Ottawa Senators defenseman Artem Zub is set to see his first action in the NHL after joining the roster from the taxi squad.

Mikhail Sergachev Adds Two Helpers Against Predators

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev had two assists in a 4-3 victory over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. One of his assists came on Callan Foote's first goal of his NHL career. Despite playing on the team's second power-play unit, Sergachev only has three assists in six Tampa Bay contests. Look for the […]

Thomas Chabot Absent From Saturday's Practice

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (undisclosed) did not take part in the team's practice on Saturday. The 24-year-old left Thursday's game early for precautionary reasons, but it now looks like his availability for Sunday's game is in jeopardy.

Thomas Chabot Leads Ottawa In Loss To Vancouver

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot scored Ottawa's lone goal in a 4-1 loss to Vancouver. Chabot's goal, his second on the season, was an unassisted tally and the only shot Ottawa could slip by Vancouver's Braden Holtby despite throwing 37 shots on net. Chabot may not be making waves with his point total, four points […]

Slater Koekkoek Joins Lineup On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Slater Koekkoek will be back in the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Maple Leafs. He played in the first seven games of the season, before being scratched for Tuesday's 6-4 loss to Winnipeg. Koekkoek will play on the third pairing with Tyson Barrie. A lot has been expected by the former […]

Derek Stepan Out Thursday With Undisclosed Injury

Ottawa Senators center Derek Stepan (undisclosed) won't feature Thursday night against the Canucks. Filip Chlapik will play in his place. Defenseman Christian Wolanin (lower body) is also ruled out and has been placed on the injured reserve. Stepan is rated day-to-day, so he likely won't be missing for long. He's desperately in need of a […]

Alex Pietrangelo Placed On COVID-19 List

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has been placed on the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list. The news comes after Vegas' Thursday's matchup with the St. Louis Blues was postponed.

Brian Dumoulin Set To Miss Some Time

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Brian Dumoulin (lower body) won't be able to help his side in the upcoming games after getting injured in Tuesday's clash with Boston. He is labeled week-to-week and his absence is a big blow for the Penguins. Dumoulin had only one point in the first seven games of the season, but he […]

Lucas Carlsson Comes Out Of The Lineup Wednesday

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Lucas Carlsson, who made his season debut on Tuesday against Nashville, isn't expected to play in Wednesday's rematch. The 23-year-old had a quiet night in his first game of the season, recording one shot in 15:36 on the ice but not much else. Nicolas Beaudin is now set to get his first […]

John Carlson Stands Out On Tuesday

Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson extended his personal point streak to four games in his team's 3-2 home victory over the Washington Capitals on Tuesday night.

Ivan Provorov Leads Flyers To Victory On Tuesday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov registered a goal and added a pair of assists as his team secured a 5-2 win over the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. The 24-year-old, who had been held relatively quiet through his first six games (one goal, one assist) was very noticeable in this one - also contributing two […]

John Klingberg Has Two Points In Stars Victory

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg was involved in both goals when the team beat Detroit on Tuesday 2-1 in overtime. He tied things up in the second period with a power-play and went on to provide an assist on Jason Dickinson's game-winner. Denis Gurianov finished the matchup with two assists.

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller produced his first career goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Sabres. Brendan Lemieux and Colin Blackwell set him up for the special occasion in the final minute of the opening frame. Chris Kreider also scored for the Rangers, who suffered a fourth consecutive loss.

Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Adam Boqvist and winger Alex DeBrincat are the latest players who have been added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocol list.

Zach Werenski Lights Lamp In Saturday's Victory

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski registered his first goal of the season as his team picked up a 5-2 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.

Dylan DeMelo Makes Season Debut Against Former Team

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan DeMelo will join Josh Morrissey on the top pairing for his season debut on Saturday against the Senators.

Olli Maatta Left Out On Saturday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Olli Maatta will be a healthy scratch on Saturday against the Blues with Kurtis MacDermid replacing him in the lineup. Maatta logged only 11:04 in Thursday's 4-2 win over Colorado and he has struggled to adapt to his new team. His spot on the top pairing will go to Mikey Anderson, […]

Alexander Edler Returns For The Canucks

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Alexander Edler (upper body) is back in the lineup on Saturday against Montreal after missing Thursday's clash with the Habs. The Swedish blue-liner was labeled day-to-day but he wasn't expected to return on Saturday, so this is great news for fantasy managers. Edler hasn't done much so far this season with one […]

Matt Grzelcyk Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (undisclosed) won't suit up for Saturday's clash versus the Flyers with his status labeled as day-to-day. Connor Clifton will enter the lineup, while Charlie McAvoy will take over from Grzelcyk on the top power-play unit. The 23-year-old is pointless so far this season so maybe this will help him get […]

John Klingberg Good To Go On Friday

Dallas Stars defenseman John Klingberg will play on Friday against Nashville despite missing Thursday's practice for medical reasons. Tyler Seguin (hip), Stephen Johns (undisclosed) and Blake Comeau (COVID-19) will miss the season opener.

Anthony DeAngelo Set To Return To The Lineup

New York Rangers defenseman Anthony DeAngelo looks set to make his second appearance of the season on Friday against Pittsburgh, replacing Brendan Smith in the lineup.

Juuso Riikola, Marcus Pettersson Out For Penguins On Friday

Pittsburgh Penguins defensemen Juuso Riikola and Marcus Pettersson will miss Friday's matchup against the Rangers, as both players are dealing with upper-body issues.

The 21-year-old posted […]

Charlie McAvoy Scoreless Through Four Games

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy was held off the scoresheet for the fourth consecutive time to start the season as his team defeated the visiting Philadelphia Flyers 5-4 in a shootout on Thursday.

Ty Smith Bags Another Point

New Jersey Devils defenseman Ty Smith recorded an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Isles, taking his point streak to four games. The 20-year old is now the 11th blueliner in NHL history to start off his career with a point streak of four or more games. He set up Nathan Bastian for a […]

Josh Manson To Miss Six Weeks Due To Injury

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Josh Manson will be sidelined for the next six weeks due to an oblique muscle injury sustained in the first period of his team's 1-0 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Monday.

Travis Hamonic Questionable On Thursday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Travis Hamonic is listed as questionable to play in a rematch versus the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday. The 11-year NHL veteran suffered an undisclosed injury in Wednesday's night game versus the Canadiens, skating 15:55 of ice time in the contest. With just two assists, seven shots, seven blocks and four hits through […]

Bowen Byram Making NHL Debut Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Bowen Byram will make his NHL debut on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings. The fourth-overall pick from the 2019 NHL Draft is one of the top defensive prospects in hockey, which seems unfair given the Avs already have Cale Makar, Devon Toews, and Samuel Girard in their lineup. It is […]
