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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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
