1 month agoVegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson came away with the victory in a third consecutive start on Monday, backstopping the team to a 2-1 overtime win against St. Louis with 31 saves. Thompson was only beaten in the game by Brandon Saad, who ruined his shutout bid with 5:07 left to play in regulation. The 27-year-old has turned on his form at a good time, as Vegas has lost Adin Hill (undisclosed) from the lineup. Hill's injury means that we will likely see Jiri Patera between the sticks on Tuesday versus Nashville. If Hill can't return on Thursday against Winnipeg, Thompson will get a chance to improve a 20-12-5 record. He has allowed 2.72 goals with a .907 save percentage.

1 month agoVegas Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore kept his recent good form going with an assist in Monday's 2-1 overtime win against St. Louis. He collected the helper when setting up Jonathan Marchessault for the game-winner early into the extra frame. Theodore is averaging a point per game for his last eight appearances. He's been absent a lot in 2023-24, but Theodore is making up for lost time by giving fantasy managers plenty to cheer about during a crucial part of the season. The 28-year-old also boasts a point-per-game scoring pace for the campaign, with four goals and 32 assists registered across 36 outings.

1 month agoVancouver Canucks right wing Brock Boeser bagged his 37th goal of the season in Monday's 3-2 losing effort against the Kings. He was on target with 2:53 left to play in the third period. Boeser's goal-scoring form has dipped in the past couple of months, but he's still crushed his previous career high and is on pace for his first 70-point campaign. The 27-year-old currently sits on 68 points (37 goals, 31 assists) through 72 games. Only Florida's Sam Reinhart (27) and Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl (19) have struck more power-play goals than Boeser (15) in 2023-24.

1 month agoLos Angeles Kings goaltender Cam Talbot posted his fourth consecutive victory in Monday's 3-2 win over the Canucks. He gave up a first-period goal to Sam Lafferty but played a rock-solid game overall and finished with 21 saves. Brock Boeser got the second one past Talbot late in the game. The four-game winning streak matches Talbot's season best. He's posted a 23-16-6 record while allowing 2.43 goals with a .917 save percentage. Talbot will need to survive a meeting with Connor McDavid and the Oilers next to keep his winning run going.

Thompson's battery mate, Adin Hill, left Saturday's game against the Columbus Blue Jackets with an undisclosed injury, although Thompson was already scheduled to start Monday's contest.
