Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was back in action on Sunday and scored a team-high 26 points in a blowout loss to Atlanta.

Mike Hoffman Won't Play On Sunday

Montreal Canadiens winger Mike Hoffman (upper body) won't take the ice as the team completes a back-to-back set against Boston on Sunday. He logged 18 minutes in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit, so it doesn't look like Hoffman is dealing with anything serious and should be considered day-to-day. The 31-year-old finished last month with […]

Jakob Chychrun Finally Lights The Lamp

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Jakob Chychrun, who led all blue-liners with 18 goals in 2020-21, finally scored his first goal of the new season on Saturday, ending Juuse Saros' shutout bid late with a power-play goal in a 4-1 loss against Nashville.

Evan Rodrigues Posts Three Points Against Senators

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Evan Rodrigues put together a three-point performance in Saturday's 6-3 loss to Ottawa, scoring twice and handing out one assist. He exploded in the third period with the Senators 4-0 up, so Rodrigues's big performance didn't help the team much, but it was a special night for the 28-year-old, who is now […]
