Curtis McElhinney Blanks Montreal

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Curtis McElhinney saved all 33 shots on Saturday in the 4-0 win against the Montreal Canadiens.

In […]

Mike Tauchman Making Serious Case For Spot On Roster

His versatility as a player who can play great defense while providing speed and […]

Ryan McMahon Doubtful To Start At First Base

Colorado Rockies infielder Ryan McMahon went 2-for-4 with one run, two RBI and a double in the 4-3 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.

Torey Krug Hits 50 Points For Second Straight Season

Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug recorded three assists in the 3-0 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Artturi Lehkonen Finding The Back Of The Net

Carlos Gonzalez Gets A Hit In 2018 Spring Debut

Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez went 1-for-3 with a run in his spring training debut.

If Gonzalez can have a […]

Tom Murphy Removed From Spring Training Game For Precautionary Reasons

Colorado Rockies catcher Tom Murphy was taken out of the game against the Angels after taking a backswing to the helmet.

Tauchman appears to be another Rockies player ready to make the jump […]

Gerardo Parra Has Another Solid Spring Game

Colorado Rockies outfielder Gerardo Parra had another good game, going 1-for-2 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base. Parra is most likely going to split time with Carlos Gonzalez in right field due to his adept defensive abilities. However, his impressive play could warrant some starts at left field. This game puts Parra […]

Jon Gray Gives Up Five Runs In Start

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Jon Gray went four innings, giving up six hits, five runs (all earned), two walks and six strikeouts on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Frederik Andersen Leaves Game With Upper-Body Injury

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Frederik Andersen did not return to the game after receiving an upper-body injury in the 6-5 win against the Dallas Stars.

James Van Riemsdyk Scores Hat Trick In Win

Toronto Maple Leafs forward James Van Riemsdyk scored a hat trick in the 6-5 win against the Dallas Stars on Wednesday. Van Riemsdyk has been a very good fantasy asset for goal scoring this season with 29 goals in 69 games, and this hat trick breaks a four-game pointless streak for him. He also took […]

New Jersey Devils goaltender Keith Kinkaid is officially the starting goaltender against the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday.

However, the signing of outfielder Carlos Gonzalez means […]

Bud Black Isn't Concerned About Ian Desmond's Wretched Spring Training

Colorado Rockies outfielder and first baseman Ian Desmond struck out three times in three plate appearances in the 8-7 win against the Seattle Mariners.

However, Rockies manager Bud Black […]

DJ LeMahieu Continues Solid Spring Training

Colorado Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu hit two singles and earned a walk in three plate appearances in the 8-7 win against the Seattle Mariners.

Erik Karlsson Rounding Into Form

Ottawa Senators defenseman Erik Karlsson scored a goal and added an assist in the 7-4 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Mike Hoffman Starting To Heat Up With Two Goals

Ottawa Senators forward Mike Hoffman scored two goals in the 7-4 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning. While Hoffman has had consistency issues since entering the NHL in the 2014-2015 season, the offense he produces when he's on a hot streak is worthwhile for fantasy owners. In Hoffman's last nine games, he currently has 10 […]

Ian Desmond's Abysmal Spring Training Could Lead To Less At-Bats

Colorado Rockies first baseman and outfielder Ian Desmond has had an abysmal spring training, as he collected only his second hit in 25 at-bats with a double against the Diamondbacks.
