Jarell Martin Returns With Good Outing

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jarell Martin (knee) returned to the lineup on Friday after missing two games, and he had a good performance against the Utah Jazz, logging 30 minutes off the bench while getting 13 points and five rebounds. Martin got to double figures even though he didn't shoot particularly well, going 5-for-15 from the […]

JaMychal Green Disappoints In Memphis Loss

Memphis Grizzlies power forward JaMychal Green had a night to forget on Friday, finishing with just two points in 31 minutes against Utah. He went 1-for-8 from the floor and didn't provide much else either, getting only five rebounds, which matches his personal low in 2018. He ended up with no blocks or steals for […]

Ben McLemore Solid Once More On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Ben McLemore has been a starter recently with the team having a bunch of injury problems, and he hasn't disappointed, impressing with some good shooting while providing consistent scoring. He had 14 points in 28 minutes on Friday against Utah, shooting 5-for-11 from the floor, including 2-for-4 from downtown. McLemore has […]

Marc Gasol Provides All-Around Performance On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol had just seven shot attempts and finished with only nine points in Friday's loss to Utah but still provided a nice line for fantasy owners, grabbing 11 boards, providing six assists, blocking four shots and picking up one steal in 32 minutes. Gasol should be much more active at the […]

Dillon Brooks Leads Memphis In Scoring Versus Jazz

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Dillon Brooks ended up leading the team in scoring for a second time in a row on Friday, as he had 18 points on 7-for-16 shooting against Utah. The Grizzlies lost their 16th in a row and they are going nowhere, so younger players like Brooks are getting a look for […]

Sam Gagner Replaces Jake Virtanen On Canucks First Line

Vancouver Canucks forward Sam Gagner will be bumped up to the first line for Friday's game versus Minnesota. Jake Virtanen was the first guy getting a look following a season-ending injury to Brock Boeser, but he failed to impress on Wednesday against Arizona, finishing with no points and just one shot on goal in 18 […]

Jacob Markstrom Questionable For Friday's Tilt

Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom missed practice on Thursday with an illness, which makes him questionable to play on Friday night against Minnesota. The 28-year-old has had some really nice performances recently, including a 39-save effort against Nashville, so it would certainly be a blow for him personally to miss out. Anders Nilsson will take […]

Ryan Miller The Likely Starter For Ducks On Friday

Anaheim Ducks goalie Ryan Miller looks set for his first start since Feb. 25 on Friday as the team faces Dallas on away ice. The Ducks play their second game in as many nights and goalie John Gibson hasn't played both games of a back-to-back set all season, so unless something unexpected happens, Miller will […]

David Rittich In Net For Flames Again On Friday

Calgary Flames goalie David Rittich will get a second consecutive start on Friday with the team facing Ottawa on the road. Rittich has played second fiddle recently to Jon Gillies, but he impressed on Wednesday against the Sabres, making 25 saves and missing his first career shutout by just 18 seconds. He boasts a 7-5-3 […]

Rickard Rakell Scoring At Will Right Now

Anaheim Ducks forward Rickard Rakell added another couple of goals to his tally on Thursday against Nashville to make it 30 goals for the season.

Martin Jones Keeps Blues At Bay

San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones, who had a nightmare last Sunday against Columbus, was back to his best on Thursday, recording his fourth shutout of the season in a 2-0 win over St. Louis. Jones didn't have much to do, with the Blues managing just 16 shots on net, but it was still an […]

Alex Tuch Scores Twice Versus Red Wings

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Alex Tuch scored for only the second time in the last 15 outings on Thursday, getting half of the team's goals in a 4-0 win over Detroit. It was Tuch's first multi-goal game of his career and he now has 13 goals and 30 points for the season. Playing on […]

Davis Bertans Decent In Another Start

San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans has been getting plenty of starts lately, as teammates are struggling with injuries, and the Latvian also got the nod on Thursday against the Warriors. Bertans played 28 minutes, scoring 13 points with three assists and a couple of rebounds. He shot an ugly 4-for-15 but actually was among […]

Dejounte Murray Gets Going Again On Thursday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray bounced back well from a dud produced on Monday, getting 14 points, six assists and five rebounds in a 110-107 loss to Golden State.

Lucic ended a lengthy goal drought on Monday against Arizona and will be hopeful of […]

Martin Jones Starts Versus Blues

San Jose Sharks goalie Martin Jones will get the nod for Thursday's battle against the St. Louis Blues. Jones had a shocker on Sunday, allowing three goals on 13 shots (.769 save percentage) before getting pulled early in the second period against Columbus, but he'll still get a sixth consecutive start. He picked up a […]

Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson will put his six-game winning streak on the line Thursday against the Nashville Predators, who counter with a nine-game winning run. Gibson had 36 saves on Tuesday against Washington, picking up his second shutout of the year, so he'll be confident in stopping the NHL's hottest team. However, Nashville has […]

Vegas Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury will be looking to bounce back on Thursday against Detroit after suffering his third loss in fours starts on Tuesday in Columbus. Fleury had only 17 saves in a 4-1 loss, ending with a .850 save percentage. He's lost consecutive starts just twice all year, so there seems to […]

Reilly Smith Out On Thursday

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Reilly Smith will miss Thursday's tilt with Detroit, as he's listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. Smith, who has collected 22 goals and 60 points this season, left Tuesday's 4-1 loss in Columbus after playing just a little over 10 minutes. Tomas Tatar will be bumped to the first […]

Henrik Sedin Making History With Massive Goalless Streak

Vancouver Canucks center Henrik Sedin is on a career-high 48-game goalless streak and on the brink of league history.

He didn't even register a shot on goal for a second consecutive game in […]

Jussi Jokinen Scores First Canucks Goal

Vancouver Canucks forward Jussi Jokinen scored his first goal for the team in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to Arizona, finishing off a nice move on a delayed penalty call.
