Georgiev allowed two goals on 27 shots in the Rangers' 2-1 loss in Vancouver on January 4th. It was a better outing for Georgiev, who allowed a combined 16 goals in his previous three outings. He has struggled at Madison Square Garden (2-5-1 | 3.41 GAA | .893 SV%) this season but has been great against the Islanders in his young career, going 2-1-0 with a 0.87 GAA, .967 SV% and one shutout in three starts.
Samsonov stopped 26 of 27 shots in the Capitals win over the Senators last Tuesday. Braden Holtby started the last two games but they'll come back to Samsonov tonight vs. the Hurricanes. He has won three straight while posing a 1.64 GAA and .948 SV% since Christmas, with one of those wins being a 38-save performance in a 4-3 win in Carolina on January 3rd.
Grzelcyk was forced to leave Saturday's game against the Islanders after being slashed early in the first period. Grzelcyk skated on Sunday but head coach Bruce Cassidy said that he "seems to be better" but that they'll see "how much strength he has there" during Monday's morning skate.
Andersen was yanked after allowing four goals on 12 shots in the Maple Leafs' 8-4 loss in Florida on Sunday. Andersen has lost three in a row while giving up a combined 10 goals on 59 shots (.831 SV%). In his last nine starts, Andersen has given up at least three goals eight times. He is 5-0-2 with a 4.00 GAA and .883 SV% over that stretch.
Kase played just 5:00 TOI in Saturday's loss to the Lightning. He returns to the AHL with Connor Bunnaman coming the other way to serve as the Flyers' fourth-line centre on Monday. Kase has three goals and four assists (seven points) in 29 AHL games this season.
Bunnaman will be the latest Phantom to get a shot to stick on the Flyers fourth line. Recalling Bunnaman will allow Scott Laughton to move back to the wing, where head coach Alain Vigneault thinks he "best helps the team." Bunnaman has four goals and one assist (five points) in 21 AHL games this season.
Muzzin is week-to-week with a broken foot and his move to IR opened up a roster spot for the Maple Leafs to activate Andreas Johnsson, who is listed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game.
Bobrovsky is dealing with an upper-body injury that popped up in Saturday's practice and will not be available for Sunday's game vs. the Maple Leafs. Head coach Joel Quenneville said he expects Bobrovsky to be back for Thursday's game vs. the Kings.
Jonathan Bernier is not on the ice for warmups, so Pickard has re-joined the Red Wings and will be Howard's backup vs. the Sabres.
