Andrei Svechnikov Nets Pivotal Goal Saturday

Andrei Svechnikov scored with six minutes left in Saturday night's game as the Carolina Hurricanes went on to defeat Nashville 3-2.

Frederik Andersen was steady on Thursday night but on Saturday night he stole the show in a win versus the Nashville Predators.

Thomas Chabot Plays a Ton in Ottawa Loss Saturday

Anton Forsberg Highlight Save Does Not Mask Loss

Anton Forsberg made an incredible save on John Tavares Saturday night. However, it was not enough as the Ottawa Senators' goaltender allowed three goals on 29 shots.

Josh Norris Scores in Ottawa Loss to Toronto

William Nylander Assists Again In Toronto Maple Leafs Win

William Nylander keeps stepping up his game. After an excellent first-round against the Montreal Canadiens last playoff, Nylander has played even better this first week of the NHL season. Out of the nine goals, Toronto has scored this season, William Nylander has figured in on five of those. Something lost in the proficiency is this. […]

Jack Campbell Stellar in Net Again for Toronto Maple Leafs

Jack Campbell enjoyed another excellent start in net for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He stopped all but one shot in the 3-1 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.

Ricky Seals-Jones Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

I am falling in love with this play as the week rolls along. RSJ is dirt cheap and has a major opportunity to make some noise this week as this Washington-KC game could absolutely go nuclear. We saw him targeted nine times last week by Heinicke in his first start of the season, catching five […]

Dan Arnold Start or Sit? Week 6 Fantasy Football

Arnold has seemed to find a nice home very quickly with the Jaguars as he has taken hold of the starting TE job for the team that has been in dire need of one for years. He will be looking to continue the momentum from last week where he saw eight targets and finished with […]
