NHL Hockey Player News

Gibson allowed three goals on 34 shots in the Ducks loss to New Jersey on Sunday. Gibson has gone 2-3-1 with a 2.98 GAA and .902 SV% in his last six starts. In his first game against the Blackhawks, Gibson allowed four goals on 33 shots in a 4-2 loss in mid-January.

Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Lightning's win over the Flames on Saturday. It wasn't his best performance but it was enough to snap an ugly three-game losing streak. Overall, Vasilevskiy was 7-3-0 with a 2.91 GAA and .902 SV% in February. He comes into Tuesday's game at 2-0-0 with a 2.40 GAA and .924 SV% in his first two starts vs. the Bruins this season.

Angello will draw into the Penguins lineup with Brandon Tanev out with an illness. Angello has picked up one goal in seven NHL games this season and 25 points (16G / 9A) in 48 AHL games.

Tanev is battling an illness so he will be replaced by Anthony Angello tonight vs. the Senators. Angello will likely suit up on the fourth line with Teddy Blueger and Evan Rodrigues.

Marino will return after an 11-game absence with broken bones in his cheek but will suit up tonight vs. the Senators. Marino has been one of the biggest surprises in the NHL this season, posting 25 points (5G / 20A) in 51 games.

Dumoulin will play for the first time since November 30th after undergoing surgery to repair lacerated tendons in his left ankle. Dumoulin has picked up seven points (1G / 6A) while averaging 1.2 blocked shots and 17 hits per game in 23 games this season.

Murray allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Penguins loss in Anaheim last Friday. With Tristan Jarry having a rough outing in San Jose on Saturday, Murray will draw a favourable matchup with the Senators in town. Murray has lost three straight while posting a 3.75 GAA and .849 SV% but Ottawa has lost 12 of their last 13 road games (1-7-5) while scoring just 2.08 goals per game.

Blackwood allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Devils loss in Los Angeles on Saturday. Blackwood was on an absolute heater in February, going 6-0-1 with a 1.27 GAA, .967 SV% and two shutouts in his last seven starts. In his first start vs. the Golden Knights, Blackwood surrendered four goals on 30 shots in a 4-3 loss (Dec.3).

Price allowed four goals on 34 shots in the Canadiens loss to the Rangers on Thursday. Price has had identical results in back-to-back games, giving up a combined eight goals on 68 shots (.882 SV%). After getting Saturday night off, Price will face the Islanders for the second time this season on Tuesday. He made 21 saves in 4-2 win in the first meeting (Dec.3).

Driedger has been sidelined by a lower-body injury since mid-January and was recently sent to Springfield on a conditioning stint. He struggled in his only AHL game, allowing five goals on 33 shots in a 6-3 loss to Bridgeport. He could be in-line to start Thursday with Sergei Bobrovsky (lower-body) listed as day-to-day.

Bobrovsky was a late-scratch on Sunday and missed Tuesday's practice, putting his status for Thursday's game in doubt. If Bobrovsky isn't available vs. the Bruins, Chris Driedger comes back from the AHL and will join Sam Montembeault as the Panthers' temporary goaltending duo.

Russell left Monday's game in Nashville late in the third period and will be a game-timed decision tonight in Dallas. William Lagesson will replace Russell if he can't play.

Neal has been out since January 29th with an ankle injury but will play tonight in Dallas. There's no word on how the lines will shake out but it seems highly likely that Neal will skate on the top line with Connor McDavid. Neal has 19 goals and 10 assists (29 points) in 50 games this season.

Hurricanes GM Don Waddell addressed the media on Tuesday and said Mrazek is at least one more week with a concussion. The Hurricanes have gone 0-2-1 while giving up 11 goals (3.67 GA/gm) since Mrazek and James Reimer got hurt.
