Matt Murray Will Take On Habs

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will get his fifth straight start as the team takes on the visiting Montreal Canadiens Saturday night. Murray stopped 28 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. His play since returning from injury March 20th leaves something to be desired; he's got a 3.61 […]

John Tavares Scores In Loss To Maple Leafs

New York Islanders center John Tavares is having another good season. He's not Sidney Crosby, by any means, but he's got 34 goals, which is nothing to sneeze at. Tavares briefly tied the game on Friday with a wrist shot in the third, but it was for naught as Toronto scored later on to win […]

Jordan Eberle Has Two Assist In Loss To Maple Leafs

New York Islanders center Jordan Eberle might be a bit overshadowed by both John Tavares and Mathew Barzal, but he's been putting together a pretty good season too. On Friday night, he had two assists to give him 32 on the season, but it wasn't enough as New York fell, 5-4. If you need a […]

Chris Gibson Can't Preserve Leads As Islanders Fall To Leafs

New York Islanders goalie Chris Gibson had the lead given to him not once, not twice, but three times in Friday night's game. He couldn't keep Leafs players from answering back each time and then he gave up the tying and go-ahead goals in the third as New York fell to Toronto, 5-4. Right now, […]

Matt Murray Outlasts Devils In Overtime

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray stopped 28 of 31 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night.

Ondrej Pavelec To Face Tampa On Friday

New York Rangers goaltender Ondrej Pavelec will make a rare start for the club as they take on the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning.

Braden Holtby Confirmed For Caps Versus Canes

Washington Capitals goaltender Braden Holtby will get the starting nod Friday night as the Caps take on the visiting Carolina Hurricanes.

John Gibson Faces Kings On Friday Night

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will start on Friday against the L.A. Kings, looking to get back on track following a surprising 4-1 loss to Vancouver.

Malcolm Subban Starts For Vegas On Friday

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Malcolm Subban will start the first game of a back-to-back set on Friday against the St. Louis Blues, hoping to improve an 11-3-2 record he's put together so far in 16 starts.

Brenden Dillon Offering Some Serious Fantasy Value

Brenden Dillon, a defender for the San Jose Sharks, has been making a name for himself recently. Looking at his past 10 games, Dillon has come up with four goals and five assists. In their past 10 games, the Sharks have a record of 8-1-1, and Dillon has made an impact on the defensive pairings. […]

Max Domi Records Two Points In Coyotes Loss

Arizona Coyotes forward Max Domi was involved in both of the team's goals in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Kings, netting his ninth of the season to make it 2-1 and bagging an assist on Kevin Connauton's opening goal. Domi has actually scored one less than Connauton, which perfectly sums up his season. It's not […]

Anze Kopitar Posts New Career High With Goal No. 35

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar picked up another career high on Thursday, as he finished off the scoring in a 4-2 win with his 35th goal of the year. The Kings captain had already posted career highs in assists and points this season. He's added 54 assists to the goals to make it 89 […]

Los Angeles Kings center Jeff Carter scored his sixth career hat trick on Thursday in a 4-2 win over Arizona and he now has goals in three consecutive games, bagging seven points in total in the last four.

Sam Gagner Fights Off Flu Bug To Score In Canucks Win

Vancouver Canucks forward Sam Gagner was one of many players feeling under the weather on Thursday and multiple players were scratched for the meeting with Edmonton, but he was on the ice and ended up getting his 10th goal of the season. Gagner struggled to cope with Connor McDavid when the Oilers captain opened the […]

Derrick Pouliot Makes History In Canucks Win

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Derrick Pouliot was an unlikely history maker in Thursday's 2-1 win over Edmonton, as he became the first player ever in the NHL whose first five career goals have all turned out to be game-winners. The former Penguin put one past Cam Talbot at the start of the third, with Nikolay Goldobin […]

Logan Couture Ties Career High With Goal No. 32

San Jose Sharks center Logan Couture tied his career high with the 32nd goal of the season on Thursday in a 5-3 loss to Nashville. He put San Jose on the board in the opening period with Brent Burns and Mikkel Boedker, who later scored himself, picking up the assists. Couture is having a good […]

Nashville Predators forward Filip Forsberg recorded three assists in a win against the Sharks on Thursday night. The multi-point effort raised his points-per-game up to 0.92, the highest of his career (previous high was 0.78).

Cam Talbot Looking To Bounce Back Against Canucks

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday's nightmare when taking on the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday. He got pulled after 26 minutes against Columbus on Tuesday after allowing five goals in an eventual 7-3 loss. The result ended Talbot's five-game point streak and it was only his third loss […]

Robin Lehner to Face Red Wings Thursday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Robin Lehner will start Thursday at home against the Detroit Red Wings. Lehner has only played once in Buffalo's last six games, and he was pulled after giving up four goals on 12 shots against the Rangers in that game. Given that Lehner has won only one of his last five starts […]

Jacob Markstrom Takes On Oilers Thursday Night

The Oilers captain has scored 12 goals in 14 games this month, picking up a mind-boggling 27 points. He's had three games with three-plus points in the […]

Darcy Kuemper In Coyotes Net Versus Kings

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper will face his former team on Thursday night, as the team finishes a six-game road trip in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jack Campbell is likely getting the nod for Thursday's tilt with Arizona, as the team starts a back-to-back set.

Ben Bishop Practices In Full Gear, To Be Evaluated Again On Monday

Dallas Stars goaltender Ben Bishop practiced in full gear for the first time since re-injuring his knee in a game against Winnipeg on March 18.
