Claude Giroux Has Goal In Game 6 Loss

Philadelphia Flyers center Claude Giroux had a hell of a season, finishing with 102 points.

He scored that goal in Game 6, but it wasn't enough as the Pittsburgh Penguins stormed back from a two-goal […]

Sean Couturier Has Hat Trick In Game 6 Series-Ending Loss

Philadelphia Flyers center Sean Couturier had a really impressive Game 6 on Sunday, scoring three goals )and had two assists) for a hat trick.

San Jose Sharks center Joe Thornton, who missed the entire first round sweep of the Ducks, won't be able to help the team in the first game of the second round battle versus Vegas either.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center John Henson (back) has been ruled out of Sunday's Game 4 versus the Boston Celtics. He was listed as doubtful after sitting out Game 3, so it's not a surprise to see him inactive again.

Willson Contreras Will Sit Out Series Finale Sunday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras will get a day of rest Sunday versus the Colorado Rockies. Contreras is in a bit of a slump with just four hits over his last 17 at-bats.

Wilson Ramos Getting the Day Off on Sunday

Tampa Bay Rays catcher Wilson Ramos is getting the day off on Sunday due to rest. Jesus Sucre is starting and batting seventh in his place. Ramos has been sluggish to start the year, hitting .241 with a home run and five RBI, but should be in most lineups when he's behind the plate.

Francisco Mejia Picks Up Three Hits Saturday

Cleveland Indians prospect, catcher Francisco Mejia went three-for-five Saturday evening. Mejia is one of the best catcher prospects in the league, but has been off to a slow start prior to tonight with a .228 batting average. Mejia has one of the best bat-to-ball approaches in the minor leagues and should be up to help […]

Buster Posey Scratched From Saturday’s Lineup

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey has been scratched from Saturday’s contest with back stiffness. Pablo Sandoval will replace Posey in the lineup. More should be known on Posey’s status after tonight’s game, but he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Patrice Bergeron "Looking Good" To Return For Game 5

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron was a surprise omission from the lineup in game 4, but is expected to return to his top-line role on Saturday.

Tomas Plekanec Bumped From Second Line

As many expected, Toronto Maple Leafs center Tomas Plekanec has lost his spot on the second line as a result of Nazem Kadri’s return from suspension. Plekanec played his best hockey of the series and as a Maple Leaf in games 3 and 4, posting two points and limiting Boston’s top line. It was a […]
