Anaheim

Hiller made 31 saves, and Anaheim survived Minnesota's late surge for a 3-2 victory on Friday night.

4:49 ET

Impact: Emery, who is 8-0-0 this season, lowered his goals-against average to 1.92 with that effort. He's expected to start Friday's game against Columbus and could be in net for the next couple of games as Crawford is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

Colorado

Landeskog had a goal and two assists, and the Avalanche scored three times in the third period to rally past the Flames 5-4 on Thursday night.

5:23 ET

Impact: After tallying just one assist in his first three games back from injury, Landeskog finally broke out in a big way Thursday. Hopefully that effort is a sign of things to come.

Fraser had two assists in Thursday's win over the Islanders.

11:31 ET

Scott Clemmensen, G

Photo of Scott Clemmensen

Florida

Clemmensen was unceremoniously dumped as the Panthers lost 4-3 to the Sabres in a shootout Thursday night.

5:32 ET

Impact: Clemmensen was dumped after yielding three goals on 10 first-period shots. Fantasy should do the same and get rid of him.

Dalton Prout, D

5:20 ET

5:27 ET

Pittsburgh

Fleury made 25 saves Thursday in a 4-1 loss at Carolina.

5:41 ET

Buffalo

Gerbe scored his first two goals of the season as the Sabres beat the struggling Florida Panthers 4-3 in a shootout Thursday night.

5:28 ET

Potter left Thursday's contest against Dallas late in the first period after he was leveled by a hit from Eric Nystrom.

Tlusty scored twice and added an assist Thursday in a 4-1 win over the Pens.

Dany Heatley, RW

Photo of Dany Heatley

Minnesota

Heatley scored twice Thursday in a 4-3 win at Phoenix.

5:31 ET

Impact: Despite his big day, Heatley has just five points over his last 14 games. Fantasy owners are surely looking for more from the incredibly skilled veteran.

Anaheim

Getzlaf had three assists as the Ducks beat the Nashville Predators 5-1 Wednesday night for their seventh straight home victory.

3:37 ET

Impact: Getzlaf has nine points during a four-game streak and is showing no signs of slowing down. Start him and reap major fantasy bragging rights.

Jimmy Howard, G

Detroit

Howard made 27 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Stanley Cup champ Kings.

3:41 ET

Impact: Howard is 1-3-1 with a ghastly 3.61 GAA on the road so starting him away from Detroit is a major fantasy risk at this moment.

Claude Giroux, C

Philadelphia

Giroux scored a goal and assisted on another in Philadelphia's 4-1 win over Washington on Wednesday.

4:30 ET

Impact: Giroux extended his point streak to six games, a span over which he has 12 points.

Jonathan Bernier, G

Photo of Jonathan Bernier

Los Angeles

Bernier made a season-high 32 saves in Wednesday's 2-1 win over Detroit.

3:43 ET

Impact: It's no secret that Kings coach Darryl Sutter is unhappy with Jonathan Quick and Bernier - as well as any astute fantasy owners - could be beneficiaries. Bernier is 4-1-0 with a 1.64 GAA and Sutter likes the hot hand so he should get more starts in the crease at Quick's expense.

Matt Gilroy, D

3:35 ET

Impact: Palmieri sounded more confident after this rare outburst for the center. "It's been an up-and-down season for me, but I hope that this gives me the confidence to put together a nice little hot streak," Palmieri said. Fantasy owners can only hope he is correct.

Anaheim

Perry had three assists as the Ducks beat the Nashville Predators 5-1 Wednesday night for their seventh straight home victory.

3:36 ET

Nashville

Rinne was abysmal in a 5-1 loss at Anaheim on Wednesday night.

3:39 ET

Impact: Rinne allowed at least four goals for the third game in a row after coming in with a 1.90 goals-against average and a league-best three shutouts. He was replaced by Chris Mason and seems to be slumping.

Dallas

Bachman made 16 saves in a 5-4 OT win at Columbus on Tuesday.

1:47 ET

4:48 ET

Impact: It is unclear when the injury occurred, but coach Alain Vigneault said Kesler might have been playing with it before it was diagnosed. Kesler played over 19 minutes against Phoenix on Tuesday and earned an assist. Kesler didn't practice on Wednesday and was seen wearing an air cast.

1:16 ET

Impact: The rookie left wing has limited value, getting three goals and two assists in 16 games. He may have a tough time getting back in the lineup once he's healthy since the Flyers acquired Simon Gagne in a trade with Los Angeles.
