made it 2-0. Getzlaf extended his point streak to six games, collecting 13 points in total […]

Dejounte Murray's Struggles Continue

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was a team-worst minus-22 in Monday's 109-93 loss to the Houston Rockets, finishing with just seven points in 20 minutes. Head coach Gregg Popovich even took one timeout to specifically yell at Murray, which pretty much tells you everything about his performance. After failing to be in double […]

Davis Bertans Makes It Five Straight Games In Double Figures

San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans is playing his best basketball of the season right now, as he has scored double-figure points in five consecutive games. The 25-year-old Latvian shot 4-for-8 on Monday against Houston, finishing with 11 points in 20 minutes. He did very well from deep, shooting 3-for-6, while also grabbing three rebounds. […]

Rudy Gay Scores 13 Points In Start

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay made his sixth start of the season on Monday, playing 24 minutes and scoring 13 points on 5-for-16 shooting against the Rockets. Gay was the only Spurs starter to finish in double figures, as the starting unit came out really flat. He went 1-for-3 from behind the arc and […]

Pau Gasol Disappoints On Monday

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol had a great spot to perform on Monday against the Rockets with LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) out, but the starters struggled all night and Gasol ended up laying an egg, getting just 15 minutes on the floor while recording four points and four rebounds. He made only one of his […]

William Karlsson Back Among The Goals In Vegas Win

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson ended a four-game goal drought in Monday's 3-2 win over Philadelphia, netting his 36th of the year on a power play after Erik Haula had put the Knights on the board.

Ryan Carpenter Scores Vegas Winner In Philadelphia

Vegas Golden Knights forward Ryan Carpenter scored a late game-winner in Monday's 3-2 result against Philadelphia, breaking the tie with less than three minutes to go in regulation. It's a big result for the team on the final stop of a five-game road trip. Carpenter, who was waived by San Jose in January, has found […]

Martin Jones Stays in Sharks Goal For Wings Visit

San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones will remain the starter on Monday in a home game against the Detroit Red Wings, making his 12th start in the last 13 games. Aaron Dell has done well in San Jose as the backup, but head coach Peter DeBoer has limited him to just a couple of appearances […]

Anders Nilsson Faces Kings On Monday

Vancouver Canucks goalie Anders Nilsson will be making his 22nd start of the season in Monday's road game against the L.A. Kings. It's only his second start this month, following a 31-save effort last week in a 5-2 loss to Minnesota. It will take a very brave fantasy owner to use Nilsson on Monday, as […]

John Gibson The Ducks Starter Versus Blues

Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson will be back in the crease on Monday with the team hosting the St. Louis Blues. Gibson saw a six-game winning streak end in his last outing, which the Ducks lost 4-2 in Nashville.

Marc-Andre Fleury Gets Philadelphia On Monday

Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will make a sixth consecutive start on Monday with the team facing the Philadelphia Flyers on away ice.

Oliver Ekman-Larsson Wins It For Coyotes On Sunday

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored his 10th goal of the season on Sunday, which ended up being the game-winner in a 1-0 result against Vancouver. OEL struck on the power play with around five minutes left in the second period, with Derek Stepan and Clayton Keller picking up the assists. He now has five […]

Darcy Kuemper Picks Up Fourth Shutout Of The Season

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper was named the first star on Sunday, following a 27-save shutout against the Vancouver Canucks. It's his first shutout as a Coyote and his fourth overall this season, with his previous one bizarrely coming against Arizona on Feb 2. Kuemper bounced back superbly after allowing five goals in a 5-2 […]

Mike Smith Rusty On Return

Calgary Flames goalie Mike Smith was back between the pipes on Sunday following a month-long absence and he didn't have a good comeback, allowing four goals in a 5-2 loss to the Islanders. Smith had just one save before it was 2-0 already to the Islanders, which pretty much summed up his night, though he […]

Mark Giordano Has Three Goals In Four Games

Calgary Flames defenseman Mark Giordano scored his third goal in the last four games on Sunday against the Islanders to make it 13 goals for the season. The Flames captain now needs just two more goals to share the league's top goal-scoring honor among defensemen with teammate Dougie Hamilton and P.K. Subban. Giordano already has […]

Johnny Gaudreau Reaches New Career High

Calgary Flames left wing Johnny Gaudreau reached a new career high in points on Sunday, ending a seven-game goal drought and picking up an assist in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders. He now has 79 points for the season, one more than the previous personal best set in 2015-16. Johnny Hockey has […]

Clint Capela Held In Check By Mavs

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela finished Sunday's blowout win over Dallas with only four points and eight rebounds. He was limited to 23 minutes, but that hasn't previously prevented him from flirting with a double-double. The Swiss big man ended up being far from one this time around, though he managed to cheer up some […]

Trevor Ariza Can't Find His Range On Sunday

Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza had one of his worst shooting nights of the season on Sunday, finishing with three points on 1-for-10 shooting against Dallas. He actually scored the Rockets first points in the 105-82 win with a triple, but went brick after brick following that, ending up 1-for-9 from behind the arc. Ariza […]

Chris Paul Leads The Charge Against Dallas

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul picked up his second double-double in three games on Sunday, leading the charge against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out. Paul had 24 points on 9-for-18 shooting, going 4-for-7 from deep, and came up just two short of matching his season high in assists, finishing with 12 dimes. He […]

Eric Gordon Shines In Start

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon made his 25th start of the year on Sunday against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out, scoring 26 points with six triples in 31 minutes. Gordon went 6-for-11 from deep in what was his fifth straight game shooting over 40 percent from downtown. He has been shooting pretty poorly […]

Jacob Markstrom Finishes The Week For Canucks

Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom is set to start the final game of the week on Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes after being the first guy off the ice in the morning skate. Markstrom missed the team's last game, as he wasn't feeling well, according to head coach Travis Green. It's Markstrom's second start of […]

Darcy Kuemper Keeps His Place In Coyotes Goal Versus Canucks

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper will play for a second consecutive day on Sunday, with Antti Raanta (lower body) still not ready to return.
