  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: MRI booked for Sunday

    Kaprizov (lower body) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, reports Elliotte Freidman of Sportsnet.

    He was hit by Drake Caggiula when he cut back toward the middle of center ice in Thursday's game. Kaprizov missed Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Calgary following the awkward collision. A timeline for his return should come before Monday's matchup against Winnipeg. Kaprizov ranks second in the NHL with 34 points (13 goals, 21 assists) through 19 appearances this season.

    Oilers' Drake Caggiula: Sent down after game

    Caggiula was reassigned to AHL Bakersfield following Saturday's 6-2 win over the Rangers.

    The Oilers are juggling injury concerns and are right up against the cap, so Caggiula may be shuttled between levels regularly in the near term. Edmonton's next game is Friday in Utah as the first half of a back-to-back that completes next Saturday in Colorado.

  • Brad Marchand LW | BOS

    Bruins' Brad Marchand: Scores winning goal Saturday

    Marchand scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Marchand found the back of the net for the first time since Nov. 9, and the veteran came through when Boston needed him the most. His wrister with 9:30 left in the third period gave the Bruins a second straight victory under new head coach Joe Sacco. Marchand is up to six goals and nine assists across 22 appearances this season.

  • Joel Armia RW | MON

    Canadiens' Joel Armia: Picks up power-play assist

    Armia had a power-play assist and three hits in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Vegas.

    Armia was patient with the puck until he had a passing lane to Emil Heineman for Montreal's first goal. It was the third assist in the last three games for Armia, who has nine points, 26 shots, 25 hits, 12 blocks, 12 PIM and a minus-8 rating over 20 games outings.

  • Alex Tuch RW | BUF

    Sabres' Alex Tuch: Intercepts pass for shortie

    Tuch scored a shorthanded goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Tuch picked off a pass and was off to the races, scoring at 5:27 of the third period. His goal stood as the game-winner. The 28-year-old winger has three goals and six assists during his six-game point streak. For the season, he's up to seven tallies (three shorthanded), 21 points, 49 shots on net, 30 blocked shots, 19 hits and a plus-11 rating over 21 appearances. Tuch's offense is rarely in question, but his all-around game has taken a step forward in 2024-25 -- perhaps with shades of former Vegas teammate Mark Stone in terms of defensive effort.

  • Justin Brazeau RW | BOS

    Bruins' Justin Brazeau: Scores power-play goal

    Brazeau scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Brazeau netted his fifth goal of the season Saturday when he deflected a shot midway through the first period when the Bruins had the man advantage. The left winger snapped an eight-game goalless drought with this goal, and he also matched his goal tally from the previous campaign. Brazeau is up to nine points (five goals, four assists) in 20 regular-season appearances.

  • Max Sasson C | VAN

    Canucks' Max Sasson: Point in NHL debut

    Sasson picked up an assist in his NHL debut Saturday, a 4-3 win over the Senators.

    He lured the defense toward him, pulled up and found Teddy Blueger trailing. Sasson played 7:49 and finished plus-1. And he earned the requisite shaving cream bomb from teammates in a TV interview after the game. Sasson is a bottom-six guy with a motor that never quits. His fantasy game is limited, but his enthusiasm is great to watch.

  • Bruins' Jeremy Swayman: Earns win over Detroit

    Swayman stopped 19 of 20 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Red Wings.

    Swayman could've posted his second shutout of the season if he hadn't surrendered a goal to Lucas Raymond with only 58 seconds left in the second period. It was a bounce-back performance for the 25-year-old Swayman, who had given up 12 goals on 66 shots over his previous two appearances. Through 15 outings, He has a 6-7-2 record with an .886 save percentage.

  • Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher: Helps twice in loss

    Gallagher had a power-play and even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-2 loss to Vegas. He added three shots, a block and two hits.

    Gallagher had the secondary helper on Emil Heineman's power play marker before picking up the primary assist on Jayden Struble's tally. It has been a renaissance season for the 32-year-old Gallagher, whose two helpers gave him 10 points over the last 12 outings.

  • Sabres' Rasmus Dahlin: Fills stat sheet Saturday

    Dahlin scored an empty-net goal on five shots, dished an assist, went plus-3, blocked three shots, logged two hits and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Sharks.

    Dahlin contributed in virtually every fantasy category a defenseman can, except for special-teams production. He rebounded nicely after his seven-game point streak ended Friday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks. Dahlin has been among the best blueliners in the NHL for fantasy purposes, racking up six goals, 13 assists, eight power-play points, 64 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 22 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 21 appearances.
