Vancouver Canucks goaltender Anders Nilsson will likely make his 23rd start of the season in Friday's matchup against St. Louis, as the team finishes off a back-to-back set.

Torey Krug May Return Tonight Against Dallas

Boston Bruins Defensemen Torey Krug is dealing with an upper-body injury, but was at practice this morning in advance of Friday night’s game against the Dallas Stars.

Antti Niemi to Start Friday Night in Buffalo

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Antti Niemi has been named the starter for Friday night’s game against the Buffalo Sabres. Carey Price has returned to the lineup, but with a game Saturday night against Washington, Montreal has decided to split the starts.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Brent Burns scored his first goal since Feb. 15 in Thursday's 2-1 overtime win over Vegas to end a 15-game goal drought, netting the game-tying goal at the start of the second period.

Malcolm Subban Plays Superbly In Unlucky Loss

Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Malcolm Subban played superbly in his first start since Feb. 2, stopping 42 pucks in an unlucky 2-1 overtime loss at San Jose.

Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat is a 20-goal scorer for a second consecutive season, having reached the milestone in Thursday's 5-2 win over Chicago.

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler posted the fourth multi-goal game of his career on Thursday, scoring the team's first and fourth goal in a 5-2 win over Chicago.

Tobias Rieder Scores Twice In Kings Win

Los Angeles Kings forward Tobias Rieder failed to produce when he was bumped to Anze Kopitar's line for one game this week, but he did manage to do some damage as a fourth-liner in Thursday's 7-1 win over Colorado, scoring twice on five shots.

New York Islanders center Anders Lee tried to shoot his team back into Thursday's game, scoring two goals. Alas, it was not meant to be, as New York fell to Tampa Bay, 7-6. Lee now has 38 goals on the season, a very good number for those who have him on their team. The team […]

Andrei Vasilevskiy Has Had A March To Forget

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy made 35 saves on 41 shots in the 7-6 win against the New York Islanders. Vasilevskiy was quite lucky to get the win in this one, as his offense bailed him out tremendously. This subpar play as of late is not news for Vasilevskiy as so far in March; […]

Anthony Cirelli Continues Hot Start To Career

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Anthony Cirelli scored a goal and added an assist in the 7-6 win over the New York Islanders.

Ottawa Senators forward Filip Chlapik scored his first NHL goal against the Edmonton Oilers in the 6-2 loss. 20-year-old Chlapik, who was the 48th pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, has worked his way up in the organization to rank himself high amongst the copious amount of prospects that the Senators have at the center […]

Craig Anderson Has Another Terrible Game

Ottawa Senators goaltender Craig Anderson allowed six goals on 38 shots in the 6-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday.

Alex Goligoski Records Two Goals In Coyotes Loss

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Alex Goligoski recorded two goals in Thursday's 6-5 loss to Carolina, although he put the puck into the net himself only once.

Phillip Grubauer In For Caps Versus Red Wings

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer will get the nod on Thursday night, as the Caps visit the Detroit Red Wings.

Grubauer will look to rebound […]

Alex Lyon Will Face Rangers Thursday Night

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Alex Lyon will take on the visiting New York Rangers for Thursday night's matchup.
