Dejounte Murray's Struggles Continue

San Antonio Spurs point guard Dejounte Murray was a team-worst minus-22 in Monday's 109-93 loss to the Houston Rockets, finishing with just seven points in 20 minutes. Head coach Gregg Popovich even took one timeout to specifically yell at Murray, which pretty much tells you everything about his performance. After failing to be in double […]

Davis Bertans Makes It Five Straight Games In Double Figures

San Antonio Spurs forward Davis Bertans is playing his best basketball of the season right now, as he has scored double-figure points in five consecutive games. The 25-year-old Latvian shot 4-for-8 on Monday against Houston, finishing with 11 points in 20 minutes. He did very well from deep, shooting 3-for-6, while also grabbing three rebounds. […]

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay made his sixth start of the season on Monday, playing 24 minutes and scoring 13 points on 5-for-16 shooting against the Rockets.

Pau Gasol Disappoints On Monday

San Antonio Spurs center Pau Gasol had a great spot to perform on Monday against the Rockets with LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) out, but the starters struggled all night and Gasol ended up laying an egg, getting just 15 minutes on the floor while recording four points and four rebounds.

William Karlsson Back Among The Goals In Vegas Win

Ryan Carpenter Scores Vegas Winner In Philadelphia

Anders Nilsson Faces Kings On Monday

Vancouver Canucks goalie Anders Nilsson will be making his 22nd start of the season in Monday's road game against the L.A. Kings. It's only his second start this month, following a 31-save effort last week in a 5-2 loss to Minnesota. It will take a very brave fantasy owner to use Nilsson on Monday, as […]

John Gibson The Ducks Starter Versus Blues

Anaheim Ducks goalie John Gibson will be back in the crease on Monday with the team hosting the St. Louis Blues. Gibson saw a six-game winning streak end in his last outing, which the Ducks lost 4-2 in Nashville.

Darcy Kuemper Picks Up Fourth Shutout Of The Season

Arizona Coyotes goalie Darcy Kuemper was named the first star on Sunday, following a 27-save shutout against the Vancouver Canucks.

Mike Smith Rusty On Return

Calgary Flames goalie Mike Smith was back between the pipes on Sunday following a month-long absence and he didn't have a good comeback, allowing four goals in a 5-2 loss to the Islanders.

Mark Giordano Has Three Goals In Four Games

Calgary Flames defenseman Mark Giordano scored his third goal in the last four games on Sunday against the Islanders to make it 13 goals for the season. The Flames captain now needs just two more goals to share the league's top goal-scoring honor among defensemen with teammate Dougie Hamilton and P.K. Subban. Giordano already has […]

Johnny Gaudreau Reaches New Career High

Calgary Flames left wing Johnny Gaudreau reached a new career high in points on Sunday, ending a seven-game goal drought and picking up an assist in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders.

Clint Capela Held In Check By Mavs

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela finished Sunday's blowout win over Dallas with only four points and eight rebounds.

Trevor Ariza Can't Find His Range On Sunday

Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza had one of his worst shooting nights of the season on Sunday, finishing with three points on 1-for-10 shooting against Dallas.

Chris Paul Leads The Charge Against Dallas

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul picked up his second double-double in three games on Sunday, leading the charge against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out.

Eric Gordon Shines In Start

Houston Rockets shooting guard Eric Gordon made his 25th start of the year on Sunday against Dallas with James Harden (knee) out, scoring 26 points with six triples in 31 minutes. Gordon went 6-for-11 from deep in what was his fifth straight game shooting over 40 percent from downtown. He has been shooting pretty poorly […]

Jacob Markstrom Finishes The Week For Canucks

Vancouver Canucks goalie Jacob Markstrom is set to start the final game of the week on Sunday against the Arizona Coyotes after being the first guy off the ice in the morning skate.

Cam Talbot Picks Up Third Win On The Bounce

Edmonton Oilers goalie Cam Talbot made 32 saves to pick up his third consecutive win in Saturday's tilt against Devan Dubnyk and the Wild. Talbot is enjoying one of his best runs of the year right now, as it's only the third time he's won three or more starts in a row. The current run […]

Ethan Bear Has Points In Consecutive Games

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Ethan Bear collected his first career points in the NHL this week, picking up assists in consecutive games. It's been a promising start from the 2015 fifth-round pick, who made only his fifth appearance on Saturday against the Wild. Bear played 19:54, with 1:32 coming on the power play, and he should […]

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins In Good Form Following Injury

Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has come back strong following a six-week injury layoff, picking up four points in four games, including two in Saturday's win over Minnesota.

Wesley Matthews Logs 25 Minutes In Return From Injury

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (hip) was back on the court on Saturday after missing the last two games, playing 25 minutes in a 114-80 win over Memphis.
