Patrick Kane's multi-point night not enough

Patrick Kane scored and added a helper in Chicago's 4-3 loss to the LA Kings on Wednesday.

Kane picked up his 23rd goal of the season in the loss and his 53rd point in 48 games. He now has six points in his last four games. If he keeps up this pace he has a shot at eclipsing his career high 88 points he registered back in 2009. Patrick Sharp also added a goal and an assist in the loss. Andrew Shaw scored the other goal for Chicago.

Jonathan Quick beats Chicago

Jonathan Quick stopped 26-of-29 shots to help the Kings beat the Blackhawks 4-3 on Wednesday.

It was just his second win in 2015 but was an impressive one as the Kings came from behind to beat rival Chicago. He hasn't been great this month but still holds a solid 17-10 record with a 2.48 GAA and .911 save percentage. Hopefully this galvanizing win jump starts his game as LA goes into the stretch drive and you try to win your fantasy pools.

He now has three goals in two games after going six straight without finding the back of the net. Carter has 36 points in 48 games this season. Jake Muzzin and Tyler Toffoli were credited with the other two goals while Anze Kopitar picked up two helpers.

Alex Ovechkin scores twice in Caps' shutout

All-star Alex Ovechkin scored two goals in the Washington Capitals' 4-0 shutout over the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins Wednesday night.

The goals were Ovechkin's 28th and 29th of the season. They gave the Caps a 2-0 lead after two periods. Nicklas Backstrom assisted on both goals and now has 35 on the season. Defenseman Mike Green also assisted on Ovechkin's second goal and chipped in with a goal of his own in the third period. It was his fifth tally of the season. Eric Fehr also netted a goal in the third period for the winners and now has 15 on the season.

G Cory Schneider superb in shootout victory

New Jersey goalie Cory Schneider stopped 29 of 30 Toronto shots before the Devils defeated the Maple Leafs 2-1 in a shootout Wednesday night in New Jersey.

Schneider kicked aside 12 power-play shots by the Leafs, many of them off the sticks of James van Riemsdyk and Tyler Bozak from close or point-blank range. Schneider also was fortunate when a blast by Leo Komarov from the left hash hit the far post midway through the second period. Schneider continues to improve for the Devils as the season progresses. He now has a very good goals-against average of 2.37 and a save percentage of .921 in a league-high 42 starts for NHL goalies in 2014-15. His record is 17-19-4. He wouldn't be a bad addition for the season's second half if he were available in fantasy leagues.

Jeremy Morin (heart) was hospitalized Tuesday

It's been revealed that Jeremy Morin was dealing with an accelerated heart rate during Tuesday's game and was hospitalized as a result.

Columbus initially reported that he was out indefinitely due to an upper-body injury. "His resting heart rate wasn't going down," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "It's nothing serious. I'm not sure he's if he's going to need further tests or not, but everything was fine. His heart rate calmed while he was being tested at the hospital." Kekalainen thinks Morin will be allowed to leave the hospital before the end of the day.

Penguins get Sidney Crosby back Wednesday

Tyler Toffoli will likely play on Wednesday

Tyler Toffoli (mono) is probable for Wednesday's game.

Toffoli has missed six straight games due to the disease. If he's in the lineup, then he'll probably skate alongside Dwight King on Jeff Carter. That would in turn cause Trevor Lewis to lose his top-six forward spot.

Taylor Hall has a bone bruise, is day-to-day

Taylor Hall's leg injury is a bone bruise.

Hall took a shot off his leg during Monday's practice and missed Tuesday's game as a result. He's day-to-day and questionable for Thursday's contest. If he can play, then Benoit Pouliot will likely slide off the first line.

Cal Clutterbuck gets fine for embellishment

Cal Clutterbuck has been handed a $2,000 fine for embellishment.

Clutterbuck is the fourth player to receive such a bill. Obviously, $2,000 is a relatively small amount for a player earning $2.75 million this season, but the hope is that by making these fines public, the players will be embarrassed into reforming.

Conditioning stint likely for J. Gustavsson

Jonas Gustavsson (shoulder) will probably need to have a conditioning stint before he rejoins the Red Wings lineup.

That stint in the minors could happen in the near future. Additionally, if he is sent down, it will probably just be for a game or two. He has a 2.30 GAA and .908 save percentage in just three games this season.
