Seth Jones' Rough Season Continues For Chicago

Even when it looks like nothing will go wrong on the night for Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Seth Jones, an innocent shot happens to bounce off him. Naturally, the puck found its way past goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury. It has been that kind of season for Jones, whose $9.5 million AAV extension does not kick in until […]

Brandon Hagel Continues Strong Play In Chicago Loss

Brandon Hagel keeps playing well for Chicago in an increased role. His ice time is now over 16 minutes a night. Against St. Louis, he had five shots on goal and three scoring chances. If it was not for Jordan Binnington twice, Chicago may have ended its losing streak. Hagel continues to improve at both […]

Marc-Andre Fleury Shines In Chicago Defeat

Marc-Andre Fleury faced 23 shots in the first 25 minutes on Saturday night. He stopped them all. Fleury did allow a power-play tally early in the third period as Chicago fell to St. Louis. The goaltender got little support as the Blackhawks mustered just 25 shots in all. It was, by far, the best Fleury […]

David Perron Handles Way To Power-Play Assist

David Perron fired three shots on goal, had three scoring chances, and a secondary helper in the St. Louis 1-0 home win on Saturday night. The winger is now up to nine points on the season in seven games. He was able to get the puck to Vladimir Tarasenko who helped set up Torey Krug. […]

Torey Krug Pots Power-Play Goal In St. Louis Victory

Torey Krug scored an early third-period goal on the man-advantage to help give the St. Louis Blues a 1-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. That lifted the St. Louis record to 6-1 on the season. It was Krug's first goal of the season. It was Krug's sixth point in October through just seven contests. Krug […]

Jordan Binnington Posts Shutout Of Blackhawks Saturday

Jordan Binnington had a far easier night than most expected. He only had to stop 25 shots in a 1-0 shutout of the Chicago Blackhawks Saturday. The Blues' goaltender upped his record to 5-1 and saw his goals-against average come back down under 3. It was a welcome night for Binnington who had faced 40 […]

Zach Aston-Reese Dishes Two Helpers In Home Defeat

Zach Aston-Reese and the Pittsburgh Penguins' third line was the best line for Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Reese, in particular, had two assists, a couple of shots, and generated three scoring chances. His line was a major play driver all game long and not surprisingly, Aston-Reese was also a +2 to go along with his […]

Tristan Jarry Allows Four Goals In Home Loss

Tristan Jarry had one of those nights in net for Pittsburgh. He stopped 36 of 40 shots in a 4-2 loss to New Jersey on Saturday night. Jarry had pucks go off teammates, a short-handed goal, and a penalty shot. If that was not enough, the goaltender tried to get off the ice during an […]

Sidney Crosby Returns But Held Scoreless In Loss

Sidney Crosby returned on Saturday night but did not factor into any of the Pittsburgh scoring on Saturday night. In the 4-2 loss, Crosby fired two shots on goal Saturday and had a couple of scoring chances too. His line had a rough night though as they were on the ice for three New Jersey […]

Jesper Bratt Scores Game-Winner Against Pittsburgh

Jesper Bratt drew a penalty shot during the third period in Pittsburgh. The winger took advantage of his shot and slid one past Tristan Jarry to give New Jersey a 3-2 lead. New Jersey would not give up that lead. Bratt also added an assist as well. It was the type of game that illustrated […]

Andreas Johnsson Strikes Twice In New Jersey Victory

Andreas Johnsson is starting to feel comfortable in New Jersey. He did not just score once. He scored twice against Pittsburgh on the road Saturday night. One of the goals Johnsson simply called bank as he bounces the puck off the defenseman and in the net. The other was a great play that showed Johnsson's […]

Jonathan Bernier Returns, Backstops New Jersey To Win

Jonathan Bernier returned from a lower-body injury to stop 33 of 35 shots in a New Jersey road win. Bernier not only stopped several high-danger chances, but he also kept a returning Sidney Crosby off the scoreboard. The biggest difference the goaltender made was the penalty kill that allowed New Jersey to take and hold […]

Jaylen Brown Scores 34 Points In Losing Effort

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown missed all five attempts from deep against Washington on Saturday but still ended up having a big 34-point game in a double-overtime loss. He finished 14-for-24 from the field and had a 6-for-7 record at the charity stripe with six rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three turnovers […]

Kyle Kuzma Grabs Career-High 17 Rebounds

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma rocked the glass in Saturday's double-overtime win against Boston, notching a career-high 17 rebounds. He added 17 points on 6-for-14 shooting for a nice double-double and finished things off with one assist and two blocks. Kuzma finally found his touch from deep as well, going 2-for-4 from downtown. The two […]

Bradley Beal Scores 36 Points In Saturday's Win

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal led all scorers with 36 points on 12-for-32 shooting in Saturday's 115-112 double-overtime win against Boston. He was 3-for-8 with the three-ball and added seven rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block to his tally with four turnovers in 46 minutes. Efficiency was a problem here for Beal, […]

Josh Anderson Has Two Points, Six Shots Against Kings

Montreal Canadiens right wing Josh Anderson registered his second consecutive multi-point outing and fired off a game-high six shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Kings. He opened the scoring 18:22 into the first period and grabbed an assist on a Ben Chiarot goal late on. Anderson also delivered two hits in the contest and […]

Darcy Kuemper To Start For Avalanche

Darcy Kuemper will indeed start for the Colorado Avalanche in net against the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night. Kuemper has had a bit of a wild ride on the season and has a 3.19 goals-against-average and a .893 save percentage. It is safe to say this is not how the Colorado goaltender expected his season […]

Anze Kopitar Produces Third Multi-Point Outing

Los Angeles Kings center Anze Kopitar recorded his third multi-point outing of the season on Saturday, finishing a 5-2 victory over Montreal with two assists. He helped Viktor Arvidsson and Arthur Kaliyev to score, with the latter goal coming on a power play. The Kings are off to an awful start to the season but […]

Jacob MacDonald To Suit Up At Forward For Avalanche

Jacob MacDonald is normally a defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche. However, on Saturday he will be suiting up as a forward. This is because of injuries to the Colorado forward core. As it stands now, MacDonald will be playing fourth-line right-wing. That means he will likely see around ten minutes of ice time. In his […]

Alex Iafallo Notches Three Points As Kings End Slide

Los Angeles Kings left wing Alex Iafallo came up big on Saturday against Montreal as the team ended a six-game losing streak, picking up three points in a 5-2 victory. He had one goal and assist on the power play and also picked up an even-strength goal in the third period. The 27-year-old finished the […]
