Nicolas Roy Won't Play Saturday, Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

Vegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy (lower-body) will not travel with the team for their Saturday game in Edmonton. Roy has been deemed day-to-day by coach Bruce Cassidy.

Scott Wedgewood Day-To-Day After Being Stretchered Off Thursday

Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood (upper-body) is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and is doubtful for Saturday's game against the New York Islanders.

Anton Forsberg Shuts The Door On Sabres

Ottawa Senators goalie Anton Forsberg was on his game Wednesday, stopping 29 of 30 shots en route to a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was unbeatable Saturday, stopping all 30 shots he faced to put up his second shutout of the year.

Aledmys Diaz In Astros Lineup For Game 2

Houston Astros utility man Aledmys Diaz is in the starting lineup on Saturday, batting seventh and playing left field in Game 2 of the World Series.

Edmundo Sosa In Lineup Against Lefty For Game 2

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Edmundo Sosa is in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the World Series against lefty Framber Valdez.

Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado will catch Justin Verlander in Game 1 of the World Series.
