Washington Capitals forwards Nicklas Backstrom (illness) and T.J. Oshie (personal) will rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Penguins. Both players sat out Tuesday's clash with Colorado.

Seth Curry Listed As Questionable Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit. He went off for a season-high 32 points Wednesday against the Sixers but has a sore right knee and might elect to rest it on Thursday. The veteran sniper has regularly sat out the second leg of a back-to-back throughout the campaign, […]

Cory Joseph Out On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (back) won't play Thursday versus Brooklyn. The veteran made a good 18-minute cameo Monday versus Milwaukee with five points, three rebounds and seven assists, but he's had a very small role on the team throughout the campaign and Joseph's absence shouldn't have any effect on things. The Pistons have Killian […]

Isaiah Livers Questionable For Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Isaiah Livers (ankle) is regarded as questionable for Thursday's game against Brooklyn. He sprained his right ankle Monday versus Milwaukee.

Nyquist is enjoying a decent campaign on a struggling team with 10 goals and 22 points in 48 games. He's a top-six regular […]

Frederik Andersen Suffers An Upper-Body Injury

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen couldn't complete Wednesday's matchup against Dallas due to an upper-body injury. He exited after playing the first period, and it wasn't a good outing for the Danish netminder, as the Stars got two goals against him with only six shots. Antti Raanta was much stronger and helped to turn a […]

Cam Talbot Likely Out Until The All-Star Break

Ottawa Senators goaltender Cam Talbot sustained a lower-body injury Wednesday against the Islanders and head coach D.J. Smith believes that he could be out until the All-Star break.

Tristan Jarry Out Through The All-Star Break

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry (upper body) will be out of action until the All-Star break, meaning he will miss at least two games.

Justin Schultz Out Week-To-Week

Seattle Kraken defenseman Justin Schultz (undisclosed) will miss a third consecutive game Wednesday versus Vancouver and is considered week-to-week. Cale Fleury has entered the lineup to deputize for Schultz and should continue to do so until the veteran is ready to play again. Schultz has been enjoying something of a renaissance in Seattle this season, […]

Andre Burakovsky A Game-Time Call Wednesday

Seattle Kraken winger Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed) is considered a game-time call for Wednesday's meeting with Vancouver.
