NHL Hockey Player News
Goalie Start
Peters starts for the Hurricanes.
Peter's had his two-game winning streak snapped in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Wild on Saturday. He stopped 28 of 30 shots - his third strong outing in a row. However, you should likely stay away from Peters tonight when he faces the second place Colorado Avalanche.
Injury
Forward Mike Fisher (lower body) skated on his own Monday and was listed as questionable for Tuesday’s game.
Fisher has missed the last three games - monitor his status following the Predators' morning skate.
Goalie Start
Bobrovsky expected to start for the Blue Jackets.
On Saturday, Bobrovsky recorded his first win since October 25 when he stopped 24 of 26 shots in a 5-2 win over the Islanders. He had lost three straight starts prior to the W on Saturday and will be in tough tonight as the Blue Jackets visit Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals.
Aulie left Monday with an upper-body injury.
It was only the second time Aulie has dressed this season. He played 8:32 today, but is considered day-to-day after a game where the Lightning lost Steven Stamkos and Sami Salo.
Salo left Monday's game with a lower-body injury.
In a game where Steven Stamkos broke his tibia, losing Salo is just salt in the wound. It sounds like the injury might be serious, not a broken tibia serious, but he could miss multiple weeks.
Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault said if he were a betting man, he'd bet on Dominic Moore being back in Rangers' lineup Saturday vs. Montreal.
Moore has missed the last six games with an oblique injury. Moore has one assist and a minus-5 rating in 11 games, he is not a realistic fantasy consideration.
Burns (mouth) did not skate on a regular line at Sharks practice on Monday, indicating that he likely won't be in the lineup on Tuesday.
Burns continues to progress towards a return, but it does not appear that it will be tomorrow. James Neal randomly played on Saturday though so don't completely rule him out yet. His next opportunity to play would be Thursday versus Vancouver.
Stamkos broke his tibia and will need surgery.
Stamkos is out indefinitely after scoring 14 goals and adding 9 assists (t-1st in NHL with 23 points) in 16 games. Valtteri Filppula, Tyler Johnson and Nate Thompson should see expanded roles with Stamkos out.
Morrow (upper-body) might play on Tuesday.
Morrow has missed the last five games after suffering an upper-body injury on October 29 vs. Washington. The veteran winger is not the scoring threat that he used to be - he has very limited fantasy value.
Penguins head coach Dan Bylsma says Martin is day-to-day and could miss Flyers game Wednesday.
Martin missed Saturday's game vs. St. Louis and his status for Wednesday remains uncertain. The Penguins will release an update following Wednesday's morning skate. He has one goal and five assists in 16 contests.
Getzlaf (upper-body) is traveling to Florida with the Ducks.
Getzlaf sat out on Sunday after being banged up vs. Buffalo - in a game he registered a hat-trick. The injury is expected to be minor and he could play on Tuesday vs. the Panthers.
Jordan Leopold will be out two months following surgery on his hand.
Leopold suffered the injury over the weekend and missed Saturday's contest. Following an evaluation it was announced he would need surgery to repair a ligament. Ian Cole will fill the void on the St. Louis blueline. Leopold has two assists in 13 games, but will be out until January.
Stamkos leaves Monday's game on stretcher after feet first collision with the Lightning net.
Stamkos was in obvious pain and has been taken to the hospital for X-rays. It looked gruesome and could be a severe injury for the Lightning sniper. We will get a full update when it is released.
Goalie Start
Berra starts Tuesday.
Berra stopped 24 of 27 shots in a loss to the Blues on Thursday. He has posted a 3.33 GAA and .895 SV% in three starts and makes for a risky play tomorrow vs. San Jose.
Goalie Start
Halak gets the nod on Tuesday.
Halak shut the door on 19 of 20 shots in a win over the Penguins on Saturday. It was his fourth win in his last five starts and his ninth on the year. Halak carries a solid 2.19 GAA and .913 SV% in Tuesday's contest with the Coyotes.
Goalie Start
Lundqvist vs. Brodeur on Tuesday.
Lundqvist gave up three goals on 27 shots in a win over the Panthers on Sunday. Remember when you were panicking about his start? Well, in his last five starts he has four wins with a 1.40 GAA, a .949 SV% and one shutout. 'King Henrik' will go head-to-head with Martin Brodeur who has back-to-back shutouts.
"Skinner (upper-body) is still a couple of weeks away" says head coach Kirk Muller.
Skinner has missed seven games with an upper-body injury and will be out until late November.
Briere (concussion) could return tomorrow.
Briere practiced over the weekend in a full-contact capacity. He has been out since October 19 (missed last 10 games) but head coach Michel Therrien said “We hope Daniel Briere can come back tomorrow. We’ll make a decision after morning skate on Tuesday”. Monitor his status tomorrow.
Emelin (knee) has been cleared to play and will likely suit up this weekend.
Emelin has not appeared in a game this season but was stlll inked to a four-year contract extension in October. He is an important part of the Canadiens blueline, but is not a useful fantasy asset.

Who are the top NHL players to watch this season?
There’s never been more talent scattered across the NHL than there is this season. With living legends like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin still setting records left-and-right, alongside today’s current superstars such as Connor McDavid and Nathan Mackinnon, the level of talent in the NHL is at an all-time high. Along with these established stars, there’s plenty of budding stars emerging every season such as Connor Bedard, Macklin Celebrini, and Matvei Michkov.
What are the latest updates on NHL player suspensions or disciplinary actions?
Already this season we’ve seen the hammer brought down by the NHL Department of Player Safety. Notable suspensions and fines include Ryan Reaves of the Toronto Maple Leafs who was given a five-game suspension for an illegal check to the head against the Edmonton Oilers, and Los Angeles Kings forward Tanner Jeannot who was dealt a three-game suspension, also for an illegal hit to the head.
In the 2023-24 season, there were a total of 14 suspensions and 17 fines issued throughout the NHL. The longest suspension served was dealt to former-Detroit Red Wing David Perron at six-games after a cross-checking penalty dealt ironically against his current team in the 2024-25 season, the Ottawa Senators. Additionally, Perron was fined $148,437.48 for his actions.
How are NHL player performances impacting fantasy hockey?
NHL player performances make a direct impact on the outcome of any fantasy hockey matchup. Staying up to date with the latest news and performances of your team’s players can be the difference between winning and losing.
Some notable fantasy hockey performers that flew under the radar in most drafts this year include Martin Necas (123 ADP) of the Carolina Hurricanes and Kiefer Sherwood of the Vancouver Canucks. While sleeper picks are always a great get, nothing is worse than a bust taken early on. Some of the most disappointing players of the fantasy hockey season includes Zach Hyman (28 ADP) of the Edmonton Oilers and Jason Robertson of the Dallas Stars (33 ADP).
Whether you’re checking out how your current rostered players are performing or scouting for hidden gems on the waiver wire, the latest player news can help you make your next winning move this season.
Which NHL players are having breakout or comeback seasons?
Every season there are several players who have breakout years, establishing themselves as some of the best up-and-coming stars in the league. In the 2024-25 season early breakout candidates have emerged such as Dylan Strome of the Washington Capitals (on-pace for his first 100-point season) and Ivan Barbashev of the Vegas Golden Knights (on-pace for career-high in points).
Additionally, nothing beats a comeback story, and that can be said about surging veterans such as Anze Koipitar of the Los Angeles Kings, and Matt Duchene of the Dallas Stars.
