Brett Howden Battling An Illness

Vegas Golden Knights forward Brett Howden (illness) may not travel with the team for an upcoming two-game road trip. The Golden Knights will visit St. Louis and Dallas on Thursday and Friday. An illness could take Howden out of the lineup for the first time this season. It's been a big year for Howden, who […]

Cole Schwindt Out Week-To-Week

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Cole Schwindt (lower body) is week-to-week. The 23-year-old did not play on Monday against St. Louis and is set for a multi-game absence due to a lower-body injury. Working in a fourth-line role, Schwindt's offensive contributions have been limited to seven assists in 38 games, but he has averaged close […]

Trevor Zegras Set To Rejoin Ducks Lineup Tuesday

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras (knee) is set to return to the lineup for Tuesday's tilt against Florida. He has missed 22 games following meniscus surgery on his right knee. Zegras has not been impactful offensively for most of the campaign, but he began to turn a corner before getting hurt. The 23-year-old has collected […]

Isac Lundestrom Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks center Isac Lundestrom (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The Swedish forward was injured against Florida on Saturday and is expected to miss Tuesday's rematch between the teams. Lundestrom has been limited to four goals and seven points in 44 games this season, so Anaheim will not lose much offensively with him out. Brett […]

Brock McGinn Out 7-9 Months Following Knee Surgery

Anaheim Ducks left wing Brock McGinn (knee) will miss 7-9 months after undergoing surgery. McGinn hasn't played since Dec. 23, and the team announced on Tuesday that the veteran forward had successful ACL reconstruction surgery last week. The 2024-25 campaign ends with eight points (four goals, four assists) in 26 games for McGinn, who is […]

Jason Zucker Questionable For Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres left wing Jason Zucker (illness) is questionable to play against Vancouver on Tuesday. He is feeling under the weather and might sit out his first game of the season. Zucker's play has been one of only a few bright spots this season for Buffalo. The veteran has tallied 35 points (16 goals, 19 […]

Roope Hintz Returns To Action Tuesday

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (upper body) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Carolina. Dallas has been without its first-line center for three games. Wyatt Johnstone deputized for Hintz in the role. He will shift to the right wing on Tuesday, with Evgenii Dadonov dropping to the second line. Hintz is having a […]

Igor Shesterkin Looks To Stay Hot On Tuesday

New York Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin will face the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday, looking to maintain his recent hot form. After shaking off an upper-body injury, Shesterkin has gone 4-0-1 with one shutout. He has allowed 1.73 goals during this stretch while registering a .934 save percentage. The Rangers No. 1 has improved his record […]

Samuel Ersson Tries To Extend Winning Streak Versus Red Wings

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson will head out for a fifth consecutive win on Tuesday against Detroit. After recovering from a lower-body injury, Ersson suffered a 4-1 defeat against Dallas when he returned to the crease on Jan. 9. However, he has matched his career-best winning streak since, logging one shutout and allowing seven goals […]

Scott Laughton Misses Tuesday's Game For Personal Reasons

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton (personal) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against Detroit. He is tending to a family matter and will miss his first game of the season. It's been a solid campaign for Laughton, as he has amassed 23 points (nine goals, 14 assists) in 47 outings. However, the 30-year-old […]

Shea Theodore Posts Four Assists In Monday's Loss

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore delivered four assists in Monday's 5-4 shootout loss to St. Louis. Theodore's first helper came during a power-play situation, and his playmaking helped the Golden Knights erase a two-goal deficit in the third period. Theodore sits among the league's most prolific blue-liners, and his recent work has been particularly […]

Frederik Andersen Makes A Winning Return

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen defeated Chicago 4-3 in overtime on Monday as he made his first start since Oct. 26. Andersen, who finished with 22 saves, was beaten twice in the opening frame. However, Carolina quickly tied the game in the second and eventually won with an overtime tally by Sebastian Aho. Andersen improved […]

Tyler Myers Suspended For Three Games

Vancouver Canuck defenseman Tyler Myers has been suspended for three games. The 34-year-old was punished for cross-checking Edmonton defenseman Evan Bouchard to the head in Saturday's 3-2 win. As a result of the suspension, Myers will have to sit out Tuesday's clash with Buffalo, a rematch against the Oilers on Thursday, and Saturday's contest versus […]

Connor McDavid Receives Three-Game Suspension

Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid has received a three-game suspension. The Oilers superstar must sit out the next few games for cross-checking Vancouver forward Conor Garland to the head during Saturday's 3-2 loss. This is the second suspension of McDavid's career. McDavid will be eligible to return to the lineup on Jan. 27 versus Seattle. […]

