Goalie Start
Schneider starts. #canucks
Schneider stopped 33 of 34 shots in a win over the Red Wings on Saturday. The Canucks did not do much offensively so he had to be sharp. He will look to record his 17th win of the season tonight when the Canucks take on Chicago.
Goalie Start
Viktor Fasth will start tonight for ANA.
Fasth has not recorded a win since April 7th. He has a good shot to get a W tonight against an Oilers team who have nothing to play for. Fasth should make for a great start.
Goalie Start
Lundqvist will start tomorrrow night vs. Panthers.
Lundqvist has won three straight starts including a win over the Panthers last Thursday. The Rangers are playing well as of late, start 'King' Henrik with confidence.

Eric Belanger returns to EDM lineup tonight for first time since March 25.

Goalie Start
Khabibulin first goalie off the ice at #Oilers morning skate, looks like he gets the nod against the #NHLDucks tonight
Khabibulin has allowed four goals in each of his last three starts dating back to March 28th. The Oilers have been eliminated from the playoffs as of yesterday so it would be tough to warrant him as a spot start. Regardless, the Ducks are a tough team to beat, look elsewhere.
Goalie Start
Fleury is one of the best fantasy goalies there is and you start him with confidence.
He will likely start but still monitor his status and wait for confirmation. His matchup with the Hurricanes is a good one.
Goalie Start
Bylsma says plan is for fleury to play final three games
Fleury is one of the best fantasy goalies there is and you start him with confidence. He will likely start but still monitor his status and wait for confirmation. He has a good matchup Thursday vs. the Devils.

#NHLJets recall Zach Redmond from conditioning assignment with St. John's IceCaps. Redmond earned two assists in two games over the weekend.
Like the Karlsson return, this is nothing short of spectacular. Redmond suffered a life-threatning laceration to his leg in practice earlier this season. He expected to miss the rest of the season because of the incident, but he is already back in the NHL. With Zach Bogosian out with a concussion, the door is open for Redmond to get back in the lineup. We'll have to wait and see if it is him, Derek Meech or Jacob Trouba tonight.

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.
