Clayton Keller Held Without Point in Arizona Defeat

Clayton Keller did have several good opportunities on Saturday night versus the New York Islanders.

It was an interesting night for the forward who had to feel like no matter what he […]

Karel Vejmelka Allows Three Goals in Saturday Night Loss

Karel Vejmelka did not have the worst night but did not have the best one either. Vejmelka stopped 21 of 24 shots on Saturday night against the New York Islanders. Again, the Arizona Coyotes' goaltender received little or no support. It will be interesting what Arizona does going forward with their goaltending situation. One thing […]

Cal Clutterbuck Nets Game Winning Goal in Islanders' Victory

Cal Clutterbuck scored some kind of goal for the first tally of the night in Arizona. The winger got eight hits in all on the night as he constantly punished the Arizona Coyotes all game long.

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton keyed his team's victory over the Spurs on Saturday with a game-high 28-point effort.

Doug McDermott Drops Team-High 25 Points

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Doug McDermott had it working from long range during Saturday's defeat to the Bucks, shooting 7-for-11 from behind the arc en route to a 25-point showing.

Karl-Anthony Towns Curtailed By Foul Trouble In Win

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns appeared on track for a massive scoring performance in Saturday's win over New Orleans, but then foul trouble struck. Towns dropped 15 points in the first quarter alone, but he eventually fouled out of the game, limiting his production to 25 points in 29 minutes. All was not for naught: […]

Jonas Valanciunas Dominates En Route To Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas may be in a new uniform, but he remains the double-double threat of old.

In addition to logging an impressive 36 minutes, Valanciunas tossed in three steals and […]

Nickeil Alexander-Walker Logs Double-Double On Rough Night

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker may have finished with 14 points and 14 rebounds -- the latter of which set a new career high -- on Saturday, but there were some rough shooting figures underneath the surface.

Kyle Okposo Continues Hot Stretch with Another Assist

Kyle Okposo assisted on the Dylan Cozens power-play goal during the first period. That gave him four points in five games for the right-winger. Let's face it.

Dylan Cozens Scores Power Play Tally in Defeat

Dylan Cozens had another rather solid night for the Buffalo Sabres against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday. The center scored on the power play during his one shift on the man advantage.

Nico Hischier Finally Lights Lamp and It Counts

Nico Hischier had a few goals disallowed in the early going this year. However, down 1-0, Hischier took a beating and looked very hurt. Yet, he soldiered on and found a way to score on the power play. That power-play goal tied the game at 1 and paved the way for the overtime heroics. Hischier […]

Nico Daws Shines for New Jersey in Unexpected Start

Nico Daws was pressed into duty after the ineffectiveness of Scott Wedgewood on Thursday against Washington. For the first 20 minutes, New Jersey fell behind 1-0 but Daws stood tall.

Trae Young Leads All Scorers With 24 Points

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young had a game-high 24 points on 8-for-22 shooting in Saturday's 101-95 loss to Cleveland.

Conor Garland One to Watch for Vancouver Canucks

Conor Garland has performed well this season for the Vancouver Canucks. About the only thing he has not excelled at is shots on goal. He has just eight in five games for Vancouver. However, he does have two goals and four assists in October. He is averaging 17:21 ATOI for 2021-22. His career average is […]

Alex Ovechkin Continues Hot Start With Two Points

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin added another pair of points to his tally in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to Calgary, producing his fifth goal of the campaign and picking up an assist on Martin Fehervary's first career goal.
