Tim Stutzle Becomes Youngest Senator With 50 Assists

Ottawa Senators forward Tim Stutzle enjoyed a second consecutive multi-point outing and became the team's youngest-ever player with a 50-assist season in Monday's 3-2 victory over Carolina. The 21-year-old helped Claude Giroux on the scoreboard in the opening frame before notching a goal himself. Stutzle started the month with a four-game scoreless spell, but he […]

Joonas Korpisalo Blanks Vancouver

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Joonas Korpisalo posted his first shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over Vancouver Monday night. The Canucks are a very prolific team but could get only 20 shots on Korpisalo's goal and the Finnish netminder became only the second goalie this season to keep Vancouver from scoring. Korpisalo improved […]

Erik Karlsson Reaches 100 Points

San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson scored twice in Monday's 6-2 loss to Winnipeg to become the sixth blue-liner in NHL history with a 100-point season. He's the first rearguard to reach the plateau since Brian Leetch in 1991-92. Karlsson got there with 80 games, posting 25 goals and 75 assists. The 32-year-old is the […]

Stefan Noesen A Game-Time Call Monday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Stefan Noesen (lower body) is considered a game-time call for Monday's matchup against Ottawa. He missed the previous game against Buffalo but was a full participant in Sunday's practice, so it looks like Noesen has a good chance to return, although we won't know for sure until puck drop. The 30-year-old has […]

Devon Levi Set For Another Start

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Devon Levi is expected to get his fourth consecutive start Monday versus the Rangers. The 21-year-old has made a good start to his NHL career, going 3-1-0 in his first four appearances with a 3.17 goals-against average and a .904 save percentage. It's the first time this season the Sabres are going […]

Jared Spurgeon, Matt Dumba Won't Play Monday

Minnesota Wild defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Matt Dumba are getting Monday night off and won't play against Chicago.

Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello Rested Monday

Minnesota Wild forwards Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello haven't traveled with the team to Chicago and will sit out the game against the Blackhawks.

Mikey Anderson Back For Kings Monday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson (undisclosed) will return to the lineup Monday against Vancouver. The 23-year-old has been unavailable for five games due to an undisclosed ailment.

T.J. Oshie Out For The Season

Washington Capitals forward T.J. Oshie (upper body) will miss the team's final three games of the season.

The veteran ends his 15th campaign in the league with 19 goals and […]

Alex Ovechkin Out Again Monday

Washington Capitals left wing Alex Ovechkin (upper body) will miss a second straight game Monday versus the Islanders. He was a game-time call last time out, so it appears as though Ovechkin's injury isn't very severe, but the Capitals have nothing left to play for and there's no point in keeping Ovechkin in the lineup […]

Shaedon Sharpe Ready To Start Next Season

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Shaedon Sharpe has announced that he feels like he's ready to be a starter next season.

Jalen Duren Gobbles Up 18 Rebounds Sunday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren might have reminded some of the fans of the days when Dennis Rodman was still around Sunday, bagging a game-high 18 rebounds in a 103-81 loss to the Bulls. Duren added one block to his tally, but it was truly a mixed performance from him, as the 19-year-old managed to […]

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams completed his rookie campaign with a nice 22-point, 10-rebound double-double Sunday versus Cleveland.

In 30 minutes […]

Maxime Comtois Out For The Season

Anaheim Ducks left wing Maxime Comtois (upper body) has been ruled out for the season. He wasn't in the lineup on Sunday versus Colorado and the team announced that Comtois won't play in the rest of the games either.

Toronto Maple Leafs right wing Mitchell Marner set a new career high and joined exclusive company in Saturday's 7-1 win over Montreal. He had two goals and an assist in the contest to reach 98 points for the season, and Marner is now the third player to record at least 30 goals and 60 assists […]

Pavel Francouz Returns To Action Sunday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz (lower body) will make his first appearance in two months Sunday against Anaheim.

Over the course of the season, Francouz has had only 15 […]

Taylor Hall Rests On Sunday

Boston Bruins left wing Taylor Hall won't play Sunday against the Flyers.
