NHL Hockey Player News

True is expected to centre the Sharks third line in his NHL debut in Calgary. He has 25 points (11G / 14A) in 40 AHL games this season.

Letunov was a second-round pick of the Blues in 2014 but was traded to the Coyotes in 2015 and to the Sharks in 2016. The 23-year-old has 10 goals and 20 assists (30 points) in 39 AHL games this season.

The Hurricanes continue to rotate a forward out of the lineup, first, it was Nino Niederreiter than Ryan Dzingel and tonight it will be Wallmark.

The Hurricanes continue to rotate a froward in and out of the lineup, so tonight Dzingel will replace Lucas Wallmark. Dzingel, who has 27 points (8G / 19A) in 51 games this season, will skate on the fourth line and PP2.

Mrazek allowed four goals on 37 shots in the Hurricanes loss to the Golden Knights last Friday. Mrazek struggled in January, going 2-5-0 with a 2.48 GAA and .910 SV% in seven games. Tonight he'll face a Blues team that his suddenly struggling. They've lost five of their last six (1-4-1) while scoring just 2.67 goals per game.

Hellebuyck stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Jets win over the Blues on Saturday. It was a terrific outing for Hellebuyck, who snapped a three-game losing streak in the process. On Tuesday he'll face the Predators for the third time this season and was excellent in the first two meetings, stopping 69 of the 71 shots (.972 SV%) that he faced.

Saros allowed four goals on 33 shots in the Predators win in Washington last Wednesday. Saros has given up at least three goals in four of his last five games, the one exception was a 28-save shutout vs. the Jets, who he'll face again tonight. Saros comes into Tuesday's game at 5-4-3 with a 3.40 GAA and .895 SV% on the road this year.

Domingue allowed three goals on 31 shots in the Devils overtime loss to the Stars on Saturday. Domingue has played well at the Prudential Center this season, going 2-1-1 with a 2.00 GAA and .925 SV% in four home starts. Tonight he faces his hometown team, who he is 3-1-0 with a 2.86 GAA and .885 SV% against in his career.

Shesterkin allowed two goals one 25 shots in the Rangers win over the Red Wings last Friday. Shesterkin has performed very well early in his NHL career, going 3-1-0 with a 2.51 GAA and .927 SV% in his first four starts. However, Wednesday will be his stiffest test yet. The Maple Leafs come in averaging the second-most goals with the third-best power-play since Christmas. With Michael Hutchinson in the other crease, Shesterkin is a good candidate for the win but will likely give up three or four goals.

Lyubushkin missed Saturday's game vs. the Blackhawks but will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. Lyubushkin, who has two assists in 35 games this season, is expected to replace Kyle Capobianco on the blueline.

Ekman-Larsson won't play Tuesday vs. the Oilers which means the Coyotes will lean heavily on Jakob Chychrun and Alex Goligoski for another game. Ekman-Larsson is day-to-day.

Crawford allowed two goals on 42 shots in the Blackhawks shootout win in Arizona on Saturday. Crawford was fantastic and extended his winning streak to three games, stooping an impressive 103 of the 108 shots (.954 SV%) that he faced. He'll look to stay hot vs. a Wild team that has lost six of their last nine (3-5-1) while averaging 3.11 goals per game.

Andersen was forced to leave last night's game after the first period and did not return. Andersen was not on the ice for Tuesday's practice and will not travel to New York for Tuesday's game. Michael Hutchinson will start tomorrow but all-in-all this is pretty good news for Andersen and the Maple Leafs.

Hutchinson allowed three goals on 13 shots after replacing Frederik Andersen as the Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 lead to lose to Florida on Monday. Hutchinson has been better since Christmas, but that's hardly saying much. Over that stretch, he is 3-3-0 with a 3.00 GAA and .886 SV% in six games but is a putrid 1-6-0 with a 4.73 GAA and .861 SV% on the road this year, so there's not much to like about him in New York tonight.

Raanta stopped 42 of 44 shots in Arizona's shootout loss to the Blackhawks on Friday. Even a terrific performance wasn't enough to snap Raanta's losing streak, which was extended to four games. He'll look to get back in the win column tonight vs. the Oilers. He is 5-4-1 with a 2.27 GAA and .930 SV% on home ice this year but was shelled for six goals one 18 shots in two periods in his first start vs. Edmonton.

Rittich allowed six goals on 28 shots in the Flames loss to the Oilers. He was pulled and then reinserted after Cam Talbot was tossed for fighting but the end result was Rittich's worst outing of the season. He'll look to get back in the win column against the Sharks, who have lost five of their last six while scoring just 1.67 goals per game.

Bishop allowed two goals on 31 shots in the Stars win in New Jersey on Saturday. With Anton Khudobin going last night, Bishop will draw the Isles tonight. He has gone 6-4-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .909 SV% on the road this year while the Islanders come in on a three-game home losing streak while being outscored 13-to-9.

Grubauer gave up five goals on 27 shots in Colorado's loss in Philadelphia on Saturday. Grubauer has lost three of his last five starts (2-2-1) while posting a 3.03 GAA and .890 SV%. His opponent on Tuesday is a Sabres team that is 1-3-0 while scoring just 1.50 goals per game in their last four games.

With Frederik Andersen getting hurt last night, Kaskisuo re-joins the Maple Leafs where he and Michael Hutchinson will form their goaltending tandem for the time being. The 26-year-old Finnish netminder has gone 12-7-2 with a 2.67 GAA and .912 SV% in the AHL this season but was shelled for six goals on 38 shots in his NHL debut earlier in the year.
