Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad had his night cut short by an apparent left leg injury in Sunday's 4-1 win over Dallas. He got tangled up with Esa Lindell in the middle of the second frame and landed awkwardly. Ekblad had to be stretchered off and sadly it looked like a season-ending injury. The 24-year-old […]

Arizona Coyotes goaltender Adin Hill will enter next week on a three-game winning streak after ending Colorado's winning run at seven games and beating San Jose in back-to-back starts.

Vancouver Canucks winger Nils Hoglander was worked his way up to the top line and has been in fine form as of late, going pointless just once in the past five games. It was in a game where the whole team got neutralized as Winnipeg beat the Canucks 4-0 on Monday. Hoglander has seven goals […]

Winnipeg Jets forward Andrew Copp will carry some very good momentum into next week, having gone pointless just once in five games and even producing a big four-goal performance in Wednesday's 5-1 win over Vancouver. The 26-year-old is a third-liner in Winnipeg, but he even has two four-point efforts to his name this season, bagging […]
Taavi Pailk 4 years agoLuke Kunin Returns In Top-Six Role
Nashville Predators forward Luke Kunin returned from a lower-body injury in Saturday's 3-1 win over Chicago and was productive straight away with two assists.

Taavi Pailk 4 years agoJoonas Donskoi Cashing In On Dominant Colorado Team
Colorado Avalanche winger Joonas Donskoi is on a hot streak with the team dominating, having scored in back-to-back outings to register 10 points in eight games. Playing as a third-liner, Donskoi hasn't garnered a lot of attention from fantasy managers, so he remains available in most leagues despite his great form. The Finnish winger will […]

Dallas Stars forward Roope Hintz is carrying a niggling lower-body injury, but he's been very productive in limited game action this month, notching 11 points in nine appearances prior to Sunday's meeting with Florida.

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Zach Aston-Reese is currently skating as a top-six forward with the team missing multiple regulars. He finished this week with a pair of pointless efforts but had a strong start with a two-point outing and should see more success in the upcoming games. The 26-year-old demonstrated a good nose for the goal […]

Taavi Pailk 4 years agoSt. Louis Blues Head Into Two-Game Week
The St. Louis Blues will be the only team in the NHL with a two-game slate for next week and they won't see any game action before Friday, which is awful news for fantasy managers who have rostered Blues players. The light schedule makes the team's bottom-tier players expendable and fantasy managers should closely look around […]

New York Knicks shooting guard RJ Barrett popped up everywhere in Saturday's 102-96 win over Milwaukee, picking up 21 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal. His shooting could've been better, though, as he went 8-for-22 from the field and 3-for-10 from outside. The Knicks were without Julius Randle (thigh), which put more offensive […]

He shot 5-for-9 from the field, including 1-for-3 from downtown, with one assist and one block. For some reason, Stewart earned only six minutes of action in […]

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal logged only 21 minutes in Saturday's win over the Pistons, leaving the game early in the third quarter due to a hip injury. He was already questionable for the game with a sore foot, so the NBA's leading scorer appears to be pretty banged up right now. Beal managed […]

Florida Panthers goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be in the net for Saturday's road game against Dallas.

He has posted a […]

Dallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov (lower body) will remain on the sidelines for Saturday's matchup against Florida.

Dallas Stars goaltender Anton Khudobin will start in Saturday's clash with Florida. Jake Oettinger has delivered three of the Stars' last five victories, but Dallas is going with experience on Saturday against one of the league's most prolific teams.
