Anthony Duclair Will Be Benched On Sunday

San Jose Sharks winger Anthony Duclair will sit out Sunday's action against Colorado.

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov (illness) will rejoin the action on Saturday against Nashville.

Sean Couturier Will Be Game-Time Decision Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier (undisclosed) is dealing with an unknown injury and is at risk of missing Saturday's game against the Detroit Red Wings.

Shane Wright Called Up To Kraken

Seattle Kraken forward prospect Shane Wright has been recalled from Coachella Valley (AHL). Wright collected 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 18 games with Coachella Valley.

He has taken the reigns as the Coyotes start after starting the season in a split with Karel Vejmelka. […]

Lukas Dostal Will Start Friday, Shouldn't Be Trusted

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Patrik Laine (clavicle) is expected to miss six weeks with a fractured clavicle.

Evan Bouchard Extends Point Streak With Two Assists
