Philipp Grubauer Makes His Second Start In A Row

Washington Capitals goaltender Philipp Grubauer will make his second consecutive start for the Caps as they visit the San Jose Sharks on Saturday afternoon.

Petr Mrazek Gets The Win For Flyers Versus Jets

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Petr Mrazek found his way back in the win column Saturday afternoon against the visiting Winnipeg Jets. The 2-1 win snapped a four-game losing streak for the Czech netminder. He had allowed a total of 18 goals during that span. The Flyers as a whole are having a power outage in the […]

Jonathan Bernier Returns Saturday For Avalanche

Colorado Avalanche netminder Jonathan Bernier will get the start against the Arizona Coyotes, his first start since his injury. Bernier suffered a concussion in the game against the Winnipeg Jets, which landed him on Injured Reserve, but he will return to the crease for his 30th start of the season. It seems that Bernier and […]

Roman Josi Draws Back Into Predators Lineup

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi will return to action Saturday against the New Jersey Devils. Josi missed the last four games with an upper-body injury, and the Predators likely rested him a few extra games considering their depth on defense. Josi is having an excellent season, as he is up to 10 goals and 34 assists […]

Jean-Gabriel Pageau Making the Most of Increased Role

Ottawa Senators center Jean-Gabriel Pageau has moved onto the second line in Ottawa after the departure of Derick Brassard and has responded with three goals in his last five games. Pageau had been playing on the third line earlier in the season in more of a defensive role, but now that his role and playing […]

Robin Lehner to Start Against Vegas For Third Game in a Row

Buffalo Sabres goalie Robin Lehner will start in net against the Vegas Golden Nights on Saturday afternoon. Last week it looked like backup Chad Johnson was starting to take over the starter's duties, but now that Lehner is starting his third straight game, it looks like his role is safe. Starter or not, Buffalo's crease […]

Darcy Kuemper Likely Coyotes Starter Again On Saturday

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper will likely make a third consecutive start on Saturday against Colorado, with Antti Raanta (lower body) still listed as day-to-day. Kuemper has been solid in the previous two starts, picking up a 2-1 win against Vancouver last time out with 16 saves and losing only in overtime 4-3 against Edmonton […]

Connor Hellebuyck Will Start Against Philadelphia

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will be guarding the twine against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Hellebuyck made 41 saves on 43 shots in the win over the New Jersey Devils, posting a 2.33 goals-against average and .937 save percentage. Hellebuyck has won five of his last seven starts, including a shutout against St. Louis. […]

Mike Condon Stops 35 Shots In Loss To Flames

Ottawa Senators goaltender Mike Condon made 35 stops on 37 shots in a 2-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Friday night. Condon’s impressive play was the only thing that kept the score close. The Flames could have run away with the game in the first and second periods if it wasn’t for some very […]

Ryan Miller Suffers Unlucky Loss

Anaheim Ducks goalie Ryan Miller, who had 41 saves in a recent shutout against Dallas, frustrated the Stars again on Friday, but they did manage to solve him in the end with two power-play goals. Miller had 30 saves, including 17 in the second period, before Devin Shore finally put one past him and Jamie […]

Ryan Getzlaf Extends Point Streak To Five Games

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf scored his 10th goal of the season in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Stars to extend his point streak to five games. Getzlaf has mostly picked up assists like there's no tomorrow, so it was nice to see him scoring for a change. Overall, he's bagged 12 points during the […]

Sam Bennett Has Goals In Consecutive Outings

Calgary Flames forward Sam Bennett scored in a second consecutive game on Friday, opening the scoring in a 2-1 win over Ottawa. It's the first time this season Bennett has managed to score in back-to-back games, so you could say that he's playing his best hockey of the year right now. He's up to 11 […]

David Rittich Just Misses First Shutout Again

Calgary Flames goalie David Rittich must be wishing for more luck from the hockey gods at night, as he's narrowly missed his first career shutout in consecutive games. He let one past him with just 18 seconds to go in Wednesday's win over Buffalo and was scored on by a third-period penalty shot in Friday's […]

Jamie Benn Scores Game-Winning Goal, Adds Assist In Win

Dallas Stars left winger Jamie Benn recorded his 15th multi-point performance of the season in Friday's win against the Ducks. Benn has not necessarily looked like his normal self on the ice recently, but fantasy owners would have a difficult time knowing, as the large power forward has now posted seven points in his last […]

Kari Lehtonen Sparkles In Win On Friday

Dallas Stars goaltender Kari Lehtonen was excellent in net on Friday, backstopping his team to an important 2-1 victory against the Ducks. Lehtonen stopped 26 of 27 shots faced, recording his first win since taking over starting duties from Ben Bishop (lower-body injury). In fact, the Finnish netminder has allowed just two goals on 60 […]

