Matt Duchene Delivers Two Assists

Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene helped to set up two goals in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Columbus, picking up a pair of assists in quick succession in the second period. His second helper came with the man advantage. The former Blue Jacket is having a wonderful campaign with 27 points in 28 games. It […]

Boone Jenner Records Two Points Thursday Night

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Boone Jenner put together a two-point performance in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Nashville, notching the team's first goal of the game and helping Patrik Laine on the scoreboard. He was plus-two for the night and finished with four shots, one block and one hit in 22:20 of action. Jenner leads […]

Patrik Laine Scores In His Return

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine made a scoring return to the lineup on Thursday, netting the team's second goal of the night in a 4-3 shootout win over Nashville. He logged nearly 22 minutes of action and was very active all game, registering seven shots on goal and four efforts that missed the target. […]

Brendan Gallagher Picks Up A Lower-Body Injury

Montreal Canadiens right wing Brendan Gallagher suffered a lower-body injury in Thursday's 4-0 loss to Carolina, which forced him to make an early exit. He logged 9:21 of ice time before dropping out of the lineup in the second period. Luckily, he's considered day-to-day, so Gallagher shouldn't miss a lot of action. It's not been […]

Teuvo Teravainen Scores Twice In Thursday's Win

Carolina Hurricanes winger Teuvo Teravainen led all skaters with six shots and two goals in Thursday's 4-0 win over Montreal. The Hurricanes put on a special team clinic, scoring three power-play goals and one short-handed goal. Teravainen grabbed the latter in the opening frame before scoring with the man advantage late in the second. The […]

Antti Raanta Shuts Out Montreal

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta collected his first shutout of the season on Thursday, beating Montreal 4-0 with 26 saves. The Finnish netminder improved to 5-2-1 for the year, and he now boasts a 2.08 goals-against average with a .919 save percentage. Raanta has been a rock-solid backup for Carolina, giving up over two goals […]

Franz Wagner Leads Magic With 20 Points

Orlando Magic small forward Franz Wagner scored a team-high 20 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Thursday's 136-118 loss to Milwaukee, hitting two of his three attempts from deep. He notched three rebounds and one assist as well with three turnovers in 34 minutes. The German is leading the pack in rookie scoring this season, having […]

Jrue Holiday Has A Busy Night Against Magic

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday missed only three shots while popping up everywhere and finishing Thursday's win against Orlando with 25 points, five rebounds, seven assists, three steals and two blocks. He went 8-for-11 from the field and had a 3-for-4 record from deep with a perfect 6-for-6 effort at the foul line. Lineup […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Cruises To 33 Points Against Orlando

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo put up a game-high 33 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in Thursday's win over Orlando, adding five assists and two steals with two blocks and four turnovers. He shot 13-for-22 from the field with a 1-for-4 record from deep and nailed all six free throws. Giannis and Nikola Jokic are […]

Kevin Durant Serves Up 33 Points In His Comeback Game

Brooklyn Nets forward Kevin Durant was back from health and safety protocols Thursday night against the Sixers and went off for 33 points in 38 minutes, shooting 13-for-24 from the field and 3-for-8 from outside. He picked up six rebounds and had four assists with one block and four turnovers. Durant last played on Dec. […]

James Harden Tallies Another 30-Point Triple-Double

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden collected his second 30-point triple-double in three games on Thursday, racking up 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in a 110-102 loss against Philadelphia. The former MVP added two steals with six turnovers and finished with 9-for-20 shooting from the field and with a 14-for-18 effort at the foul […]

Joel Embiid Scores Game-High 34 Points Against Brooklyn

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid continued his great scoring run with a 34-point effort in Thursday's 110-102 win over Brooklyn. His shooting at 11-for-23 was a bit lackluster, but Embiid nailed three three-point bombs with five attempts and hit 9-for-12 at the charity stripe to record his fifth 30-point outing in his last six games. […]

Joel Farabee's Goal Helps Force Overtime On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers left-winger Joel Farabee converted a pass from Oskar Lindblom to tie the game late on Thursday night against the San Jose Sharks. That forced overtime in a game where the Flyers were mostly dominated. The Lindblom duo with Farabee produced several opportunities as Lindblom played less than 12 minutes. Farabee, by contrast, played […]

Felix Sandstrom Nearly Pulls Off Win On Thursday

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Felix Sandstrom got the call with Martin Jones needing a night off on Thursday. Sandstrom knew he was going to face a lot of shots. He probably did not expect to see 46 in all on Thursday night. That is just what happened, as Sandstrom had to again and again steal the […]

Brent Burns Scores A Goal On Thursday

San Jose defenseman Brent Burns just does not score as many goals as he used to. Burns delivered one on Thursday as the Sharks outlasted the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime. The tally by the defenseman was just his third on the season in 32 games. Even with the goal, Burns is still just shooting at […]

James Reimer Does Enough To Win Thursday

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer did just enough to win on Thursday. Thanks to Tomas Hertl and Erik Karlsson, Reimer did not have to worry about the shootout. The goalie did stop 23 of 25 shots against a tired Philadelphia Flyers team. He was one of the goalies most likely to win on Thursday […]

Tomas Hertl Ups Point Streak To Eight Games In Overtime Win

San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl is on some kind of run. Just when it looked like the Philadelphia Flyers might force a shootout, Hertl delivered in the waning seconds of overtime with help from Erik Karlsson. Karlsson set up the play and Hertl finished it as San Jose won 3-2. The San Jose center […]

Eagles Defense A Risky Week 17 Pick

The Philadelphia Eagles defense makes for a risky choice in a Week 17 matchup against the Washington Football Team. The Football Team has been generous to opposing defenses, but the Eagles defensive unit scored just three fantasy points (for a DST26 finish) when the two teams faced off in Week 15. The Eagles have struggled […]

Jake Elliott - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has been a difficult kicker to trust this season as he's been as close to boom-or-bust as a fantasy kicker can be. With an excellent matchup against the Washington Football Team though, he should have some upside in the fantasy finals week. In Week 15 against the Football Team, Elliott […]

Dallas Goedert - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a great option for Week 17 fantasy lineups. Goedert had an excellent Week 15 against the Washington Football Team and gets to take them on again in Week 17. He only scored four fantasy points in Week 16, but should be back in the TE1 ranks against a […]

Bo Horvat's Power-Play Goal Not Enough On Thursday

Vancouver Canucks center Bo Horvat scored on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings. It was not enough in the 2-1 shootout loss but it did help Vancouver gain another point. Horvat was able to find the back of the net with less than eight minutes left in regulation. He found a way to get […]

Jalen Reagor - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor is not a starting option in any Week 17 fantasy finals lineups. Reagor is having a rough sophomore season after being the Eagles first-round pick last year. He's finished outside the top-50 scoring fantasy wide receivers 12 times already this season, and is much more likely to repeat that […]

Quez Watkins - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins is a floor play, at best, in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. Watkins hasn't played to his upside this season, especially in an Eagles offense that has relied heavily on the running game. Watkins will make his two to four catches each week, but he's yet to […]
