The Hawks started the season with an awful run of giving […]

Luka Doncic Posts 28-Point Performance Saturday Night

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic tallied 28 points with eight assists and five rebounds in Saturday's loss to Houston.

Marcus Hogberg Gets First Start Of The Season

Ottawa Senators goaltender Marcus Hogberg will get his first start of the season on Saturday against Winnipeg.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will face the struggling Senators on Saturday, looking to continue his strong start to the season.

He has already beaten Ottawa once this season with a 28-save performance in a 4-1 victory. […]

Dylan DeMelo Makes Season Debut Against Former Team

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan DeMelo will join Josh Morrissey on the top pairing for his season debut on Saturday against the Senators. The 27-year-old spent a year and a half in Ottawa before getting traded to Winnipeg 11 months ago. He missed the team's recent three-game road trip to stay home with his wife and […]

Ottawa Senators forward Artem Anisimov will make his third appearance of the season on Saturday, slotting into the second line, which gives him a chance to impress.

Olli Maatta Left Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Olli Maatta will be a healthy scratch on Saturday against the Blues with Kurtis MacDermid replacing him in the lineup. Maatta logged only 11:04 in Thursday's 4-2 win over Colorado and he has struggled to adapt to his new team. His spot on the top pairing will go to Mikey Anderson, […]

Cal Petersen Gets Second Start Of The Season

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Cal Petersen will likely get the nod for Saturday's game against St. Louis, which will mark his second start of the season. He suffered a 3-2 loss to Colorado in his first start earlier in the week, posting 21 saves. Petersen has done well in his young career so far with […]

Alexander Edler Returns For The Canucks

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler (upper body) is back in the lineup on Saturday against Montreal after missing Thursday's clash with the Habs. The Swedish blue-liner was labeled day-to-day but he wasn't expected to return on Saturday, so this is great news for fantasy managers. Edler hasn't done much so far this season with one […]

Jordan Binnington Faces Kings Saturday Night

St. Louis Blues goaltender Jordan Binnington will go for his third win of the season in Saturday's matchup against the L.A. Kings. He has a 2-1-1 record for the year with a 2.67 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage. The Blues have won nine of the last 13 meetings between these two, so Binnington […]

Corey Perry Makes His Canadiens Debut Saturday Night

Montreal Canadiens right wing Corey Perry will join the lineup on Saturday to make his team debut against Vancouver. The veteran winger is set to log third-line minutes. Perry has very little fantasy value these days, but he is among the most prolific active players in the league with 377 career goals, and he'll skate […]

Carey Price Faces Canucks On Saturday

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price will make his fourth appearance of the season on Saturday against Vancouver. The former MVP has a 1-0-2 record so far with a 3.50 goals-against average and a .887 save percentage. Price has been money throughout his career on Saturday, putting together a 116-51-25 record, and he won his first […]

Braden Holtby Looks For Another Win Over Canadiens

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Braden Holtby will look to make it two wins in two starts against the Canadiens on Saturday. The 31-year-old netminder had a tough time against Montreal on Tuesday, giving up five goals, but he still ended up with the W in a 6-5 shootout victory. Holtby has a 2-1-0 record for the […]

Carter Hart Gets Another Chance To Take Down Boston

Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Carter Hart will make his fifth start of the season on Saturday versus Boston, against whom he lost his previous start 5-4 in a shootout.

Matt Grzelcyk Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (undisclosed) won't suit up for Saturday's clash versus the Flyers with his status labeled as day-to-day. Connor Clifton will enter the lineup, while Charlie McAvoy will take over from Grzelcyk on the top power-play unit. The 23-year-old is pointless so far this season so maybe this will help him get […]

Jaroslav Halak Takes On Flyers Saturday Night

Boston Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak will man the crease on Saturday against Philadelphia, trying to get off the mark for the season. The veteran netminder lost his only previous start this season 2-1 in overtime to New Jersey. He delivered a solid performance with 29 saves, so it shouldn't take him too long to start […]

Phil Di Giuseppe Stays Productive Friday Night

New York Rangers winger Phil Di Giuseppe collected a pair of assists in Friday's 4-3 shootout loss to Pittsburgh, upping his tally for the season to four points. He's played only three games so the 27-year-old is pretty hot to start off the campaign. Di Giuseppe added a team-high five shots on Friday and also […]

Artemi Panarin Reaches 100 Points For Rangers

New York Rangers left wing Artemi Panarin collected his 100th point in the team's jersey on Friday, posting a power-play assist on an Adam Fox goal.

Bryan Rust Posts First Goal And 11 Shots In Penguins Victory

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Bryan Rust was like a man possessed in Friday's 4-3 shootout victory over the Rangers, recording 11 of the team's 28 shots on goal.

Dylan Cozens Scores First NHL Goal

Buffalo Sabres forward Dylan Cozens celebrated his first career goal in Friday's losing effort against Washington, bagging an unassisted marker in the middle of the second frame. Eric Staal and Riley Sheahan also scored for the Sabres in a 4-3 shootout loss, while the team's top line was held pointless. Cozens is the seventh pick […]

Tom Wilson Picks Up Lower-Body Injury Friday Night

Washington Capitals right wing Tom Wilson left Friday's 4-3 shootout victory against Buffalo early with a lower-body injury. He collected an assist and had four shots and one block before leaving in the third period. Wilson's injury is another blow for the Capitals, who are already without Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov due to the […]

Jakub Vrana Produces Two Points In Friday's Win

Washington Capitals left wing Jakub Vrana posted his first multi-point effort of the season on Friday, helping the team to a 4-3 shootout win over Buffalo.
