James Reimer Considered Week-To-Week

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer (lower body) is considered week-to-week after he was injured in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Vegas. It's a bitter blow for the team, as Reimer had been carrying the team between the pipes since Adin Hill (lower body) got sidelined. With Hill still on the shelf, the team moved quickly […]

Andrew Hammond Placed On Injured Reserve

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Andrew Hammond has been placed on Injured Reserve with a lower-body injury, the team announced on Friday. He took down Calgary 5-4 in overtime Thursday night, but it appears that the 34-year-old also tweaked something.

Tyler Seguin, Miro Heiskanen Questionable For Friday

Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin and defenseman Miro Heiskanen are both regarded as game-time decisions for Friday's matchup against Winnipeg.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Brayden McNabb exited Thursday's 5-2 loss to Boston with an apparent arm/hand injury.

Vancouver Canucks forward J.T. Miller scored the team's second goal in Thursday's 4-3 victory over the Islanders, extending his point streak to eight games.

Alexander Radulov Pops Up With A Big Power-Play Goal

Dallas Stars winger Alexander Radulov ended a 10-game goal drought on Wednesday, netting the game-winner on the power play in a 4-3 victory over Los Angeles.

Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi hit a big milestone in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Seattle, registering 500 career points during a two-assist performance.

Valeri Nichushkin Considered Day-To-Day

Colorado Avalanche winger Valeri Nichushkin (upper body) was a late scratch on Tuesday against the Islanders and is considered day-to-day. His absence allowed Alex Newhook to move to the second line. The Avalanche are back in action on Thursday against Arizona, so Nichushkin doesn't have a lot of time to recover and could now end […]

Devon Toews Notches Three Points Versus Islanders

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Devon Toews showed the New York Islanders what they have given up by getting three points against them in Tuesday's 5-3 victory. The 28-year-old rearguard, who was traded by the Islanders for a couple of draft picks in 2020, factored in all of Colorado's first three goals, scoring his 10th goal of […]

Kyle Connor Hands Out Three Assists As Jets Make History

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor posted his second consecutive multi-point game on Tuesday as the team picked apart Montreal in an 8-4 victory.

His first chance to […]

Kevin Fiala Replaces Kirill Kaprizov On Top Line

Minnesota Wild winger Kevin Fiala will join the top line for Saturday's contest against Washington, replacing Kirill Kaprizov (upper body).
