Lifelong Detroit sports fan with an Engineering background, so I’ve definitely looked at the numbers behind why my favorite teams have disappointed me. Watches the games and the charts, not sure which to blame when I lose.

Victor Hedman Held Scoreless Through Series

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman failed to record a point in the first round series against the New Jersey Devils. This scoreless streak is only the second time this season that Hedman has gone five or more games without a point. Hedman averaged 0.82 points per game during the regular season and leads the […]


Devils Eliminated Despite Cory Schneider's Strong Play

New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider stopped 35 of 37 shots that he faced in game 5, keeping the game close but ultimately falling short as the Devils were eliminated from the playoffs. His stellar .951 save percentage in the playoffs limited the Lightning's offense and kept the Devils in every game that he started. […]


Ondrej Palat Looking to Regain Form at Home

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ondrej Palat has been held scoreless over the last two games after scoring four points in the first two games. His scoreless streak on the road put a halt to his blistering start to the series and has understandably caused a dip in his DFS value. Palat did perform better at […]


Sami Vatanen Did Not Travel with Team to Tampa Bay

New Jersey Devils defenseman Sami Vatanen did not travel with his teammates to Tampa Bay for Game 5 but has yet to be officially ruled out for Saturday's contest. Vatanen left Game 4 after a hit from Nikita Kucherov and did not return. Though he is considered day-to-day, it would be a surprise to see […]


Nikita Kucherov Will Not Face Supplemental Discipline

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Nikita Kucherov will not face punishment from the league following his controversial hit on New Jersey Devils defenseman Sami Vatanen during Game 4. According to the Department of Player Safety, the primary point of contact for the hit was not Vatanen's head, which is why Kucherov will avoid discipline. Coming off […]


Tyler Johnson Will Play in Game 4

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson will play on Wednesday night, according to coach Jon Cooper. Johnson did not practice Tuesday morning and was considered a game-time decision until now. Johnson rejoins Brayden Point and Ondrej Palat on Tampa Bay's second line, which was held scoreless in Game 3 for the first time this series. […]


Cory Schneider Going for Two Straight, Gets Game 4 Start

New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider will return to the crease in Game 4 as the Devils look to even the series. By all accounts, Schneider has taken back the starter’s duties from Keith Kinkaid after stopping 34 of 36 shots in a Game 3 victory. The 5-2 victory was Schneider’s first win since Dec. […]


Taylor Hall Spectacular in Game 3 Victory

New Jersey Devils left wing Taylor Hall scored a goal and two assists on Monday, leading the Devils to their first win of the series. The three points bring Hall’s total to five points after three games and put him among the league leaders early in the playoffs. Hall also put six shots on net […]


J.T. Miller Will Play in Game 4 After Injury

Tampa Bay Lightning forward J.T. Miller was hit in the face with a puck during Game 3, resulting in Miller needing 13 stitches. The injury happened at the end of the second period and Miller received the stitches during intermission, allowing him to return to the game in the third period. Though the injury did […]


Ryan McDonagh Looking to Extend Streak to Three Games

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh registered two assists in Game 2, giving him three points for the series. McDonagh is playing on Tampa Bay’s second pairing and does not see time on the power play, but he has remained effective at even strength. His 23:49 of time on ice was the second most of […]


Marcus Johansson Returns for New Jersey

New Jersey Devils left wing Marcus Johansson (concussion) has been cleared to return and will play in Game 3. Johansson missed the final 35 games of the regular season and the first two games of the playoffs while recovering from a concussion. He appears to be jumping back into his spot in the top six, […]


Devils Turn to Cory Schneider in Game 3

New Jersey Devils goaltender Cory Schneider will get the start in Game 3 as the Devils look to win their first game of the series. Keith Kinkaid started both of the losses and allowed five goals in Game 2 before Schneider replaced him. In Schneider’s relief appearance, he stopped all 10 of the shots he […]


Alex Killorn Scores Two, Leads Lightning in Goals

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Alex Killorn scored two goals in game 2 as the Lightning won 5-3. Killorn leads all players in the series with three goals, two of which have been on the power play. While Killorn is playing on Tampa Bay's third line at even strength, he has solidified his role on […]


Nico Hischier Scores First Playoff Goal of Career

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier scored in the first period of Game 2, recording his first career playoff point. The Devils were able to keep the game close through one period, due to Hischier's goal, but quickly fell behind in the second period and were unable to recover. The rookie center had 52 points […]