Tyler Seguin Registers Two Assists in Win

Dallas Stars center Tyler Seguin posted two assists in a 2-1 win against the Ducks on Friday. Despite seeing his six-game point streak (seven goals and four assists) come to an end on Tuesday, Seguin's two-point performance indicated that he would like to start another one. Both of Seguin's helpers came on the power play […]

Auston Matthews Out Saturday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (shoulder) has been officially ruled out for the Leafs Saturday contest against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The timetable for his recovery is unclear, although there is a possibility the Maple Leafs may keep him off the ice longer than necessary. Toronto has a firm grasp on third place in the […]

Ryan McDonagh Cleared For Contact, May Play Saturday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh (hand) has been cleared for contact by team doctors and participated normally during the Lightning’s practice on Friday. McDonagh was acquired by Tampa from the New York Rangers at the trade deadline on Feb. 26 but has not played for the Lightning yet. The 28-year-old may make his debut […]

Tuukka Rask Gets Nod For Saturday, Anton Khudobin To Start Sunday

The Boston Bruins will play a home-and-home series versus the Chicago Blackhawks this weekend, and have announced that goaltenders Tuukka Rask and Anton Khudobin will start on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Rask played in his first game since March 1st on Thursday, returning from a minor injury to make 31 saves and defeat the Philadelphia […]

Sam Gagner Replaces Jake Virtanen On Canucks First Line

Vancouver Canucks forward Sam Gagner will be bumped up to the first line for Friday's game versus Minnesota. Jake Virtanen was the first guy getting a look following a season-ending injury to Brock Boeser, but he failed to impress on Wednesday against Arizona, finishing with no points and just one shot on goal in 18 […]

Jacob Markstrom Questionable For Friday's Tilt

Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom missed practice on Thursday with an illness, which makes him questionable to play on Friday night against Minnesota. The 28-year-old has had some really nice performances recently, including a 39-save effort against Nashville, so it would certainly be a blow for him personally to miss out. Anders Nilsson will take […]

Ryan Miller The Likely Starter For Ducks On Friday

Anaheim Ducks goalie Ryan Miller looks set for his first start since Feb. 25 on Friday as the team faces Dallas on away ice. The Ducks play their second game in as many nights and goalie John Gibson hasn't played both games of a back-to-back set all season, so unless something unexpected happens, Miller will […]

David Rittich In Net For Flames Again On Friday

Calgary Flames goalie David Rittich will get a second consecutive start on Friday with the team facing Ottawa on the road. Rittich has played second fiddle recently to Jon Gillies, but he impressed on Wednesday against the Sabres, making 25 saves and missing his first career shutout by just 18 seconds. He boasts a 7-5-3 […]

Zach Werenski Gets Two Points In Win Over Colorado

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski scored his 14th goal and added an assist Thursday night against the visiting Colorado Avalanche. The 20-year-old now has six points in his last five games, bringing his total up to 32 on the season.

Ryan Spooner Gets Three Points In Loss To Lightning

New York Rangers forward Ryan Spooner (14 percent owned in Yahoo! leagues) notched his 11th goal and added two assists in Thursday night's loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 26-year-old has been rejuvenated since his trade from Boston; he now has eight points in six games with his new club. He is seeing time on […]

Henrik Lundqvist Pulled In Loss To Lightning

New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist was pulled after allowing four goals in a 5-3 loss to the Lightning on Thursday night. The veteran netminder stopped 27 of 31 shots when he was yanked halfway through the second period. Alexandar Georgiev stopped 13 of 14 shots in relief. In their defense, the Lightning peppered the rebuilding […]

Roberto Luongo Shuts Out Montreal

Florida Panthers goaltender Roberto Luongo continued his excellent performance in a 5-0 beatdown of the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. The 38-year-old earned the first star in the match, facing 40 shots and stopping all of them. The game marks the 13th win and second shutout of the season, which he has only played 24 games […]

Jeff Petry Tallies Eight Shots in Losing Effort

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Jeff Petry recorded a game-high eight shots in a loss to the Florida Panthers. While eight shots in a game certainly is rare for the veteran blue-liner, he does have the fifth most shots on Montreal this season and 10 goals to show for it. Better known for his contributions in hits […]

Jake Allen Stops 34 Of 35 Shots In Loss On Thursday

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen was outstanding on Thursday in a 2-0 loss in San Jose. Allen's performance was a sigh of relief for fantasy owners still starting him, ending a five-game drought in which the goalie failed to post a save percentage above .897. The 27-year-old goaltender's ownership is down to just 85 […]

Evgenii Dadonov Continues To Produce For Panthers

Florida Panthers forward Evgenii Dadonov maintained his impressive pace this season, scoring a goal and an assist during the Panthers 5-0 blowout against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night. Dadonov has now recorded six straight multi-point games on the Panthers top line. The 28-year-old left wing/right wing has come out of nowhere in the final few […]
