Brayden Point Records Unique Hat Trick Versus Capitals

Tampa Bay Lightning center Brayden Point bagged his fifth career hat trick in very strange circumstances in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to Washington. After he had bagged two goals in the first period, Point was credited with a third goal in the final frame when Capitals goaltender Charlie Lindgren put the puck into his own net […]

Filip Gustavsson Records Second Shutout Of The Season

Minnesota Wild goaltender Filip Gustavsson bounced back from two consecutive defeats with a shutout performance on Wednesday versus Buffalo, stopping 39 pucks in a 1-0 road win. The Wild No. 1 became the 10th netminder in the league with multiple shutouts this campaign. Winnipeg's Connor Hellebuyck sits at the top of the pile with three. […]

Taylor Hall Turns Back The Clock With Fifth Hat Trick

Chicago Blackhawks left wing Taylor Hall regained his MVP form for one night as he netted his fifth career hat trick in Wednesday's 6-2 win over Dallas. Hall started the damage just 17 seconds into the game and already had two goals inside six minutes. He hadn't scored three goals in a single game since […]

Jordan Binnington Celebrates Historic Victory Wednesday

Leo Carlsson Day-To-Day With An Upper-Body Injury

Anaheim Ducks center Leo Carlsson (upper body) is considered day-to-day by the team. The 19-year-old talent was hurt on Monday versus Seattle and didn't play in Wednesday's rematch between the two teams. Mason McTavish replaced Carlsson on the first line, bagging an assist on a Trevor Zegras goal late in a 5-2 win. McTavish will […]

Bobby McMann Considered Day-To-Day Following Wednesday's Exit

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Bobby McMann (lower body) is considered day-to-day. McCann suffered a lower-body injury in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Florida, exiting after logging 10:21 of ice time. The team plans to evaluate McCann further on Thursday to determine the full severity of his injury. McMann has worked as a first-line winger lately […]

Pavel Buchnevich Suffers A Lower-Body Injury

St. Louis Blues forward Pavel Buchnevich exited Wednesday's 3-0 win over New Jersey with a lower-body injury. Buchnevich recorded an assist just nine seconds into the game but was limited to 8:54 of ice time. Blues head coach Jim Montgomery announced after the game that Buchnevich is currently considered day-to-day. The Russian forward has been […]

Jonathan Drouin Out Week-To-Week

Colorado Avalanche left wing Jonathan Drouin (upper body) faces another spell on the sidelines. On Wednesday, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar announced that Drouin is considered week-to-week with an upper-body injury. The silky forward has already missed a large chunk of the season with an upper-body problem, skating in only a handful of games. He […]

Roope Hintz Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz (undisclosed) will not be available for Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. He is reportedly dealing with a "tweak." Dallas' first-line center has amassed 13 points (eight goals, five assists) in 20 outings this season. Colin Blackwell comes into the lineup to replace Hintz, but we will likely see somebody else fill […]

Mikael Granlund Remains Sidelined Wednesday

San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will sit out a second straight game on Wednesday versus Ottawa. San Jose's leading scorer missed his first game of the season Monday night against Los Angeles and continues to rehab an upper-body injury. With Granlund on the shelf, Macklin Celebrini produced his first career three-point outing […]

William Karlsson Back In Action Wednesday

Vegas Golden Knights center William Karlsson (personal) will re-enter the lineup on Wednesday against Colorado. He was unavailable for Monday's matchup against Philadelphia due to a personal issue. An undisclosed injury delayed Karlsson's season debut, limiting him to 13 appearances in 2024-25. He's posted four goals and 10 points. Considering his situation, Karlsson has done […]

Alex Pietrangelo Returns To Golden Knights Lineup

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (upper body) will return from a three-game absence on Wednesday against Colorado. He will take Robert Hagg's position in the lineup and should join his regular partner, Noah Hanifin, in a first defensive pairing role. Pietrangelo has had a productive campaign with 14 points (two goals, 12 assists) in […]

Patrick Kane Misses Second Consecutive Game

Detroit Red Wings right wing Patrick Kane (upper body) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Calgary. Kane missed his first game of the season against the Islanders on Monday.

Mike Matheson Unavailable Wednesday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) will miss a second consecutive game on Wednesday against Columbus. After sitting out Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to Utah, Matheson traveled with the team to Columbus, but he isn't quite ready to rejoin the action. Lane Hutson has replaced Matheson on the first power-play unit, with Kaiden Guhle […]

Auston Matthews Remains Out On Wednesday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (upper body) will miss a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus Florida. Matthews returned to full practice on Tuesday, and there was a chance he might be ready to re-enter the lineup. However, he will end up sitting out one more game.

He also collected three blocks in the game and had one hit in 17:11 of ice time. Struble has made 16 consecutive appearances, working mostly on the third defensive pairing. Generally, he's […]

Dylan Guenther Bags Two More Points Against Canadiens

Utah Hockey Club right wing Dylan Guenther celebrated his 100th career game with a two-point effort in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win against Montreal. He now boasts six points (three goals, three assists) for his last three outings. Guenther has a tendency to blow hot and cold, but he's delivered plenty of value for fantasy managers […]

Nick Schmaltz Records Two Assists In Tuesday's Win

Utah Hockey Club forward Nick Schmaltz grabbed two assists as the team beat Montreal 3-2 in overtime Tuesday night. Dylan Guenther and Mikhail Sergachev benefited from Schmaltz's playmaking, with the latter scoring the game-winning goal inside the final minute of the extra frame. Schmaltz reached 17 assists for the campaign, but amazingly, he hasn't yet […]

Conor Garland Extends Scoring Streak With Two-Point Effort

Vancouver Canucks right wing Conor Garland tallied a goal and an assist in Tuesday's 2-0 win over Boston. His work helped Jake DeBrusk grab a power-play goal in the second period, and Garland iced the game with an empty-netter inside the final minute of play. The 28-year-old is currently enjoying a hot spell, grabbing at […]

Kevin Lankinen Shuts Out Bruins

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen registered a 32-save shutout against the Boston Bruins in Tuesday's 2-0 win. The 29-year-old continued his success in the Canucks crease in style, earning his second shutout of the season.

Mike Matheson Traveling With Team

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson (lower body) will travel with the team to Columbus for Wednesday's clash with the Blue Jackets. The veteran blue-liner was a late scratch for Tuesday's game against Utah, but it looks like his injury isn't too serious. Matheson is the leader of the Canadiens defense, averaging over 24 minutes of […]
