Kris Letang Still Out On Sunday

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (personal) is set to miss a fourth consecutive game Sunday against Arizona.

Robert Bortuzzo Questionable For Sunday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo sustained a lower-body injury Saturday versus Montreal and it's unclear if he is able to play in Sunday's game against Minnesota. He took just five shifts on Saturday and left after logging 3:05 of ice time. Bortuzzo's absence would be another blow for the Blues defense, with Torey Krug […]

Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin produced a sensational five-point performance against Minnesota on Saturday, leading his team to a 6-5 overtime victory. He scored two goals and recorded three assists, setting his new scoring record for a single game. Dahlin's second goal was a late game-tying marker that sent the contest to overtime, and he […]

St. Louis Blues defenseman Nick Leddy will miss Saturday's contest against Montreal with a lower-body injury. According to head coach Craig Berube, Leddy is carrying a lingering issue and he needs some time off. It's possible that he will miss multiple games, as St. Louis will be back in action again on Sunday. The veteran […]

Adam Boqvist Scratched On Saturday

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist will be a healthy scratch for Saturday's matchup against Carolina. Marcus Bjork will be coming in to replace him. Boqvist has just logged his first two points of the season, but head coach Brad Larsen clearly would like to see more from him and will hope that the 22-year-old […]

Filip Hronek Collects Two Assists Against Florida

Detroit Red Wings defenseman Filip Hronek registered two assists as the team took a 3-2 home loss Friday against Florida. He helped Jonatan Berggren to grab the opening goal just 1:04 into the game, but Florida struck back with three unanswered goals, and it wasn't until 16:17 in the third period when Detroit scored again, […]

Aaron Ekblad Ends Dry Spell With Two Goals

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad netted two goals in Friday's 3-2 win over Detroit to put a stop to a seven-game scoring drought. Both of his goals came on the power play.

Kevin Shattenkirk Misses Friday's Contest

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk is battling an illness and won't be able to play Friday against San Jose. The veteran will be replaced in the lineup by Colton White. Anaheim is going through another difficult season and it's had a very negative impact on Shattenkirk's numbers, with him having so far managed only nine […]

Nate Schmidt Available Again

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Nate Schmidt (upper body) will return from a nine-game absence Friday against the Lightning. He was a game-time decision earlier in the week for a meeting with Calgary and wasn't quite ready yet to play then, but head coach Rick Bowness has confirmed that Schmidt will be back on Friday. The 31-year-old […]

Victor Hedman Won't Play On Friday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman will miss Friday's matchup against Winnipeg for personal reasons. He has returned home to be with his wife as the couple is expecting their second child. It's the third game Hedman misses this season. The former Norris Trophy winner had a quiet start to 2022-23, but he has picked […]

Vince Dunn Collects Three Points In Win Over Toronto

Seattle Kraken defenseman Vince Dunn ran the show against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, notching a goal and two assists in a 5-1 road victory. He started out with a power-play assist and Dunn's goal was the eventual game-winner in the contest. It's Dunn's fifth multi-point effort of the season and two of them have […]

Marcus Pettersson A Game-Time Call Thursday

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Marcus Pettersson (undisclosed) is regarded as a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with Vegas. He missed Wednesday's practice for maintenance but was on the ice Thursday morning, so it looks like there's a decent chance that Pettersson will be able to stay in the lineup, although we won't know for sure until […]

Calen Addison Makes Wild History In Wednesday's Win

Minnesota Wild defenseman Calen Addison ended a scoring slump with a goal and two assists in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Lightning, becoming the first rookie blue-liner in franchise history to have multiple three-point games. Sitting on 19 points, Addison is the top-scoring first-year defenseman in the league, but he tends to be very erratic […]

Josh Morrissey Questionable For Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (lower body) is regarded as questionable for Tuesday's matchup against Calgary. He sustained a lower-body injury last week and was able to play through it Saturday versus Edmonton, but it's possible that Morrissey will still need some time off to fully recover. He has been ever-present for the team so […]

John Carlson Set To Miss Multiple Months

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson (face) will miss a fourth consecutive game Tuesday against the Sabres and could be out for multiple months. He was involved in a scary incident right before the holiday break when Carlson took a shot to the face in a game against Winnipeg. The two-time All-Star has exited the lineup […]

David Savard Ready To Return

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (upper body) will re-enter the lineup Tuesday against Nashville.

Rasmus Sandin Expected Back On Tuesday

Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Rasmus Sandin (neck) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday against St. Louis. He has watched the last four games from the sidelines due to a neck issue.

Kris Letang In Doubt For Winter Classic

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang (lower body) remains day-to-day and could be forced to sit out Monday's Winter Classic against Boston.

He has been […]

Erik Karlsson Sets New Record With Another Productive Outing

San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson took his point streak to 13 games in Sunday's matchup against Chicago, setting a new franchise record for the longest point streak by a player.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Radim Simek (upper body) won't be able to play Sunday against Chicago. He suffered an upper-body injury Saturday against Dallas and had to exit the game after logging only 1:51 of ice time. Simek has been a big defensive presence for San Jose, having recorded 62 hits and 52 blocks in […]

Victor Hedman Dishes Out Three Assists

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman was in a giving mood in the final game of 2022, recording three assists in a 5-3 win over Arizona. Two of his helpers came with the man advantage. Hedman has recovered well from a slow start and heads into 2023 with a run of 11 points in eight […]

Daniil Miromanov Gets Injured In Saturday's Win

Josh Morrissey Good To Go Saturday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (lower body) is expected to play Saturday against Edmonton after getting through a full practice session with no issues.

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns tallied two assists Friday in a 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers. Burns added a shot on goal and blocked one shot in the Hurricanes win.
