The first pick of last year's draft has […]

Tony DeAngelo Ready For Action Again

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Tony DeAngelo (personal) is set to return from a four-game absence against the Rangers on Saturday. He initially fell out of the lineup as a healthy scratch, but DeAngelo has missed the last few games because there was a death in his family. DeAngelo has blown hot and cold throughout the year, […]

Jakob Chychrun Sets Up Two Goals

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun produced a pair of third-period assists and had six shots and a plus-three rating in Friday's 5-4 win over the Islanders.

Mikhail Sergachev In Doubt For Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev is banged up and might not play Thursday versus Columbus, according to head coach Jon Cooper. The Russian rearguard has yet to miss any games this season, and he should be desperate to keep his ironman streak going, but the team will definitely be looking at a longer perspective […]

Justin Schultz In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Seattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz (upper body) is a major doubt for Thursday's clash with Carolina. The veteran has already sat out one game this week, skipping a meeting with Tampa Bay despite taking part in warmups before the game, and there's a strong chance Schultz won't be able to play on Thursday either.
