Crawford gave up four goals on 44 shots in the Blackhawks loss in Los Angeles last Saturday. Robin Lehner has started four of the last five games but Crawford will face the Canucks on Thursday night. He has lost three straight games while allowing 12 goals on 104 shots (.885 SV%), so you may not want to start him against a Canucks team that is sixth in the NHL in goal scoring (3.47 GF/gm).
Rittich gave up three goals on 37 shots in the Flames win over the Coyotes on Tuesday. Rittich has now won three in a row while allowing a combined eight goals on the last 116 shots (.931 SV%) that he has faced. He is rolling right now and faces a Devils team that is 2-3-0 with just 1.80 goals per game on the road this season.
Subban surrendered four goals on 39 shots in the Golden Knights loss to the Jets last Saturday. Subban is now 0-1-1 with an ugly .887 SV% and tonight he gets a chance to face his hometown team. In his first career start against the Maple Leafs, Subban stopped 20 of 23 shots in a 6-3 win but that doesn't mean you should pick him up and start him on Thursday.
Bobrovsky stopped all 22 shots that he faced in the Panthers' shutout win over the Red Wings last Saturday. The win moved Bobrovsky to 3-1-1 with a 3.20 GAA, .898 SV% and one shutout on home ice this season. Tonight he faces a Capitals team that comes in at 7-1-1 while scoring 4.11 goals per game in their first nine road games of 2019-20.
DeBrusk is battling a lower-body injury and will not be available for tomorrow's game against the Red Wings. With DeBrusk out, Peter Cehlarik will move up to the second line and skate with David Krejci and Danton Heinen.
Letang was forced to exit Monday's game in Boston with a lower-body issue and will not play against the Islanders on Thursday. With Letang out, John Marino will move up to play on the top-pair with Brian Dumoulin and Justin Schultz will man the top power-play unit.
Campbell allowed three goals on 27 shots in the Kings' win over the Blackhawks last Saturday. Campbell and Jonathan Quick have been alternating starts as of late, so Campbell draws the Senators on Thursday night. Campbell is 1-1-0 while allowing a combined eight goals on 55 shots (.855 SV%) in his only two road starts of the season.
Murray was pulled after allowing three goals on 11 shots in the Penguins loss in Boston on Monday. Everyone is struggling against the Bruins right now, so Murray owners shouldn't worry about his latest outing. In his previous three road outings, Murray stopped 72 of the 79 shots (.911 SV%) and will try to snap the Islanders' winning streak on Thursday. The Isles have won 10 in a row while averaging 3.50 goals per game.
Andersen stopped 24 of 25 shots in the Maple Leafs win over the Kings on Tuesday. Andersen has now won three of his last four starts with a 2.17 GAA and .922 SV%. He is heating up and catches a break with Malcolm Subban starting instead of Marc-Andre Fleury. Vegas is 5-2-0 and is scoring 2.86 goals per game in their first seven road games.
Nilsson allowed two goals on 34 shots in the Senators' win in New York on Monday. It was a nice bounce-back effort for Nilsson, who struggled in his previous outing. The 29-year-old has gone 2-3-1 with a 3.12 GAA and .922 SV% in six games this year and faces the Kings on Thursday. Los Angeles has lost its last four road games while scoring just 1.25 goals per game.
Luoto came over from Finland this year and the 22-year-old has registered three assists in nine games with the Moose. Luoto will replace Bryan Little (head) on the roster and could make his NHL debut on Thursday.
Little was taken to hospital for stitches and evaluation after being hit in the head by a Nikolaj Ehlers shot on Tuesday. There is no word on how long Little will be sidelined but his move to IR means he'll miss at least two games. Joona Luoto was recalled from Manitoba (AHL) to take his spot on the roster.
Petan was brought back up from the AHL for Tuesday's game but Dmytro Timashov will replace him on Thursday night. Petan is still stuck on zero goals and one assist in five games this season.
Timashov was a healthy scratch on Tuesday but will be back in for Nic Petan on Thursday. Timashov has registered four points (1G / 3A) in 12 games this season while playing just 9:08 ATOI on the fourth line.
Boedker appeared in the last two games but will be replaced by Filip Chlapik on Thursday night. This will likely become a trend for Boedker this season.
After playing in the last two games, Ryan will be scratched for the third time in five games on Thursday. Jonathan Davidsson was recalled from Belleville (AHL) and will make his NHL debut in Ryan's spot.
