New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller (upper body) has landed on Injured Reserve. He was hurt in Wednesday's battle against Buffalo and appears set for a spell on the sidelines.

Dan Vladar Considered Day-To-Day

Calgary Flames goaltender Dan Vladar (lower body) is considered day-to-day. He didn't practice on Friday and might have already been affected by the injury in Thursday's matchup against Tampa Bay, as Vladar had a torrid time with eight goals allowed on 26 shots. Vladar is sharing starts with Dustin Wolf this season and has gone […]

Cam Talbot Re-Aggravates Lower-Body Injury

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot (lower body) will not be available Saturday against Toronto. Talbot returned from a lower-body injury in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Philadelphia, stopping 32 of 34 shots, but he re-aggravated the injury in Friday's practice. Thursday's loss dropped Talbot's record to 6-6-2. Alex Lyon (lower body) also remains out this […]

Matt Dumba To Remain Out On Saturday

Dallas Stars defenseman Matt Dumba (upper body) will miss a second straight game on Saturday versus St. Louis. He might be out for a few more games after the weekend as well, with Stars head coach Peter DeBoer noting that Dumba is "not week-to-week but not day-to-day," Dumba has zero fantasy value these days, as […]

Linus Ullmark Seeks Fourth Straight Win Friday

Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark will make his 18th start of the season in Friday's matchup against Carolina. The 31-year-old faces a difficult challenge against a team that has the fifth-best record in the Eastern Conference and scores 3.71 goals per game, but Ullmark enters the action in good form. He has won three starts […]

Kevin Lankinen Frustrates Panthers With Shutout Performance

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Kevin Lankinen became the third netminder in the league with three-plus shutouts for the season when he kept the Florida Panthers off the scoreboard with 27 saves in Thursday's 4-0 win. Lankinen did most of the work in the second frame, stopping 13 pucks. The Finnish netminder continues to impress this season […]

Nikita Kucherov Racks Up Six Points Against Flames

Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Nikita Kucherov was unstoppable on Thursday against the Calgary Flames, registering a goal and five assists. He was involved in each of the team's first four goals and finished the night with three power-play points. Jake Guentzel bagged a hat trick, and Brayden Points tallied four points while playing next […]

Leon Draisaitl Continues Multi-Point Streak Versus Wild

Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl remained red-hot in Thursday's matchup against Minnesota, leading the way with four points in a 7-1 win. He completed the contest with a goal and three assists, picking up two of his helpers with the man advantage. This was a fourth consecutive multi-point game for Draisaitl, who became the seventh […]

Bryan Rust Tallies Four Points In Big Win

Pittsburgh Penguins right wing Bryan Rust enjoyed a highly productive night against Montreal on Thursday, finishing a 9-2 road victory with his sixth career hat trick and an assist. Rust did all the work in even-strength situations, feasting next to Rickard Rakell and Sidney Crosby, who combined for seven points on Pittsburgh's top line. The […]

Scott Laughton Ties Flyers Record With Four-Goal Performance

Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton was a one-man show against Detroit on Thursday, scoring all of his team's goals in a 4-1 win. He tied the franchise record with the effort, becoming the 10th player in Flyers history to score four goals in a single contest. John LeClair was the last one to do it […]

Ryan O'Reilly Returns With Three-Point Effort

Nashville Predators center Ryan O'Reilly rejoined the lineup and had a great game in Thursday's 4-1 victory at Dallas. He was involved in three goals, lightning the lamp twice and recording one assist. The veteran forward had missed the previous three games with a lower-body injury. O'Reilly's productivity has been disappointing this season, but it […]

Victor Hedman Day-To-Day With A Lower-Body Injury

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman (lower body) is considered day-to-day. The former Norris Trophy winner was a late scratch for Thursday's matchup against Calgary. Hedman's role can not be underestimated on this Tampa Bay team. He's among the league's most productive defensemen offensively, with 25 points (four goals, 21 assists) in 26 outings, and […]

Jake McCabe Available On Thursday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Jake McCabe (upper body) is ready to rejoin the action on Thursday against Anaheim. Following a five-game absence, he has been activated from Injured Reserve. McCabe sits second on the team with 46 blocks and has delivered 52 hits in 23 games, but he's made very little impact offensively. The 31-year-old […]

Scott Mayfield Rejoins Islanders Lineup

New York Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield (illness) will jump back into action on Thursday against Chicago. He was forced to skip Tuesday's meeting with Los Angeles because of an illness. Mayfield's offensive production has been limited to five points (one goal, four assists), but he enjoys doing the dirty work. In 29 appearances, Mayfield has […]

Yanni Gourde Absent Against Bruins

Seattle Kraken center Yanni Gourde (lower body) won't play against Boston on Thursday. He sustained a lower-body injury in Tuesday's matchup against Florida and will be out for a second time this season. The good news is that Gourde is considered day-to-day, so he shouldn't be out for long. His first chance to return comes […]

Jack Drury Set For Hand Surgery

Carolina Hurricanes center Jack Drury is scheduled for hand surgery and will miss some time. Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed Thursday that Drury has injured his thumb. Drury saw just 3:06 of action in Tuesday's matchup against San Jose. He's offered solid production in a limited role for the Hurricanes, registering nine points (three […]

Trevor Zegras To Miss Six Weeks Following Knee Surgery

Anaheim Ducks center Trevor Zegras has undergone successful knee surgery and is expected to miss approximately six weeks of action. The exciting forward has already sat out three games with a torn meniscus in his right knee. Zegras has had a difficult campaign, and the injury is another setback for him. But it's good to […]

Roman Josi Out On Thursday

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi (lower body) will not be in the lineup on Thursday against Dallas. He will skip his first game of the season after sustaining a lower-body injury in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to Calgary. Nashville has just tied its franchise record with an eighth consecutive loss, and Josi's absence is a further […]

J.T. Miller Returns To Action Thursday

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller (personal) will return to the lineup on Thursday against Florida. He has missed 10 games while dealing with a personal issue. Miller has averaged slightly below a point per game this season, recording six goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances. We should see him in a top-six role and […]

Tim Stutzle Notches Two Power-Play Assists Wednesday

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle finished Wednesday's 5-1 victory over Anaheim with two power-play assists. Stutzle's playmaking helped Drake Batherson and Brady Tkachuk to score.

Drake Batherson Tallies Four Points Versus Ducks

Ottawa Senators winger Drake Batherson recorded four points in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Anaheim, scoring his second career hat trick and dishing out one assist. Batherson netted three straight goals after Noah Gregor had lit the lamp early in the game. He finished the contest with three power-play points. Following back-to-back 60-point campaigns, Batherson has […]

Owen Power Picks Up Two Points In Losing Effort

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Owen Power registered a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers. The 22-year-old was benched for most of the first period after Mika Zibanejad scored the game's opening goal on the power play off Power's mistake, but he bounced back well. Rasmus Dahlin's (back) absence has given Power […]

Mika Zibanejad Scores 300th Career Goal

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad celebrated his 300th career goal in Wednesday's 3-2 road victory at Buffalo. He reached the plateau with a power-play marker in the first period. Zibanejad is the eighth Swedish player in NHL history to score at least 300 career goals. Six of his goals have come this season, along […]

Adam Fox Records Three Points In Wednesday's Win

New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox had a three-point night in Wednesday's 3-2 victory against Buffalo. Fox picked up a couple of assists, including a power-play helper, and scored his first goal of the season with the Sabres net empty in the final minutes. The star blue-liner needed to produce 41 shots on goal to […]