Malcolm Brogdon Misses Ninth Consecutive Game

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday against the Lakers. The veteran guard has made only three appearances since the turn of the year, and it's unclear when we will see him back on the court. With Brogdon out, rookies Carlton Carrington and Kyshawn George feature prominently in […]

Kris Murray Iffy For Tuesday's Contest

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (chest) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Miami. He is listed on the injury report with a chest contusion. Murray averages close to 15 minutes per game this season, but his three-point shots have not been dropping, and he has been limited to 4.4 […]

Guerschon Yabusele Questionable Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Guerschon Yabusele (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against Denver. He may be out for a third consecutive game due to a knee issue. Joel Embiid (knee) will not be on the court, and Andre Drummond (toe) is also questionable, meaning Philadelphia might be forced to roll with an extremely shorthanded frontcourt […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. Continues To Sit Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) remains out for Tuesday's tilt against Denver. The 24-year-old is working his way back from a left foot stress reaction. It was reported last week that Martin Jr. has been cleared for on-court activities but remains without a clear timeline for his return to action. Martin Jr. averaged […]

Caleb Martin Still Out On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Caleb Martin (hip) will be out for a sixth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Denver. Martin is struggling to shake off a right hip sprain. The former Heat man has seen regular action as a starter this season in Philadelphia, averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. Martin's absence allows Justin […]

Kyle Lowry Remains On The Shelf Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Kyle Lowry (hip) will not be available for Tuesday's matchup against Denver. His absence will stretch to a ninth consecutive game as Lowry continues to deal with a hip sprain. Starting point guard Tyrese Maxey has logged 40-plus minutes regularly with Lowry out, while Jeff Dowtin Jr.'s role has grown in […]

Ben Simmons On Track To Return Tuesday

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (illness) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks. He appears to be on track to return to the lineup after missing Sunday's action against Oklahoma City due to an illness. However, Tuesday's game marks the start of a back-to-back for Brooklyn, so it's likely Simmons will […]

LeBron James Probable Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is considered probable for Tuesday's matchup against Washington. He has missed only three games all season and is expected to play in a 10th consecutive contest. We might see a more aggressive version of James on Tuesday if he plays because Anthony Davis (calf) is iffy for the […]

Anthony Davis Questionable Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Washington. Davis has played through a foot problem the entire season but is currently dealing with calf soreness. The Lakers might be without Davis for the second time in five games. Jaxson Hayes started against Brooklyn instead of Davis last Friday. He […]

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen Unavailable Monday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (undisclosed) will miss Monday's matchup against Seattle. He's battling some nagging injury issues. However, Luukkonen's absence might be limited to just one game, as he said on Sunday that he could play on Tuesday against Vancouver. Luukkonen has had a mediocre campaign as Buffalo's No. 1, going 14-14-4. He has […]

Timothy Liljegren Returns For Sharks Monday

San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren (illness) will return to the lineup for Monday's matchup against Boston. He was unavailable on Saturday against the Islanders due to an illness. Liljegren operates in a top-four role and logs regular power-play time in San Jose but hasn't been very impactful. Through 34 outings, the former Maple Leaf […]

Mikael Granlund Good To Go Monday

San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (lower body) will be in the lineup on Monday versus Boston. It was unclear if Granlund would be available for the contest after he sat out Sunday's practice with a lower-body injury. His availability is massive for the Sharks, as Granlund has been their leading man in 2024-25. He […]

Tyler Toffoli Will Not Play Against Bruins

San Jose Sharks winger Tyler Toffoli (lower body) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Boston. He remains day-to-day with a lower-body injury, missing a second straight game. Toffoli has posted 30 points (17 goals, 13 assists) in 47 games during his first campaign as a Shark, notching a third of the points with […]

Charlie McAvoy Out On Monday

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy (upper body) will miss a third consecutive game on Monday against San Jose. He continues to nurse an upper-body injury, and it's unclear when Boston will get him back. Nikita Zadorov and Brandon Carlo have made up the first defensive pairing during McAvoy's absence, with Mason Lohrei hopping on the […]

Max Pacioretty Unlikely To Play Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Max Pacioretty (upper body) missed Monday's morning skate and likely won't play against Tampa Bay. A puck hit the veteran in the head on Saturday against Montreal. He managed to finish the contest, but it seems that Pacioretty needs some time to recover. Pacioretty's fantasy stock is at an all-time […]

Alexander Romanov A Game-Time Decision Saturday

New York Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov (upper body) is a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against San Jose. He has sat out three games with an upper-body injury but appears to be on the brink of returning. Romanov has been limited to nine points this season, but seven have come in his last eight appearances. […]