Lightning Keep Andrei Vasilevskiy Between the Pipes

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy will be in net again for game 2. Vasilevskiy seemed to regain his elite form from earlier this season during game 1, stopping 29 of 31 shots for a .935 save percentage. His performance came as a relief for Lightning fans, who likely were concerned after Vasilevskiy had only […]


Devils Looks to Rebound with Keith Kinkaid

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will return to the crease for game 2 after allowing four goals on 31 shots in game 1. Despite Kinkaid's strong play to close out the regular season, he and the Devils looked every bit of the underdog in game 1. After floundering in his first career playoff start, […]


Taylor Hall Scores First Career Playoff Goal

New Jersey Devils left wing Taylor Hall led his team with two points and five shots in a 5-2 loss to Tampa Bay. The game was Hall's first career playoff game, but the new stage did not stop him from producing like he has all year. Hall was on the ice more than any other […]


Tyler Johnson Carries Playoff Success Into Game 1

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Tyler Johnson scored a goal and an assist in the first period of Game 1 on Thursday night. The two points give Johnson 44 points in 48 career playoff games. Johnson has a way of elevating his game in the post-season, averaging 0.92 point per game in his career, which is […]


Ondrej Palat Leads Lightning to Game 1 Victory

Tampa Bay Lightning left wing Ondrej Palat scored a goal and registered two assists in a 5-2 victory over the Devils. The Devils had no answer for Tampa Bay’s second line as Palat, Tyler Johnson, and Brayden Point each had at least one point in the first period of game 1. Palat in particular shined, […]


Andrei Vasilevskiy to Start for Tampa Bay in Game 1 at Home

Tampa Bay Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy will be between the pipes Thursday night to start the series against the New Jersey Devils. Vasilevskiy’s recent struggles are well-documented and his .886 save percentage over the last month certainly raises concerns heading into the playoffs. Despite posting a .920 save percentage for the year, it appears that […]


Devils Turn to Keith Kinkaid to Start Playoffs

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will start his first career playoff game on Thursday night. Kinkaid has had a solid year for the Devils, but has elevated his play since the beginning of March, posting a .928 save percentage in that time while winning 11 of his 14 starts. He has especially shined away […]


Marcus Johansson Practices, Unlikely to Play Game 1

New Jersey Devils left wing Marcus Johansson (concussion) was practicing with the team on Wednesday, but based on the line he was skating with, it appears the plan is for him to be a healthy scratch for the start of the playoffs. Johansson has missed New Jersey’s last 35 games after suffering a concussion earlier […]


Steven Stamkos Set to Return for Game 1

Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos practiced with the team in full on Wednesday. Stamkos skated alongside Nikita Kucherov and J.T. Miller on Tampa Bay’s top line during practice, and at this point, it would be shocking if he missed Thursday night’s game. He last played on April 1, sitting out Tampa Bay’s final three […]


Auston Matthews Dominating for Playoff Bound Maple Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. With two points on the score sheet, Matthews has now collected at least one point in all nine of the games that he has played in since returning from injury on March 22. With 13 […]


Victor Hedman Finishes Regular Season with Three Game Point Streak

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman assisted on a Ryan Callahan goal in the second period of an overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. The assist was Hedman's third point in three games after scoring a goal in each of the prior two games. Hedman finishes the year with 63 points and 17 […]


Tuukka Rask Starts Season Finale for Bruins

Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask returns to the crease Sunday after sitting out Saturday night's game against the Ottawa Senators. Rask will start in the final game of the regular season against the Florida Panthers, as the Bruins attempt to lock up the top seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins have only won two […]


Steven Stamkos Ruled Out for Remainder of Regular Season

Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos (lower body) will not play in the final two games of the regular season. He aggravated a lower-body injury during a game on April 1 and has not played since in the hopes that the rest will let him fully recover before the start of the playoffs. Stamkos finishes […]


Dylan Larkin Extends Point Streak to Five Games

Detroit Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin has been one of the hottest players in the league over the last week, scoring eight points in his last five games. He extended that streak Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens by scoring Detroit’s first goal and assisting on a goal in the third period. Larkin leads Detroit […]


Darren Helm Producing on Second Line

Detroit Red Wings forward Darren Helm now has six points in his last five games after scoring a goal Thursday night against the Montreal Canadiens. It was Helm’s fourth goal in five games and his 13th of the season. The production is a bit overdue, as Helm was promoted to the second line in Detroit […]


Frederik Andersen Scheduled to Start Final Two Games

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen will be in the net for Toronto’s final two games leading up to the playoffs, per head coach Mike Babcock. Andersen did not play in Toronto’s last two games in an effort to get some rest heading into the playoffs, and he now will be starting two games in […]
