Line Change
Brown-Stoll-Williams
Brown continues to shuffle around the lines. He has five goals and 15 points in 29 games. The team's captain has the most value alongside Anze Kopitar but can generate offense on his own.
Line Change
Gagne-Kopitar-Penner
Gagne moves to the top line after playing on the second line. The former Philadelphia Flyer has seven goals and 15 points over 27 games. He has the most value in deeper fantasy hockey leagues.
Line Change
With D'Agostini not out here, Reaves skating with Sobotka/Langenbrunner,
Expect Reaves to remain in the lineup with D'Agostini out. He has 29 PIM through 19 games.
D'Agostini not practicing today. Left Saturday's game with upper-body injury, believed to be concussion-related. #stlblues
We may be seeing yet another example of delayed concussion affects. D'Agostini claimed to be fine following Saturday's game but may miss some playing time now.
#CBJ Head Coach Scott Arniel said Rick Nash did not practice today because it was a maintenance day for him. Expected to play tomorrow.
Nash has needed maintenance days over the last few seasons so this news comes as no surprise. Play the Blue Jackets captain as necessary.
Line Change
Have to think #CBJ coaches put G Steve Mason back in soon, but when? Tue. vs. VAN seems risky. Canucks are 2nd in NHL in scoring @ 3.31/game
Expect Mason to get a start within the next few games. The former Calder Trophy winner holds a 3-12-1 record with an awful 3.63 GAA and .875 SV%.
Goalie Start
Anderson in goal for Sens tomorrow.
In seven career starts against the Sabres, Andy has a 2-3-1 record with a 3.60 GAA and .903 SV%.
Patrick Kaleta feels the healthiest he has been since injury and might play Tuesday
Colin Stuart was sent back to the AHL following Saturday's game so Kaleta could take his place on the fourth line.
Mike Weber has been cleared to play for #Sabres
Sounds like Weber could replace rookie Brayden McNabb on the blue line. Stay tuned for a further update.
Injury
Mike Green went to see a specialist about his groin injury, according to a team spokesman. He's expected to join the #caps on the road.
The team only has a two-game road trip so take this update as an encouraging sign on his status.
Hainsey also in a regular practice jersey.
Certainly a step in the right direction for the two-way defender. Hainsey has only been able to play five games this season.
VOORHEES, N.J. — It would have been a surprise if he was on the ice, but Claude Giroux wasn’t on Monday morning for team practice. As expected, the Flyers are holding him out after he was hit in the head on Saturday night by Wayne Simmonds’ right knee and left the game. General manager Paul Holmgren said that he didn’t have headaches after the game and that on Sunday he was feeling better.
Not practicing with the team is a good indication he won't play against the Capitals. Stay tuned for a further update from the team but expect them to play it safe.
Line Change
Couturier centering Jagr and Hartnell at practice.#Flyers
The rookie gets a huge bump to the top line with Claude Giroux sidelined. The Phoenix, Arizona native has five goals and eight points in 28 games, primarily centering the fourth line.
Line Change
Frattin and kulemin play the wings for grabovski on the leafs 2/3rd line today.
Frattin gets switched to the Grabovski line. The Hobey Baker finalist has three goals and seven points in his second pro season.
Line Change
Macarthur and armstrong flank connolly on a line this morning at leaf practise.
MacArthur gets moved onto Connolly's line. He has nine goals and 12 points through 22 games but hasn't registered a point in three games.
Lightning D Kubina skating this morning without the red no-contact jersey. Waiting word on whether he is back in the lineup.
Kubina is eligible to play tonight and come off IR but likely sits since he isn't taking contact. He scored a goal and four points with 26 PIM prior to getting hurt. Drawing back in would be a big boost for the team.
Goalie Start
Dwayne Roloson off ice first for Lightning, so he gets start in net tonight vs Devils.
In 15 career appearances against the Devils, Roloson has a 3-9-2 record with a 2.85 GAA and .898 SV%.
Line Change
To activate Janssen, the Devils needed to make a roster move. He could play Monday night against the Lightning at the St. Pete Times Forum.
Janssen could draw in on the fourth line tonight. If he does, expect him to drop the gloves with Steve Downie.

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.
