Kari Lehtonen Mans Crease Thursday In Minnesota

Dallas Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen will make his fifth consecutive start in net on Thursday against the Wild. Lehtonen has taken over the starting role since the Stars lost Ben Bishop to injury back on March 18, and overall he has started 11 of the past 13 games. At this point, it'd be difficult to […]

Alex Tuch Has Goals In Consecutive Games

Vegas Golden Knights right wing Alex Tuch scored for the second consecutive game in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Arizona, netting a power-play goal. David Perron sat out the contest, which led to Tuch getting first-line minutes and he was also used on the first power-play unit. He responded by getting his 15th goal of the […]

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Kevin Connauton had his best game of the season against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday, as he scored with two of his four shots on goal in a 3-2 win.

Andrew Hammond Strong In Season Debut

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Andrew Hammond turned aside 31 of 33 shots sent his way on Wednesday night in a loss against the Flyers. Hammond, called up earlier in the day, was filling in for an ill Semyon Varlamov. After a breakout rookie season back in 2014-2015 with the Senators, Hammond has spent much of the […]

Erik Johnson Putting Together Solid Season

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Erik Johnson tallied an assist in a 2-1 loss to the Flyers on Wednesday, adding to what has been a strong season for the American rearguard. Since returning from an injury that kept him out a month, Johnson has put up a goal and two assists as well as 15 shots and […]

Roberto Luongo Surrenders Three First-Period Goals

Goaltender Roberto Luongo and the Florida Panthers failed to gain any more ground on a wild-card spot, dropping Wednesday’s contest 4-3 to Toronto. The Maple Leafs started the game very strong, monopolized playing time in the offensive zone and peppered Luongo with 16 shots, scoring three times. The deficit proved too great for the Panthers […]

Nico Hischier Continues To Produce For Devils

New Jersey Devils forward Nico Hischier has five goals and eight points in his last nine games. The first overall pick of 2017 has spent much of his time recently centering should-be Hart candidate Taylor Hall at even strength, and one of Kyle Palmieri or Jesper Bratt on the right wing. Despite being held pointless […]

Sergei Bobrovsky Holds On For Win Against Oilers

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 25 shots in a 7-3 blowout win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. What a rollercoaster of a game it was.

Matt Murray Gets Another Loss Versus Red Wings

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray surrendered four goals on 25 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Marc-Andre Fleury Starts Versus Coyotes Wednesday Night

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury will guard the cage Wednesday night against the Coyotes.

He's close to his ninth 30-win season, having put together a 28-11-4 record in 43 starts so far with […]

Semyon Varlamov Questionable On Wednesday Due To Illness

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov (illness) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Flyers. Varlamov didn't participate in Tuesday's morning skate due to illness, and as a result, the Avalanche have called up Andrew Hammond as insurance. Varlamov has put together an outstanding March, posting a 2.37 goals-against average and a .933 […]

Frederick Andersen in Crease Against Panthers

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederick Andersen will start Wednesday night against the Florida Panthers. It will be Andersen’s fifth straight start, and he is stuck in a stretch of uncharacteristically mediocre play. In the four games since returning from injury, Andersen has allowed 12 goals and posted a below-average save percentage of .898. Toronto will […]

Joe Hicketts Records First Career Points

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Joe Hicketts picked up two assists on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. In only his second NHL game, Hicketts recorded his first points, the first of which was on the power play.

Cam Talbot Takes On Columbus Tuesday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Cam Talbot will get his 62nd start of the year on Tuesday with the team facing Columbus on home ice. Talbot, like the team as a whole, has gone through some very dark times during the season, but he hasn't done much wrong in his last nine starts, putting together a 7-1-1 […]

Aaron Dell Starts For Sharks In St. Louis

San Jose Sharks goaltender Aaron Dell will make a rare appearance on Tuesday, as the team is finishing off a back-to-back set in St. Louis.

Thomas Vanek Continues To Score In Columbus

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Thomas Vanek (15 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) has four goals and nine points in his last nine games, despite being held pointless in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The trade-deadline acquisition has been playing on the third line with Alex Wennberg and Boone Jenner while getting minutes […]

Jaccob Slavin Creating Offense For Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes defender Jaccob Slavin (12 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) recorded an assist in Monday night's 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators, giving him eight points over his last seven games. While the young defenseman receives little to no power-play time, he does lead the team in overall ice time per game, giving him […]

Devils Roll With Keith Kinkaid Versus Hurricanes

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid will make his third straight start against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night. Kinkaid has clearly taken the reins as the Devils No. 1 goaltender, as Cory Schneider was pulled in his only start in the last seven games.

Matt Murray Looks To Right Ship Against Red Wings

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Matt Murray will make his third consecutive start as the team visits the Detroit Red Wings Tuesday night.

Valentin Zykov Making Good First Impression With Hurricanes

The 23-year-old rookie was called up on March 20 and has made the most out of his time with the big club. Zykov now has three goals and five points in those four games, playing on a line […]

Jacob Markstrom Will Look For Third Consecutive Win Versus Ducks

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Jacob Markstrom is the team's starter in net on Tuesday against the Anaheim Ducks, and he'll be looking for his third consecutive win. Markstrom saved 39 of 41 shots last Thursday against Chicago in a 5-2 win and had a 30-save effort on Sunday against Dallas in a 4-1 result. It's not […]

Tyler Bertuzzi Providing Grit and Scoring

Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi scored a goal and an assist in a 4-2 loss against the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. He also totaled 12 penalty minutes in 16:16 of ice time.

Gustav Nyquist Nets 20 Goals for Third Time in Career

Detroit Red Wings forward Gustav Nyquist scored a goal on Monday night against Montreal, giving him 20 on the season. This is the third time that Nyquist has eclipsed 20 goals in his seven-year career, but he has failed to reach that mark in either of the last two seasons. Early in his career, Nyquist […]

He scored his 40th goal and found two more assists to add to his impressive total of 69 points. Karlsson now sits fourth in the NHL in goals scored, only five behind the leader, Alexander Ovechkin. […]

Jonathan Quick Gets Fifth Shutout In Monday's Win

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick recorded his fifth shutout of the season on Monday, finishing a 3-0 win against the Flames with 23 saves. Calgary had a bunch of top-six forwards missing for various reasons and thus Quick didn't have to work too much. He's the seventh goalie this season to record at least […]

Shea Theodore Extends Point Streak To Four Games

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore has reached the longest point streak of the season, as he's recorded at least one point in four consecutive games. He had two against the Avs on Monday, scoring the team's third one in a 4-1 win and recorded a power-play assist on Jonathan Marchessault's game-winner. Theodore, who had […]
