The Dispatch is reporting that Raffi Torres will be scratched tonight as he works on getting his stamina up to snuff. Freddy Modin will return to the lineup in his place. Speaking of the Jackets, Filatov skated for 45 minutes and looks good - he probably won't play tonight, but next game is possible. Or they [...]
This is an underrated deal in fantasy circles, not unlike the one that brought Lindstrom to Phoenix last month. Dan Fritsche was traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Rangers in exchange for defenseman Erik Reitz.
With the trading deadline set to happen in little over one month, many teams may be looking to deal with their various free agents now. Who’s in line for a big payday this summer? Who will get traded? Who will get inked to a new deal? Why do they call them “free” agents, when there is nothing free about them?
I’ll rate each of the Eastern Conference team’s likelihood of becoming buyers, sellers or standing pat at the deadline.
Peter Mueller's tough sophomore campaign continues. He left last night's contest with a minor concussion. He'll probably be out a week to 10 days. Steve Ott has five points in his last five games, to go with a plus-2 rating. Satan played 15 minutes last night and was on the second PP unit, but did not get [...]
Breaking news: Phil Kessel (mono) has been cleared to play and he will be in the lineup. Marc Savard had today off from practice, so it's tough to tell who Kessel will play with. He practiced with Bergeron and Lucic though. As a result of Dan Boyle's injury suffered at the All-Star game (tweaked something [...]
The Stars have sent Fabian Brunnstrom to the AHL today. This is a conditioning assignment, although again TSN painted this picture much blacker than it is (what is with them today?) Patrice Bergeron has been cleared to play and he will lace them up against the Caps. The Rangers have placed Dan Fritsche on waivers. Although [...]

Kris Versteeg may have a broken pinky finger. He is doubtful for Wednesday. Duncan Keith, however, will be back from his concussion. Milan Lucic will be back in the Boston lineup Tuesday against the Caps Perhaps Patrick Kane's goal at the All-Star Game will snap him out of his 12-game goalless drought. Kane owners can [...]
Kris Versteeg has stitches on his finger after getting slashed by Keith Tkachuk Wednesday. He may miss Wednesday's game, but likely not beyond that. Zach Bogosian has four points in his last three games - the first four of his career. He could be a 40-point player next year. In the last 16 games, Toronto's Dominic Moore [...]
It was two years ago this month that the NHL got a rude awakening to the Internet age, almost suffering their very own Rick Roll thanks to the work of one fan. However, this season, Rory Fitzpatrick will legitimately represent his league during the 2009 AHL All-Star Classic in Worcester, Massachusetts. And, guess what, he's captain! Who else is going, and what how does it impact their fantasy value?
