Florida Panthers goaltender James Reimer will return to the crease on Friday after sitting out Tuesday's 6-5 shootout loss to Philadelphia. Head coach Bob Boughner gave Michael Hutchinson a chance to end the team's losing streak, but it didn't go well, so it's Reimer's turn again. He sits on a 0-2-1 record ahead of tonight's […]

Nathan MacKinnon Has First Three-Point Night

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon had his first three-point night of the season on Thursday, finishing a 5-3 win over New Jersey with three assists.

Will Butcher Healthy Enough To Play On Thursday

New Jersey Devils defenseman Will Butcher, who left Tuesday's 3-0 win over Dallas early with an undisclosed injury, will be in the lineup against Colorado on Thursday.

Drew Stafford Set For Season Debut Versus Colorado

New Jersey Devils right wing Drew Stafford is expected to make his first appearance of the season in Thursday's matchup against the Avalanche.

Keith Kinkaid Gets The Avs On Thursday

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid starts against Philipp Grubauer and the Colorado Avalanche on Thursday.

Kinkaid has two […]
