New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist allowed two goals on 33 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout victory against the Colorado Avalanche.

Semyon Varlamov Busy In Tuesday's Road Loss

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov allowed just two goals on 43 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 setback in a shootout against the New York Rangers in Madison Square Garden.

Anton Khudobin Makes 31 Stops In Spot Start

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin stopped 31 of the 34 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 setback against the New Jersey Devils. Khudobin was spelling the overworked Ben Bishop, who received the night off after working in Ottawa on Monday.

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid stopped all 24 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 victory against the Dallas Stars for his second shutout of the season.

Evgeny Svechnikov Out 5-6 Months

Detroit Red Wings prospect Evgeny Svechnikov will miss the next five to six months recovering from knee surgery. Svechnikov suffered the injury in the Red Wings final preseason game.

Petr Mrazek Gets The Nod On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Petr Mrazek will be starting on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Curtis McElhinney carried the team in the first few games and posted a perfect record with three starts, but Mrazek will now be starting for the second time in a row.

Louis Domingue In Bolts Goal For Canes Visit

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Louis Domingue will make his season debut on Tuesday, with him selected as the starter for a home game against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Nick Bjugstad Will Play Versus Flyers

Florida Panthers forward Nick Bjugstad will be in the team's lineup on Tuesday against Philadelphia after shaking off an upper-body injury. Bjugstad, who skates on the team's top line, missed Monday's practice and he was questionable for the game. He's had a pretty quiet start to the season, with his one goal, four shots, and […]

Michael Hutchinson Makes His Panthers Debut On Tuesday

Florida Panthers goaltender Michael Hutchinson will make his team debut on Tuesday against Philadelphia. The former Jet signed a one-year deal with the Cats during the offseason, and he started the year third in the pecking order, but Roberto Luongo's (lower body) absence and James Reimer's recent unimpressive play will give him a chance to […]

Nico Hischier Good To Go On Tuesday

New Jersey Devils center Nico Hischier, who left Monday's practice early, has been given the green light to play on Tuesday against Dallas. According to reports, Hischier hurt his ankle in Sunday's win over San Jose, and that was likely the reason why he didn't feel quite right the day after. It could still affect […]

Dustin Byfuglien To Miss Second Consecutive Game On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien will miss his second straight game due to an upper-body injury on Tuesday night. Byfuglien suffered the injury in Saturday's practice when he crashed into the boards during a drill.

Keith Kinkaid In Search Of Fourth Win On Tuesday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid gets to face a tired Stars team on Tuesday night. Dallas played in Ottawa on Monday and couldn't add any points with a 4-1 loss.

J.T. Compher Out Indefinitely With Head Injury

Colorado Avalanche winger J.T. Compher is out indefinitely with a head injury. Compher had three goals and an assist through five games in 2018-19. The injury likely happened during Saturday's game against the Calgary Flames. The 23-year-old had a strong start to the campaign, but it is doubtful that this injury impacted many fantasy managers. […]

Connor Hellebuyck Returns To Crease On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will get the nod in goal as his team takes on the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday. Despite giving up three goals in a loss against the Predators in his last start, Hellebuyck has posted strong numbers throughout his first four games with his two wins, 2.50 goals against average and […]

Alex Galchenyuk Cleared For Contact

Arizona Coyotes center Alex Galchenyuk (lower body) has been cleared for contact. He skated at practice on Tuesday morning. There is no set timetable for his return, but this is a step in the right direction. The 24-year-old became out of favor in Montreal and was looking forward to a fresh start with the 'Yotes. […]

Sean Monahan Back On Ice For Tuesday's Practice

Calgary Flames center Sean Monahan was back at practice on Tuesday after taking a maintenance day Monday. Monahan was back in his top-line role alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Elias Lindholm.

Antti Niemi Good Enough To Win On Monday

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Antti Niemi stopped 25 of the 28 shots that came his way during a 7-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.

Brendan Gallagher Nets Third Goal Of The Season

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher deposited a slick feed from Tomas Tatar for his third goal of the season during a 7-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. The diminutive forward has four points through five games to start the season. Gallagher surprisingly scored 31 goals in 2017-18, but the performance was overshadowed by […]

Jonathan Drouin Scores Twice, Breaks Out Of Slump

Montreal Canadiens left wing Jonathan Drouin scored once on a penalty shot and once on the power play during a 7-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night.

Jimmy Howard Pulled After Giving Up Five Goals

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard allowed five goals on 20 shots during Monday's blowout loss to the Montreal Canadiens.

Thomas Vanek Registers Power-Play Goal On Monday

Detroit Red Wings left wing Thomas Vanek drove home a power-play marker for his first goal (and point) of the season during Monday's 7-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens. He also had seven hits in the contest. The 34-year-old was surprisingly productive in 2017-18 with 24 goals and 32 assists in 80 games split between […]

Andreas Athanasiou Scores Twice In Blowout Loss

Detroit Red Wings center Andreas Athanasiou was one of the lone bright spots during a 7-3 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. Athanasiou scored his first two goals of the season to go along with five shots and a +1 rating. The speedy 24-year-old has premium scoring chances in seemingly every game he […]

P.K. Subban Busy In Monday's Home Victory

Nashville Predators defenseman P.K. Subban picked up a power-play assist in the first period of Monday's 4-2 win against the Minnesota Wild and he added an assist on Miikka Salomaki's empty-net tally to close out the scoring as he snapped a personal three-game point drought.
