Andrei Kuzmenko Set To Return To Canucks Lineup Saturday

Vancouver Canucks winger Andrei Kuzmenko will rejoin the lineup Saturday against San Jose. He's been on the shelf for two games as a healthy scratch.

Andrew Cogliano Back In Avalanche Lineup Saturday

Colorado Avalanche center Andrew Cogliano (undisclosed) will rejoin the lineup Saturday versus Arizona. The veteran returns from a two-game absence.

Montreal Canadiens winger Juraj Slafkovsky posted a goal and an assist in Friday's 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Mika Zibanejad Continues Hot Stretch Friday

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad kept the good times going on Friday, posting a goal and an assist in a 4-3 loss to the Edmonton Oilers. Zibanejad's goal was a powerplay marker, but it wasn't his best play of the night. That honor would go to his assist, where he deflected a dump-in behind […]

Patrick Kane Pots Pair Of Goals And Shootout Winner

Detroit Red Wings forward Patrick Kane scored a hat trick of sorts on Friday, notching a pair of goals and adding the shootout winner in a 7-6 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

Kevin Korchinski Jumps Back Into Blackhawks Lineup

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Kevin Korchinski (personal) is ready to return to action against the Canadiens on Friday. The young blue-liner has skipped six games after losing his father.

Philipp Kurashev Good To Go Friday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev (illness) will rejoin the lineup Friday versus Montreal. He missed the previous game with an illness, giving up his spot in the lineup to Cole Guttman.

He's had a solid year with a […]

Jeremy Swayman Takes On Jets Friday

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will be the man between the sticks in Friday's matchup against Winnipeg.

Matt Grzelcyk Won't Play On Friday

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) will sit out Friday's matchup against Winnipeg. He hasn't joined the team for a brief two-game road trip ahead of the holiday break, so we likely won't see him on Saturday versus the Wild either.
